Molecular Database/Library
Includes their 3-D Virtual Chemistry Library with 150 molecules.

Molecular Universe
"...aims to provide accessible information on molecules and molecular systems. The site contains a range of graphical images relating to recent and not so recent developments in molecular and material sciences. The overall goal is to enhance understanding of the beauty and complexity of matter at the molecular level and to improve awareness of the central role of molecular processes in underpinning life itself and the operation of the world around us. The site includes explanatory text and links to relevant educational, academic and industry sites."

Pictorial Periodic Table - (dead link)
"This website is an interactive periodic table with a comprehensive database of element properties, which can be searched and collated in novel and useful ways. Pictures of elements and compounds are being taken and collected into the database. Periodic table art, music and educational games are available. A huge listing of other periodic tables on the internet is on this website, sorted and annotated. Nuclear chemistry buffs will find information on over 2600 isotopes of the elements. Radioactive decay can be illustrated for most unstable nuclides."
By Chris Heilman

 A general introduction to entropy.
By Frank L. Lambert, Occidental College

Understanding Our Planet Through Chemistry - (dead link)
"This U.S. Geological Survey site shows how chemists and geologists use analytical chemistry to: determine the age of the Earth; show an extraterrestrial body collided with the Earth; predict volcanic eruptions; observe atmospheric change over millions of years; and document damage by acid rain and pollution of the Earth's surface."
Compiled by Joseph E. Taggart, Jr.

University of Oxford - Access to Chemistry

  • Virtual Chemistry
    "The Oxford VR Group is developing a three-dimensional simulated laboratory for the teaching of chemistry. This laboratory will be modelled using virtual reality techniques and it will contain interactive multimedia experiments...Essentially, the student will be able to move around the lab in a web browser window and choose to take part in experiments that are distributed around this virtual lab."

WebElements Periodic Table
Professional Edition
Mark Winter, University of Sheffield

  • Scholar Edition
    "...aims to be a high quality source of information on the WWW about the periodic table for students. You will find many pictures showing element structures and periodic properties. Note that elements 113, 115, and 117 are not known, but are included in the table to show their expected positions. Elements 114, 116, and 118 have only been reported recently."
