The ACS Education Division has developed a new middle school chemistry resource, "Middle School Chemistry: Big Ideas about the Very Small." This free, six-chapter resource can serve as either a stand-alone chemistry unit or as a supplement to any middle school science curriculum. "Middle School Chemistry" uses a hands-on inquiry approach along with specially designed molecular model animations, to take students from concrete experiences to an understanding of the world of atoms and molecules. Share this free resource with middle school teachers you know.

ould you please help, I would like help with the following,I would like to spray a solution of H2O2 in water, I am hoping that the extra part of oxygen will then attach itself to the chemicals existing in the ground and that should increase the chance of them entering the plants foodchain.Is this possible?Is there another way of safely doing this?Ideally this would be produced as a concentrate and tank mixed with waterBest regardsRich

The combination of potassium permanganate and active manganese dioxide (KMnO4/MnO2) produces a reagent that can be used effectively for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds as shown below.Any idea about the resulting reagent from this combination?Usually KMnO4 is used to oxidize alkenes.Thanks for any help..

I've never heard that at constant pressure in dissolution process -dQ = dH. That makes it clear. Thanks a lot.

This diagram I understood completely, but the diagram for water is different. Can you post a diagram for water like the one for diboron?

Last spring, a few of my students made me an awesome parody video of Rebecca Black's Friday, "It's Lab Day." This semester, nearly half my class turned in lots of great parody videos. Not all of them wanted to be shared publicly, but here are most of the videos my class made me! Sunglasses [...]

Chemical Bonding is one of the most important fundamental topics in O-Level Chemistry (and other equivalent Basic Chemistry syllabus). It is linked to many other topics in Chemistry. However, many students are not aware of it and take them very lightly. Let’s check out a question that was emailed to me by one of the...
