General Reference

• HyperPhysics Chemistry covers many aspects of chemistry and physics, using interaction and concept maps to show how all physical science concepts are related.  (author: Georgia State Univ Rod Nave)
• ChemCollective features interactive chemistry tutorials, an excellent online stoichiometry unit, and a virtual lab, funded by the National Science Foundation and National Science Digital Library.
• Electrochemistry Dictionary is part of a larger site, which includes a list of resources and an electrochemistry encyclopedia, hosted by Case Western Reserve University and maintained by Illinois Institute of Technology
• IUPAC Nomenclature provides extensive links to glossaries and standards for naming chemical compounds hosted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry web site .
• EurekAlert! is an electronic index of research advances in science, medicine, health and technology as published in the science media, including peer-reviewed scientific journals. Although underwritten by commercial sponsors, AAAS is responsible for the editorial content.
• spectroscopyNOW.com offers spectroscopy information, resources and services. Techniques covered include: Mass Spectrometry, X-ray Spectrometry, NMR, Chemometrics, Infrared, Atomic Spectrometry, Raman Spectrometry, Ultraviolet, MRI, and Proteomics.
• CHEMnetBASE A wealth of chemical information from Chapman & Hall/CRC, publishers of major chemical reference works.

Periodic Tables

• NIST Periodic Table The National Institute of Standards and Technology created this table, which includes basic properties, spectral wavelengths, isotopes, and radiation data for each element.
• Periodic Table of Videos The University of Nottingham created 5 minute videos about each element, including experiments, applications, history, and more.  Actually entertaining!
• Chemicool Periodic Table This periodic table has links to information on each of the chemical elements and some simple chemistry calculators.
• LennTech Periodic Table This table gives each element's basic chemical properties as well as detailed articles on the element's environmental and health effects.
• American Elements This periodic table includes information on each element and its commonly associated chemical products. It also featured recent research on each element and product.

Online Tools

• Edgar Fahs Smith Collection of Images Over 3,000 images of scientist, laboratories, and scientific apparatus are provided by the University of Pennsylvania Library.
• 4000 Years of Women in Science This University of Alabama resource contains biographical information on women scientists through out history. Chemistry is among the many disciplines covered.
• Indiana University Molecular Structure Center This site allows users to construct molecules using several model types and also provides the ability to rotate the molecules for views from any angle.
• Molecular Weight Calculation This site is a simple calculator for determining the molecular weights of compounds.
