Definitions and extensive concept mapping and cross-linking for commonly used terms, compounds, reactions. This is a great starting point. IUPAC, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, is the global authority on chemical nomenclature.

Edited by John Daintith, this is a very good, standard dictionary.

Terms and common chemicals (often, with a few key properties listed). The definitions are succinct, but not too succinct.

Quotations about chemistry by chemists and famous non-chemists.

Great basic scientific encyclopedia. Generous cross-linking between related (narrower and broader) concepts. Encyclopedic articles are frequently updated (and noted, as such). Biographies for more than 2000 influential scientists.

A good general science encyclopedia with lengthy, in-depth articles. Articles contain glossaries, classified sub-sections and extensive bibliographies.

Wide-ranging background information on research and industrial aspects of topics interesting to chemists and non-chemists, alike. Listed with general science encyclopedias because of its breadth of coverage.

Although arranged and named as an encyclopedia, its depth is almost treatise-like, with lengthy articles and extensive reference lists.

Electronic version of the Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis. Search by reagent name, structure, and/or keywords to find primary data values, brief preparative methods, reactions in which used and key references.

Great breadth of topics. Signed articles with lengthy discussions and key references.

Alphabetical access to articles and key references on elements, chemical groups, concepts, phenomena, chemical laws, biographies of important chemists, etc.

A important, standard work. "A" Volumes (28) are arranged alphabetically and provide information on chemicals, product groups, applications, processes and concepts. The "B" Volumes provide in-depth information on major topics.
