College Science Bundle: The three college level courses - General Chemistry, General Physics (calculus) and Organic chemistry, bundled together in one package.
High School Science Bundle: The two high school level courses- Introductory Chemistry and General Physics (non- calculus), bundled together into one package. This bundle is very popular with High School and Home School students.
Particles, waves and the key to understanding quantum mechanics
Click to enlarge
The foundations of quantum mechanics (Section 11.3) of the Physical Chemistry textbook, introduces the idea that electrons must be considered as both a particle and as having wave characteristics. This concept is absolutely key to understanding quantum mechanics and yet is sometimes hard to get a handle on.
A hydrogen line spectrum approach to understanding Bohr’s atomic theory

The discovery of atomic structure was the key that unlocked the door to modern understanding of structure and reactivity. Let’s take a moment to review a bit of history before Bohr’s monumental discovery. Continue reading
The ‘aha’ moment with quantum numbers
Illustration from the Physical Chemistry book (click to enlarge)
When learning about quantum numbers for the first time, it can be overwhelming and confusing. However, in all my years of teaching, no other topic so feared at first; has been so rewarding and enjoyed after the “aha” moment passed. Continue reading
Thermodynamics module
Chapters 1 to 6 of Physical Chemistry - Laidler, Meiser, Sanctuary
Includes multimedia that opens on relevant pages and allows the student to visualize many of the concepts by varying parameters and plotting different graphs. Things students often have difficulty with, such as isothermal, isobaric, isochoric and adiabatic process, are clearly visualized.

by Laidler, Meiser, Sanctuary
This popular Physical Chemistry text book is now available in electronic format. We have preserved much of the material of the former hard copy editions, making changes to improve understanding of the concepts in addition to including some of the recent discoveries in physical chemistry. Many chapters have new sections and the coverage of several chapters has been greatly expanded.
