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 is a collection of links to audio/video courses and lectures in chemistry and chemical engineering from colleges/universities around the world.

This may be helpful for students who are interested in chemistry.

The Periodic Table of Videos - The University of Nottingham

I searched to see if this was posted before and could not find anything similar. These videos can also be accessed through you tube. Good videos for acquainting one's self with the elements.

You're welcome Zitana :)

Here is another one I am liking. A few pages of it have been referenced on PF before. It's an online chemistry learning tool :)

I'd like to recommend KhanAcademy's lectures on orbitals for anyone trying to wrap their brain around it... some sources make it seem so complicated and it's really simple! The videos are on you tube and are called Electron Configurations, Electron Configurations 2, and More on Orbitals and Electron Configurations

From the link provided by Borek, the dicussion on SPECIAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE RARE EARTH ELEMENTS is particularly interesting. It has been challenging even today.

The link is broken.
If you noticed, the post was from 2004, not surprised the link no longer works.

A project of mine that I started as a sophomore. Stoichiometry calculator, equilibrium constant calculator, phase portrait generator (amongst a few other tools). I also added a practice problems section a little while back, although it could certainly use some work (I've only had so much free time since I transferred :().
