The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements ordered by atomic number so that periodic properties of the elements (chemical periodicity) are made clear.
Resilience is a coping strategy, not a virtue.
Celebrating resilience without interrogating the challenges,
problems, and structural issues folks are routinely forced to confront
runs the risk of idealizing the capacity to suffer.”

OCHeM.com seeks to provide learning resources for students enrolled in Organic Chemistry.
NSF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel. Undergraduate students supported with NSF funds must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions. An REU Site may be at either a US or foreign location.
DOE’s role in workforce development has primarily focused upon the support of undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers through research and development awards at universities and at the DOE national laboratories.
The Goldwater Scholarship Program, one of the oldest and most prestigious national scholarships in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics in the United States, seeks to identify and support college sophomores and juniors who show exceptional promise of becoming this Nation’s next generation of research leaders in these fields.
The characteristics the Foundation seeks in a Goldwater Scholar include:
strong commitment to a research career in the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering,
effective display of intellectual intensity in the sciences, mathematics and engineering, and
potential for a significant future contribution to research in their chosen field.
With a graduate degree in chemistry, scientists may find jobs in laboratories, government agencies, research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, colleges and universities, and more. These are the best chemistry schools. Each school’s score reflects its average rating on a scale from 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding), based on a survey of academics at peer institutions.
Here we’ll show you some real molecules that have unusual, ridiculous or downright silly names.
