Some Course Specific Web Links

(Also see the Chemistry Links Library under the McGraw-Hill Content button.)

Web sites of general interest.

Periodic Tables (Look up information on elements.)

Interactive Drill Problems (Play with these instead of computer games!)

Powers of 10 (demonstrates range of size dimensions)

Following are some web links associated with the topics of each chapter.

Chapter 1

Significant figures

Chem Team Tutorial (Geared to High School Chemistry)

Math Skills Review (From Texas A&M)

Practice Problems (From George Wiger, CSUDH)

Note the first two pages make an issue about rounding a 5 of to the nearest even number. That only applies to the rare situation when it is 5 exactly, so a number like 2.3654 would be rounded to 2.37 to 3 significant figures.
