Introduction

     All aspects of chemistry rely on a sound grasp of the fundamentals of atomic structure, periodic properties and bonding. Future units, chemistry courses and other science courses will assume that you have a clear and concise understanding of these areas.

I have included a list of major concepts, some detail you should be familiar with and some links to numerous sites which will allow you to view, download or print material which is directly related to these concepts. In addition there may be some material which is of interest to you (hey you never know!).

The links will assist you if you run into any difficulties and have specific questions.
