Chemical Information on the Web

The Web is just as varied as are people. There is a lot of chemical information on the Web. There is so much out there that they almost render themselves useless. Facing the abundance of information, we need to develop skills to solve these problems. How can we find useful information? How reliable is the information? What is the purpose of the information? Why is it free? When will the information become irrelevant? Who provides it?

Here are some chemical information that might be of interest to you as the following items are related to the applied chemistry.

Fundamentals of Chemistry

• Global Instructional Chemistry Links to many interesting sites related to chemistry instruction.
• The Electronic Chemistry Library - Electronic Chemistry Library at Imperial College has links to various useful places. It has a package for report generation, www, etc.
• Molecules in Motion: An active chemical exploratorium. You can explore environmental and simple molecules, 21st centurury molecules and imaginative molecules, drugs, molecules of life, polymers and repeating molecules, nobel prize winning molecules.
• MINE Types for Chemistry - developed by Henry Rzepa at Imperial College and Benjamin Whitaker at the Leeds University.
• CS ChemFinderCambridge Soft Corb. (CS) chemistry finder for various compounds. Enter a formula, name, CAS number, molecular formula, or molecular weight and you will be amazed for the information associated with each of the compounds.

Industrial Chemistry

• Thoughts on Problem Solving Dicusses closed-ended problems, open-ended problems, types of problems, and strategies for problem solving.
• Issues in the Environment and ChemistryLectures, issues, and discussions.
• The CCR Teaching Toolkit is a collection of tools to teach the inter-relations between science and engineering, technology and society. Some useful modules are:
• Process Controll by Lynn A. Melton, Univ. Texas/Dallas.
• Industrial case histories lists a few modules from industrial cases.
• Structure and Isomerism of Coordination Compounds
• VSEPR
• Industrial Chemistry ExplorationsThis web site will allow you to test your knowledge of industrial processes and chemistry by providing interactive problems and examples that fall within the realm of the of modern day industrial processes. But the website mission files are NOT available.
• The Chemical Industry Maintained by the National Environmental Information Service about chemical industry. It contains links to US and International chemical associations.
• Chemical Information This overwhelming mountain of links from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden covers just about everything you might want to know about biomedicine, down to the last quark. Sure, you know links like "Molecular Modelling & NMR Spectroscopy" are aimed at the pros, but casual biomedicine fans (you know who you are) will find "Ophthalmology Patient Information" and other friendly links.

Chemical Industries

Chemical Companies: Sites of chemical industries and business such as Dow Chemical, Dupont, AlliedSignal, BASF, Bayer, Carmel Chemicals, etc..

Environmental Chemistry

• Environmental Chemistry at Hofstra University by John R. BcBride.
