I'd like to have some advice on Inorganic textbooks.
I've already consulted some books (Kettle, Drago, Keiter, Cotton) and they are all very useful, but now I'm searching for a textbook which focuses deeper on the relationships between electronic configurations, periodic properties and reactivity.
I'd like to have a guideline which explain why some elements are more inert than others or their affinities but based on the description for example of the shielding properties and kind of valence electrons.
