Links you may find useful Electronic CRC Handbook (and TONS of other stuff)- Thanks for pointing this out Craig! You will need your UWO login/password to access the CRC handbook link from the UWO library. WebElements - General info on the elements of the periodic table. Pretty neat pictures too. ISIS Draw etc. - Free software for drawing chemical structures. You might as well get some practie at doing this because you will have to do it in the future! Chemistry Departments - Links to just about every chemistry department you will need. Protasiewicz Group (Case Western Reserve U.) - If you need something chemistry, you will probably find it here. The Orbitron! - Very cool images of A.O.'s and M.O.'s! Point Group Symmetry - Interactive site for looking at point groups and symmetry, with images of molecules that you can rotate! (You won't need this until next term - But don't be afraid to look). Point Group Practice Page (Prof. C. L. B. MacDonald at U. Windsor) - Nice page full of exaples to help you practice assigning point groups. You will need the MDL Chime plug-in. You will also have to register, and unfortunately, you will need to use Explorer or Netscape (Same caveat as above). |
