Try MIT's Open Course Ware site - Chemistry Courses.

I think it might be hard to find a chemistry textbook on-line. That's a lot of work.

Another on-line chemistry course is - http://www.shodor.org/UNChem/index.html

I have this one called "The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments" but I don't know where to find it. It's an e-book I got from a guy on chemicalforums.com.

That book isn't really a textbook but more of a "experiments you can do" kind of book. It's worth noting that several of the experiments in that book could get you killed too, and they advocate some very outdated and dangerous procedures.

Just so you know...
