  • (Many chemical reactions are known by the names of the scientists who discovered the reactions. Named Reactions in Organic Chemistry and Reaction Index: Name Reactions in Organic Chemistry are lists of such reactions in organic chemistry.)
  • NIST Chemistry Web Book – http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/ (NIST Chemistry Web Book is a database provides thermochemical, thermo physical, and ion energetics data compiled by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Standard Reference Data Program. )
  • American Institute of Chemical Engineers – http://www.aiche.org/ (This is the official Website of American Institute of Chemical Engineers.)
  • Web Elements – http://www.webelements.com/ (Web Elements is the periodical table on the web. The periodic table of the chemical elements is an arrangement of the elements ordered by atomic number in columns (groups) and rows (periods) so as to emphasize their periodic properties.  Every element on the table is a link to the properties of that particular element.)
