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.

I've followed the links through to some of the periodic tables on the web. I haven't found one that suits my needs, but then I haven't followed all of them. I wonder if someone knows of a table such as I describe here.

First, I will describe most of the tables I have seen so far. There are a bunch of squares layed out in a characteristic pattern. Each square has a one or two letter symbol for an element, the atomic number of that element, and the atomic weight. When you click on the square, you get more information about that element including the one thing that interests me the most, the chemical properties of the element.

What I want would look exactly the same when you went into the page. However, there would be a list of properties you could click on. If you clicked on "Boiling Point" for instance, then instead of atomic weights in the table, you would see boiling points. Atomic diameters, electron affinity, first ionization energy, etc. would all work the same. That way you could see the periodicity of the chemical properties of the elements which, I assume, played a central role in the creation of the table. More to the point, it would help me to solve the problems in the book I am reading.

In the book I am reading, there is a periodic table every so many pages that looks like a snap shot of the kind of table I am looking for. Is there one like that on the web now? There's nothing really to creating one. If one doesn't already exist, I might make it myself.

Here is a link to a periodic table such as I described in the previous post. Unfortunately, it only has a few properties. Even so, it works exactly as I had envisoned.

I have created my own periodic table and put it up at:

http://www.erratapage.com/pertab.html

It needs a lot of work to make it esthetically pleasing. But functionally, it is exactly what I wanted. It is extensible, so it is very easy to add more properties. The idea of the table is that you can select which property will be displayed and you can see the periodicity of that property such as it may be.

Is there a good realiable site that could helo review some of the priciples of quantum machanics, the quantum numbers and orbitals?

Hallo,

I am surprised to find this forum. The links are interesting ... I was looking for some chemistry history and beside wiki, I now have more things to research. I don't have much to contribute... not so much in phsyics, but there is a site good for college organic. The website has some video tutorials. Some people may find it useful.
Keep up the good work.

Borek,

How long have you been working on this site http://www.titrations.info just browsed through it a little and really liked what I saw. Great content by the way..

Hard to say. It is a side project. First serious content was uploaded in February, but you know how it goes - two hours here, one hour there...
