Periodic Table Information
WEB Elements is a database of the elements of the periodic table, including the most recently discovered elements.
Elementistory provides the history of selected elements from the periodic table.
This link will allow you to drill in the placement of elements in the Periodic Table by providing you with a blank table to fill in the chemical symbols.
The Visual Elements of the Periodic Table is a neat visualization of the elements with an amazing amount of data on each element. It is most effective using Flash.

Reviews of Concepts

Making Matter is a Web site that covers another important topic in inorganic chemistry—the structure of inorganic solids. This site is a subset of the larger Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) for the WWW , and presents a clear, concise description of how extended three-dimensional networks of atoms form many important inorganic materials.

Transition metal and coordination compounds usually form a large part of any course on inorganic chemistry. John Nash’s Web site at Purdue Univesity is a very comprehensive offering on the subject. The free Chemscape Chime plugin is required; Netscape 4.08/4.7x/4.8x works best. Netscape 6 and 7 do not work!

The field of organometallic chemistry is well covered by Rob Toreki’s Organometallic HyperTextBook.

A review of VSEPR Theory can be found at ChemPuter .

Colby College has several good aids:

  • representations of orbitals
  • ways of representing compounds using different types of formula
  • Computational Chemistry using for modeling chemical structures
  • simulation of a Mass Spectrometer

    A valuble source of information about Polymers is available from the Univeristy of Southern Mississippi.

    A description of the process of extraction of bauxite ore can be found at the University of the West Indies.
    A description of the Hall Process for the refining of bauxite ore into aluminum is found at Oberlin College.
    An essay about Fritz Haber and the Haber Process can be found through these links.
