When taking my Chemistry test for teaching, I needed a solid general chemistry text. What I found was an excellent online textbook that you may find helpful. It can be used as an additional resource or a different way of presenting material. The website also has its own link for students. Feel free to check it out. Chemistry Virtual Textbook

Here's a few helpful websites if you're looking for more practice examples or different ways to explain topics:

A final link that every Chemistry teacher should have - a link for Mole Day (10/23). Past years' themes and the current theme, and theme song, are posted here. A couple of facts and jokes are listed - yes, chemists occasionally do have a sense of humor. This day was first officially celebrated in 1991, not 1971.
