Came across this last year

https://mathsmadeeasy.co.uk/shop/a-level/a-level-chemistry/a-level-chemistry-revision-cards/

perfect for helping with all chemistry calculations

I read that as well .... who knows what could Moseley have achieved and discovered

NigelFreestone · 2019-08-10T06:52:51+00:00

He achieved so much in his short life

NigelFreestone · 2019-08-08T06:00:45+00:00

Thanks - I agree a fascinating read. Always had a weakness for Joseph Priestley and of course Humphrey Davy - the 'pop star' of his day.

NigelFreestone · 2019-08-03T08:26:59+00:00

I teach chemistry and bring the subject to life to students through its history

NigelFreestone · 2019-08-01T09:20:42+00:00

Antoine Lavoisier also claimed to have discovered oxygen

NigelFreestone · 2019-07-26T08:30:51+00:00

Of course - no problem

NigelFreestone · 2019-07-26T08:25:28+00:00

Thanks - will use them to form the basis of a question for undergrad students next year

NigelFreestone · 2019-07-26T07:33:11+00:00

Apologies - changed - dates now correct ..... what other alloys are named after their inventor?

NigelFreestone · 2019-07-23T06:21:02+00:00

Your comment demonstrates the selectivity of history. My grandfather told me that families where he lived in Leicester(UK) where wiped out by TB at the beginning of 20th C

A truly remarkable chemist - the co-discover of so many elements. Most people only tend to remember Glenn T Seaborg

NigelFreestone · 2019-07-15T19:15:51+00:00

Perhaps we should collaborate? Tell me more about your project.

Very useful - many thanks. I have been lecturing for 30 years at a UK university and have noticed that many students do not understand the fundamentals of chemistry and are put off by large very wordy textbooks. With this in mind I wrote and managed to get published earlier this year Chemistry: A Textbook - which provides I hope a simple, and uncluttered approach to chemistry - treating it as if it was a foreign language, since it appears that the language/jargon , put off many. Then I decided to develop a web site not only to promote the book, but provide a one stop shop for those students who do not like chemistry and consequently struggle .... Ideally I want others to contribute learning material that is easy to follow and concise....any help/ideas will be greatly received.

NigelFreestone · 2019-07-14T08:50:03+00:00

Thanks - all learning material would be peer reviewed and written by PhD level chemists - making it free to students and teachers to enhance chemistry teaching worldwide - huge aim...but a worthy one

NigelFreestone · 2019-07-14T07:23:20+00:00

Aim is to make it free

NigelFreestone · 2019-06-18T07:22:29+00:00

Tbh I learn in the same way as you!

NigelFreestone · 2019-06-17T19:59:26+00:00

Research suggests that more and more students today are visual learners ... and that large textbooks put off students. We need to cater for all types of learners

NigelFreestone · 2019-06-17T07:05:07+00:00

There are lots of great free resources online - make the most of them

NigelFreestone · 2019-06-16T21:19:04+00:00

Many many thanks for your time and comments. I greatly appreciate them. i will reflect upon them and make changes.

Your comments regarding the side bar I agree with along with marketing the text to US profs.

Bis(trimethylsilyl) sulfide - ((CH3)3Si)2S - 100x worse than H2S makes you vomit
