Organic Chemistry

  • ChemHelper
    The Organic Chemistry Help site is not for students cramming for final exams, although they would do well to make a visit. Written in straightforward style, this site can serve as a quick refresher of lots of chemistry concepts. Pages cover the structure, properties, and nomenclature of the major classes of organic molecules and explain common reaction mechanisms. A chemistry student at Frostburg State University in Maryland provides tips on synthesis techniques, practice tests, and rated links to other chemistry sites.

Nuclear Chemistry

  • The ABC's of Nuclear Science
    Introduces the object that contains almost all of the mass in the universe, the atomic nucleus. Antimatter, beta rays, fission and fusion, the structure of the nucleus, how elements on earth were produced, how we use the nucleus in everyday life, & the effects of radiation on the environment are among the topics. The site includes nearly a dozen experiments that can be done in chemistry and physics classes, along with "A Teacher's Guide to Nuclear Science Wall Chart."

General Chemistry

  • The Chemistry Collective
    The Chemistry Collective is a collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, and concepts tests which can be incorporated into a variety of teaching approaches as pre-labs, alternatives to textbook homework, and in-class activities for individuals or teams. It is organized by a group of faculty and staff at Carnegie Mellon University for college and high school teachers who are interested in using, assessing, and/or creating engaging online activities for chemistry education.
  • Acid Base Titration Simulation
    A simulation that allows you to perform a titration using various acids and bases on the computer.
  • ToxTown
    This site walks students through an interactive town where they explore commonly found toxic chemicals.
  • Chemist's Art Gallery
    Welcome to the Chemist's Art Gallery containing spectacular visualization and animations in chemistry done at the Visualization and Animation Laboratory at CSC by the Visualization Group and groups at other locations.
  • Nature Songs
  • Periodic Table Simulation
    In the 19th century Dmitri Mendeleev organized the known elements by their characteristics and atomic weights. His creation evolved into what we now call the periodic table. We use it regularly, but what would it be like to construct that model from scratch? What if you had to group elements by their characteristics and place them on a table close to the other elements in their group, while at the same time logically arranging the atomic weights? What decisions would you make? What would it be like... to be Mendeleev?
