Reference Sources

• The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has an on-line reference book containing spectra, thermodynamic data, and nice searching features. This is an excellent place for looking up infrared, UV/Vis spectra, vibrational and rotational constants in CHM 412. (See also NIST's Molecular Spectra Databases for detailed microwave spectral data.)

• Exact Masses of the Elements and Isotopic Abundances - a quick table from Scientific Instrument Services. You can find these anywhere, but this is an easily accessible, very clear, no frills table.

• A.C. Buehler Library's Technology Information Page - Includes links to Blackboard help, Moddle help, mobile and wireless access to the library website. See also the library' Writing and Citing page for links to citation style information, including ACS.

• American Chemical Society Journals - access is provided through our A. C. Buehler Library. From off campus, you will need to log in to the intranet with your technology account login and password.

Notes and Tutorials

• Wave Animations from Prof. Dan Russell at Kettering University.
• A Physical Chemistry Course at Arizona State University by Dr. Neal Woodbury with excellent interactive notes that follow Aktins. Make sure you check out the on line tutorials like the non-ideal/van der Waals tutorial linked from section 1.5.

• Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics a web site for a course at MIT

• The Page of Entropy by Dr. David Slaven at Saginaw Valley State University

• The Second Law - a site about, unsurprisingly, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, by Professor Frank Lambert, Occidental College

• Visual Quantum Mechanics
