Hello guys! Welcome to the my General Chemistry website.

I hope you will find this site not only helpful to your learning but also that you get excited about the subject, keeping you up to date on assignments, and be provided with valuable online resources.

Outstanding chemistry websites created by my Chemistry Students of Chem 1.1 XB, 2nd Sem SY 2007-08 can now be accessed at the Class Bulletin Board.

Reflections from my students at the Chem Bulletin Board.
