Provides short descriptions of computer application in chemistry including displaying organic molecules, solving stoichiometry problems, developing laboratory schedules, programing periodic chart information on pocket calculators, editing chemical manuscripts, instruction in Lewis Structures of simple molecules, a kinetic simulation system, and…

Reviews historical and ongoing links between the chemical industry and art. Covers additional topics concerning the three components of color production and the molecular basis of light modification by colored compounds. (CS)

Applies chemical and physical concepts to origins of color, perception of color, opacity and transparency, and other optical effects. (CS)

Examines the kinds of chemical substances which exhibit color, including conjugated organic compounds, coordination compounds, compounds which transfer charge, and semiconductors. (CS)

Presents questions and answers regarding definitions for and differences between paints, pigments, and dyes; unique properties of diazo dyes; the differences in colorants of water base and oil base paints; and permanance of ink. (CS)

Reviews various aspects of the interaction between secondary and college chemistry teachers at the Third International Conference on Chemical Education. An excerpt is presented as an indicator of the nature and focus of the discussions. (CS)

Demonstrations involving foods that illustrate chemical concepts are described, including vaporization of liquids and Graham's law of diffusion, chemical reaction rates, adsorption, properties of solutions, colloidal dispersions, suspensions, and hydrogen ion concentration. (CS)

The theoretical basis for the calculation of hydration numbers is developed. (BB)

An ebullioscopic apparatus is described in which only the difference between the boiling point of the solution and that of the pure solvent is measured. This substantially reduces the cost of the apparatus and simplifies the operation, while maintaining precision. (BB)

Develops the concept of oscillatory v dissipative limits as it applies to electronic excited state processes in molecular systems. Main emphasis is placed on the radiative and nonradiative dynamics of the excited state of a molecule prepared by interaction with light or some other excitation source. (BT)

This is part III of an explanation of the influence and development of quantum mechanical ideas as applied to inorganic complexes. (Author/SA)

Describes six crystallographic programs which have been developed to illustrate the range of usefulness of programmable calculators in providing computational assistance in chemical analysis. These programs are suitable for the analysis of x-ray diffraction data in the laboratory by students. (HM)

Describes a chemistry program offered at East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. The philosophy underlying this program and its teaching techniques are also included. (HM)

Presents an nmr spectrometer-computer interface experiment in digital acquisition of spectroscopic data, which is intended for students nearing the end of a master's degree in physical chemistry. (HM)
