Chemistry : Web Resources

The homepage for the American Chemical Society and related publications.

This site contains resources for both chemistry teachers and students. Links are divided into topical categories such as general, experiments, history, periodic tables, and software. It is also available in Spanish

This is a site where one can search for basic physical data and suppliers of chemicals by registry number, molecular formula, chemical name or synonyms in different languages.

Chemical Achievers: The Human Face of the Chemical Sciences. From the Chemical Heritage Foundation.

Chemical Elements.com is an interactive periodic table of the elements. Entries include Basic Information, Atomic Structure, Isotopes, Facts, and Related Links.

Steve Marsden's site is a collection of internet resources grouped under headings such as WWW Links, Elements, Lectures, Demos, and Labs.

This is an Environmental Protection Agency site promoting green, or sustainable chemistry. It is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry applies across the life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, and use.

This website gives an introduction to molecular modeling and offers examples of products available for educational purposes.

Publications, conference information, and news from the National Science Teachers Association.

This site provides searchable access to the data compiled and distributed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology such as thermochemical and thermophysical data, IR spectra, and mass spectra.

This site gives links to many other sites that are useful for general as well as organic chemists. Links include chemistry portals, databases, nomenclature, and named reaction sites.

The Chemistry Division's Periodic Table describes the history, properties, resources, uses, isotopes, forms, costs, and other information for each element.

This is a searchable index of printed handbooks and compilations of thermodynamic and thermophysical data. It is useful for finding which handbook might contain the data needed. The cataloging system used is that of the Library of Congress.

This site provides links to Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and other sources of information for pharmaceuticals and pesticides.

This site gives element information including names in four languages, historical information, uses and physical, electronic, and nuclear properties.

Indexes include general sites, government agencies, chemical manufacturers, and links to pesticide information.

The Chymistry of Isaac Newton project aims to produce a scholarly online edition of Newton's alchemical manuscripts integrated with new research on Newton's chymistry. The texts, encoded in TEI/XML, can be viewed in diplomatic or normalized versions and Latin and other non-English texts are accompanied by translations into English. Where possible, transcriptions will be accompanied by page images of the original manuscripts. An additional effort is the development and incorporation of scholarly analysis tools. The combination of a more accessible, digital edition of these works and advanced scholarly analysis tools, will, we hope, lead to further investigation of these important writings and continued revaluation of their place in Newton's overall scientific and creative enterprise.
