    WebBook is a collection of chemical databases, including IR and MS data. These databases are provided by National Institute of Standards and Technology.

    This is a link to information on the Periodic Table .

    A review of the VSEPR Theory can be found at ChemPuter. ChemPuter will also calculate the Oxidation State of a d-block metal and Electron-Count in a coordination compound.

    ChemPuter also has a section dealing with Isotopic Patterns such as produced by mass spectrometers.
