Useful Links :

You may find the following links helpful in your studies this semester. The standard Internet disclaimer applies though: Just because you see it on your computer screen doesn't means it is right! When in doubt, do more research.

General Chemistry Links from New Mexico State University. A pretty lengthy list of links for General Chemistry students. Check some of them out if you have the time.

WebElements. A nifty electronic Periodic Table that allows you to learn more about each element.

Trends in the Periodic Table: A nice tutorial on the basic trends present in the Periodic Table of the Elements from WW Norton Publishers.

Lewis Structures/VSEPR/Valence Bond Theory Animated tutorials: A nice set of animated tutorials from Mr. Kent's Chemistry pages.

Several Links on Dimensional Analysis:

• "One of these things is not like the other: A review of units" by Kenny Felder at the Raleigh Charter High School. If you go to Mr. Felder's main page, you'll find a lot of interesting material that could help you during the semester. If you are having problems, I suggest you visit these pages.
• From the Texas A&M Department of Chemistry. You will also see some links to review pages covering other mathematical operations. Use them to help knock some of the rust off.
• Fun with Dimensional Analysis! I don't know who made this page, but it seems thorough.

Shrodinger's Equation links at the Hyperphysics site at Georgia Southern University: If you're interested, this link will take you to a nice site that explains Shrodinger's equation at all difficulty levels.

Chemguide page for Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding: A set of pages from Jim Clark's Chemguide pages in the UK with links to discussions on atomic structure and bonding. Definitely worth a look.

Amino Acid Chart: An image from the Wikipedia entry on amino acids. The image is full of details and very informative. Consult this often during the semester. A local copy can be found here.

Practice Worksheets for the first test: From Mr. Guch's Cavalcade of Chemistry, a website of practice pages for 75% of the material on the first test. Do them and rest safe in the knowledge that you will ace the test.

How to study Biochemistry: Three pages of tips on how to study biochemistry. the same tips will be useful for many of your science classes. Read them and apply them!

Carbohydrates: A good page from rsc.org on Carbohydrate Chemistry. Once you've read it, take the quiz on the bottom of the page.

More Carbohydrates: Another good page on carbohydrate chemistry from Michigan State Unversity Chemistry department.

Review of Chemical Kinetics from last Semester: A link to PJ Brucat's CHEM4411 (Physical Chemicstry) course at the University of Florida. Provides a good refresher for basic 0, 1st and 2nd order reactions. Review the page if you have forgotten what was covered last semester.

Links to the movies of Myoglobin from lecture showing hydrophobic and polar residues in the protein.

Michaelis-Menton Kinetics

• A link to a review exercise on Lineweaver-Burk plots from Cheryl Coolidge at Colby-Sawyer College in New Hampshire
• A link to using your TI graphing calculators for enzymology from David Brooks at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.

Using your TI Graphing Calculator

• Many of you have purchased powerful and expensive Texas Instruments graphing calculators, but do you know how to use it? Check this link from mathbits.com and get to know the instrument you've purchased a little bit better.
