Welcome to The Net Equation, your online source for chemistry solutions! The Net Equation is a complete online Chemistry resource, covering many different topics, but we have gone beyond the normal textbook experience with these exclusive features:

• Multimedia presentations are included throughout to liven up the lessons and make difficult concepts easier to understand.
• We provide a question set at the end of each chapter, to make sure you really understand the material. . . great for last-minute studying!
• The Net Equation's extensive "Reference" section makes finding the information you need easier than ever before--from thermodynamic values to vapor pressures to reduction potentials.
• Interact with other users in the Message Board. Post opinions, ask and answer questions, discuss issues in modern chemistry--in short, get to know someone half a world away!
• Interviews with chemistry professionals are included under the "Features" section. Learn about real chemists who apply their knowledge in everyday life, and get a taste of what a career in chemistry can be like from those who have spent years using the science they love.

  And, of course... The textbook experience. While not the first on the internet to offer such services, The Net Equation does boast an extensive textbook-style repository of knowledge covering a variety of subjects. These topics range from simple beginner's information about chemistry to the more complex issues of orbital hybridization and electromagnetic radiation. All subject areas can be reached via their main menu links immediately to the left of this text.

We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to Larry Gulberg, our mentor and coach during this project, and ThinkQuest, for giving us the opportunity to serve others in this fashion and expand our own knowledge of chemistry. This web site would not have been possible without you!
