ACS On Campus heads to Houston, TX, on April 15, for ACS on Campus: Rice University. Sessions will range from a discussion of what the "Journal of the Future" will look like to a SciFinder Solutions Session demo with our partners at Chemical Abstracts Service.
For a complete list of events and speakers at Rice University, as well as an opportunity to RSVP, visit pubs.acs.org/page/4librarians/acsoc/rice.html. You can also find video, PowerPoint presentations, and other content from previous ACS On Campus events at pubs.acs.org/r/acsoc.
We look forward to seeing you on campus!

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.

Practical knowledge that can be applied in the lab is what sets apart ACS Short Courses from other training. Sign up for our polymer lecture/lab courses and learn everything you need to know about polymers in our Principles and Practice and Adhesives and Composites courses and put what you learn to practice in a laboratory setting. Seats are limited for these courses, so reserve yours now. Other polymer course offerings for 2011 include Polymeric Coatings and Polymer Chemistry. Visit www.ProEd.acs.org for a complete list of affordable education opportunities.

Oxidation state (or oxidation number) doesn't have - especially in compounds - any related property that can be measured. Quite often we just assign oxidation state to central atom to make description easier, but it has nothing to do with reality. So it is perfectly correct to say that MnO4- got reduced to MnO42-.

Hi thereim thinking of convinent methods to measure mass in my lab parce que i dont have a chemical balance.Any ideas?

People often talk about compounds being oxidized or reduced. E.g., nitrite is oxidized to give nitrate. Or NAD+ is reduced to give NADH. But oxidation state applies to specific atoms within compounds, not to compounds as a whole. Is this just sloppy usage? Or are there some rules or heuristics that apply to such statements that make their meaning clear and unambiguous?

Rather than LiAlH4 or NaBH4, why not use NaH?

REDOX reactions are reactions that involves both Reduction & Oxidation simultaneously. There are 4 ways to look at whether a substance has been oxidised or reduced, and they are: 1. Gain/Loss of Oxygen atoms 2. Gain/ Loss of Hydrogen atoms 3. Gain/Loss of Electrons 4. Increase/Decrease in Oxidation States/Numbers Today we will discuss Oxidation /...

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...
