Chemistry Resources on the Internet

    Chemistry, as the American Chemical Society is wont to say, is the central  science; central enough that many important resources in chemical  information are among the most valuable -- and most costly -- in  scientific information.  Yet a significant number of resources highly  useful to chemists are available free of charge on the Internet. Following  are lists of some of the most useful, with commentary where appropriate.

http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Constants/index.html?/codata86.html 
  This list, provided by the National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) gives values for about 100 of the major physical constants.        


	{SI Units, Fundamental Constants and Conversion   Factors}
gopher://wiretap.spies.com:70/00/Library/Document/si.tbl
  This list gives the fundamental and derived SI units, a list of the  standard unit prefixes (e.g. milli-, kilo-) and selected physical  constants and English unit/SI conversion factors.        


	
The Laws  List
http://www.alcyone.com/max/physics/laws/index.html
  This collection of laws, rules and constants in physics, compiled by Erik  Max Francis, includes a number of interest in physical chemistry, e.g. the  gas laws, Rydberg formula, etc.        


	{WebElements }
http://www.webelements.com/ 
  WebElements is a hypertext-linked collection of property data on the first  112 elements including (where available): general, chemical, physical,  nuclear, electronic, biological, geological, crystallographic, reduction  potential, isotopic abundances, electronic configurations, ionization  enthalpy data and additional textual information, especially on  the history of the elements.        


	{Table Of The Nuclides}
http://necs01.dne.bnl.gov/CoN/nuchart1.html  
  The Table of the Nuclides first presents a map of all known nuclides. Each  horizontal row represents one element;  colored dots indicate the known  isotopes of that element. A vertical column represents the nuclides with  same neutron numbers. By clicking on a region of the chart, you may see a  more detailed chart section. From the colors on the chart, you can get an  idea of the life time of a nuclide.  By clicking on a cell, you can get  properties of the nuclide or atom.
