The Chemguide Web site is written and maintained by chemistry teacher and author Jim Clark. In his goal to help students better understand chemistry concepts, he offers several topics that include Atomic Structure and Bonding, Inorganic Chemistry, Basic Organic Chemistry, Organic Reaction Mechanisms, Instrumental Analysis, and Chemistry Calculations. The pages offer descriptions and illustrations, which, although may not give wide ranging information, can be a good supplemental source for students wishing to clarify or better understand material.

Chemistry in the news from the American Chemical Society.

The California State University Stanislaus developed these interactive chemistry Web tutorials to assist college students in mass spectrometry, proton NMR chemical shifts, and more. With the many animations and figures, visitors will find assistance with the subtraction and absorption of light and with infrared absorption frequencies for numerous compounds. The titration tutorials simulate laboratory experiments without the hazards of dealing with chemicals. Students will also find a very informative lesson describing how to use Excel to record and analyze their chemistry data. (from the Scout Report

Part of the Chemisty section of the WWW Virtual Library.

Provided by Kiwi Web Chemistry & New Zealand, the "What is Chemistry?" Web site offers a wealth of chemistry information and links. Visitors can read the definition of and link to other sites on inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, stoichiometry, nuclear chemistry, alchemy, and biochemistry. Other pages of the site explore acids and bases, redox reductions, equations, moles, periodic tables, and more. This extensive and interesting site does a good job of clearly explaining some difficult concepts as well as providing educators and students a good source of other quality sites containing similar content.
