Chemistry

You can teach yourself and learn general chemistry with this step-by-step introduction to the basic concepts. You can study these concepts in any order, but it's probably best to start from the top and work your way down, since many concepts build on understanding units, conversion, and how atoms and molecules interact.

Compound Interest is a website launched in 2013 by Andy Brunning with infographics on everyday chemistry. The infographics describe, for example, how chemicals found in food and nature give them smell, taste, and colour. The website has a monthly collaboration with the American Chemical Society

General chemistry help put together by the Bodner Research Group at Purdue University. It might not look very fancy, but there is some excellent content!

This site has been developed specifically for the secondary education/high school level teacher, as a resource for finding relevant information for use in the teaching of chemistry and alternative education. Moreover, students and other visitors interested in the topic of chemistry will find The Catalyst to be a valuable web resource for finding the information or answers they are seeking, and are encouraged to take advantage of this site as well.

In 46 episodes, Hank Green will teach you chemistry! This course is mostly based on the 2012 AP Chemistry curriculum, but it also covers some introductory organic chemistry. By the end of the course, you will be able to:

* Utilize the fundamental tools of chemistry, including the periodic table, nomenclature, and basic lab safety techniques
* Understand the structure of matter
* Predict and explain chemical reactions, and comprehend the many ways they affect our world
* Reason through problems involving kinetics, thermodynamics, and chemical equilibrium
* Recognize different organic chemicals and their uses

The Virtual Lab is an online simulation of a chemistry lab. It is designed to help students link chemical computations with authentic laboratory chemistry. The lab allows students to select from hundreds of standard reagents (aqueous) and manipulate them in a manner resembling a real lab. Features labs on:
- Stoichiometry
- Thermochemistry
- Equilibrium
- Acid-Base Chemistry
- Solubility
- Oxidation/Reduction and Electrochemistry
- Analytical Chemistry/Lab Techniques
