The case studies are designed to encourage students to use problem-based learning to solve problems that are relevant and applicable to the real world. Answer keys are available to authorized instructors. CHEMTUTOR http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80974 This site has a lot of text materials covering many general chemistry topics. Some categories included on this site are the following: Numbers and Math, Units and Measures, Atomic Structure, Elements, Periodic Table, States of Matter, Compounds, Reactions, Mols, Oxidation and Reduction Reactions, Gases, Solutions, Acids and Bases, Kinetics (coming soon), and Thermochemistry (coming soon). A Brief Review of Elementary Quantum Chemistry http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80832 Thist site is a review of elementary quantum chemistry from Georgia Institute of Technology. An Introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80811 This web site explains molecular orbital theory very thoroughly. It uses 3-D pictorial presentations of molecular orbitals to elucidate organic reaction mechanisms - such as those found in pericyclic chemistry. The pictorial content uses both Chimed and VRML enhanced images, and demonstrates that these forms can be used in the place of traditional "curly arrows" and "resonance hybrids״, as they can provide a deeped and more subtle insight into the mechanism of a reaction. An Introduction to the Electronic Structure of Atoms and Molecules http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80190 Titled, "An Introduction to the Electronic Structure of Atoms and Molecules״, this site is an in-depth review of the basics of atomic structures and atomic physics. Topics such as probability amplitudes, the hydrogen atom, atomic orbitals, the electronic basis for the properties of the elements, chemical bonds, ionic and covalent bindings, and molecular orbitals are touched upon with the help of contour maps and colored diagrams. There is no interactive experiments or animations but the clarity and the amount of material covered is very good. The site also has problem sets, which are a good review for quizzes and tests. Aromaticity http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80808 This web page offers a tutorial on aromatic compounds and their properties. Bio-organic Chemistry Tutorials http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80807 This site has tutorials on molecular shapes and isomerism, chirality and isomerism, protein structure, and nucleic acids. Chapter 11: Arenes and Aromaticity http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80809 This web site is a very detailed, multi-paged instruction on aromaticity and aromatic compounds. Chemguide http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80789 This site has tutorials covering structure and bonding, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry, as well as instrumental analysis. Chemistry of Coordination Compounds http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80813 This web site consists of a slide-show covering the chemistry of coordination compounds. The slide-show consists of 96 slides total, many with pictures or other figures as well as loads of information.
