Chemistry is a science, but it is also used in human communication and interaction, cooking, medicine, engineering, and a host of other disciplines. Although people use chemistry every day with no apparent problem, if the time comes to take a course in chemistry in high school or college, many students are filled with dread.
Chemistry is manageable and even fun.
I've compiled some study tips and resources to make your encounter with chemistry easier. In If you are internet surfing for chemistry information you will need this free plug-in to view most sites. This is a list of all of the molecules discussed and illustrated within this website, plus a few more that just struck my fancy. There is no 'magic formula' here. The same good study techniques will work for most subjects.
