Beginning Chemistry
If you're looking for some good sites for chemistry, this is a good starting point. From simple explanations to tools to experiments; we have a little bit of everything for the beginning chemistry student.
Chem4Kids
If you're just starting to study Chemistry, this is a nice site to get a simple overview of the subject. Covering the elements, atoms, matter, biochemistry, and types of chemical reactions, Rader does a good job of making the basics clearly understandable.

Advanced Interactive Periodic Table
Download this excellent periodic table from Los Alamos National Laboratory. It will take awhile to download if you're on a dial-up (2.8 mb), but if you're studying chemistry it's a great tool to have!
PDF format - Adobe Acrobat required
Molar Conversions & Atom Buttons
The Molar Conversion interactive conversion tool allows you to convert moles to particles, grams to moles, particles to grams and more. Scroll down the page and you’ll find the Atom Buttons Tool. This specialized periodic table allows you to click on multiple elements and find the molecule’s total atomic mass. Very Cool!
