Unfortuately, it appears Scientia has ceased support for Physics, Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. These were very good resources. Biology is still supported at this time.


We also have an excellent resource in the PF Chemistry Forum.

List I have compiled elsewhere earlier, these are more like free books or ebooks:

http://preparatorychemistry.com

www.ChemReview.Net

http://bbruner.org/net_chem.htm#Textbooks

http://www.chem1.com/chemed/index.shtml
http://www.chem1.com/acad/webtext/virtualtextbook.html

http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/

http://wiki.chemprime.chemeddl.org/index.php/Main_Page

This is an organic text, but I am listing it to not forget about it:

http://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtualText/intro1.htm

Could be they were already posted in the chemistry websites thread.

Here is some more sites dealing with general chemistry:

http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/tutorials/

From the scientific method up to empirical gas laws. They are mostly quizzes, and the site does feature a simulation (an electrolyte solution simulation to be exact). I like to use the website to refresh skills. Oh! The site also features some exams to test yourself of how much you know or learned.

Concept test site (General Chemistry):

http://www.jce.divched.org/JCEDLib/QBank/collection/ConcepTests/general.htmlSome chemistry games:

(Will add some more sites in this post later)...

1. What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds?

Organic compounds are molecules that contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, while inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. Organic compounds are typically found in living organisms, while inorganic compounds can be found in non-living materials such as rocks and minerals.

2. What is the importance of studying organic chemistry?

Organic chemistry is important because it is the study of the structure, properties, and reactions of carbon-based compounds, which are the building blocks of life. Understanding organic chemistry is crucial in fields such as medicine, materials science, and environmental science.

3. What are some common functional groups found in organic compounds?

Some common functional groups found in organic compounds include alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and amines. These groups play a significant role in determining the properties and reactivity of organic molecules.

4. How do I name organic compounds?

The naming of organic compounds follows a set of rules outlined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The name of an organic compound is based on the number and position of its functional groups, and the longest continuous carbon chain in the molecule.

5. What are some real-world applications of organic chemistry?

Organic chemistry has a wide range of applications, including drug development, food and flavoring industry, cosmetics, and agriculture. It is also used in the production of plastics, fuels, and other materials. Understanding organic chemistry is crucial in developing sustainable and environmentally-friendly solutions to various problems.
