There is also a link to Dr. Phil Brown?s website where you can get questions for tests. The site?s information is based on the syllabus for UK students. The site does not have many diagrams or any interactive material. However, the information is detailed and clear. Students in high school and undergraduate general chemistry classes will find it very helpful. 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. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=280790 Use this tutorial to learn what a balanced chemical equation is, and how you go about balancing a chemical equation. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=229148 The Chemogenesis web book explores how chemical structure and reactivity emerge from the periodic table of the elements, and how they bifurcate into the rich, complex and extraordinary science that we know and experience. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=300557 University Library of Regensburg offers the "Electronic Journals Library," which contains over 25,000 titles, of which over 10,500 journals can be read free-of-charge. There are journal articles in the following areas: Agriculture, Archeaology, Civil engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Art, Computer Science, Education, Economics, History, Mathematics, Media, Medicine, Linguistics, Philosophy, Sociology, Science,Technology and many more. For more information about Electronic Journals Library see: http://rzblx1.uni-regensburg.de/ezeit/index.phtml?bibid=AAAAA&colors=7&lang=en. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80189 This is a glossary of terms used in Bioinorganic Chemistry set up by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The site is designed to standardize terminology and abbreviations. It is not, however, a comprehensive dictionary. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80938 This web site has materals covering many different physical sciences but highlighted here is chemistry. Within the chemistry portion of the site, it is possible to search for specific keywords, or browse through many different subjects such as analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and more. Once you perform your search, the database will then provide you with different web sites that match your search criteria with a brief description of each. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=280787 Concepts like molarity, Avogadro's number, and calculating molar masses are made easier with this printable Smartacus Study Sheet. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80794 Twenty pages of organic chemistry reactions with links exlaining each. You can browse through the pages or use the search bar. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=229149 "The Chemical Thesaurus is a reaction chemistry information system that extends traditional references by providing hyperlinks between related information. The program goes a long way toward meeting its ambitious goal of creating a nonlinear reference for reaction information. With its built-in connections, organizing themes, and multiple ways to sort and view data, The Chemical Thesaurus is much greater than the sum of the data in its database."The program does an excellent job of removing the artificial barriers between different subdisciplinary areas of chemistry by presenting a unified vision of inorganic and organic reaction chemistry."
