What Are Some Recommended Websites for Learning About Chemistry?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommended websites for learning about chemistry, covering various subfields such as biochemistry, organic chemistry, surface chemistry, environmental chemistry, and historical aspects of chemistry. Participants share links to resources, tutorials, and databases that may aid in understanding different chemistry topics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares a comprehensive list of links covering various chemistry topics, including general chemistry, organic chemistry, and environmental chemistry.
  • Another participant provides links specifically focused on biochemistry, including resources on amino acids and metabolic pathways.
  • Several participants express appreciation for shared links, indicating their usefulness for projects and studies.
  • Additional links are provided on the history of chemistry, including timelines and classic papers.
  • One participant mentions resources related to femtochemistry and notable figures in the field.
  • Links to online newsletters and databases for chemists and chemical engineers are shared, covering a wide range of chemistry subjects.
  • Participants suggest that the thread could be made a sticky for easier access to the resources shared.
  • Various educational resources, including lecture notes and tutorials for undergraduate chemistry students, are mentioned.
  • Some participants share links to specific topics like thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, and quantum chemistry programs.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of the shared links, but there is no consensus on which specific resources are the best or most comprehensive. The discussion remains open-ended with multiple perspectives on the value of different websites.

Contextual Notes

Some links may have limitations based on their content or focus, and participants have not fully explored all resources mentioned. The discussion does not resolve which links are superior or most relevant for specific chemistry topics.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for students, educators, and professionals in chemistry or related fields seeking diverse resources for learning and research.

This list truly is great. I wanted to ask for some "teach me chemistry" links when I saw this thread. The thing is, I would like to learn some more (and faster) than I am doing now in class. To give you an idea, I am 17 years old and currently in fifth grade VWO (that's in holland. I still need to find out how to translate that to a more internationally understood system).
