Welcome to our Chemistry Tutorial!

Beginning in late August, 2024, we broke ground on our written Chemistry Tutorial. We have begun writing tutorial pages on various topics in Chemistry. Like our Physics Tutorial, we view this as our textbook. This will be a lengthy project to complete; we hope to complete it by the end of 2025. Our goal is to provide a free, readable chemistry textbook that presents concepts and mathematics of chemistry in an easy-to-understand language. As time progresses, topics will be filled in below. To monitor daily progress, visit our What's New? page.
 

Topics

We have plans to include tutorials for the following topics. Those topics that are linked have content. Those topics that are not linked are planned for a future date.

Chapter 1: Measurements and Calculations in Chemistry

Chemistry is a lab science and a quantitative science. As such, the doing of Chemistry is dependent upon an understanding of how to perform experiments, make careful measurements, and analyze quantitative data. Chapter 1 lays the foundation for success in a Chemistry course.

Chapter 2: Matter

Chemistry is the study of matter - its properties and how it changes. This chapter investigates the manner in which chemists describe matter and how one sample of matter can be distinguished from another sample of matter. The Periodic Table of Elements is introduced.
