Chemistry Help 

http://www.chemistrycoach.com/high.htm
High School Chemistry Resources on the Web 500 links for high school chemistry.  It has links for chemistry of food, homework help, periodic table, science education, constants& equations, tutorials, science help on the net, lecture notes for things like chem. 101 and others for specific universities/colleges, science publications and news, science search engines, science museums, discoveries & inventions, humor, organizations, standardized tests, contests, molecular modeling, projects, and simulations.

http://schmidel.com/hub/chem.htm
Quality index of sites covering all aspects of high school chemistry (such as labs, references, and interactive molecular structures), but will prove especially helpful in doing homework or studying or looking for some funny diversions.

http://www.101science.com/Chemistry.htm
This site defines different types of chemistry, offers tutorials, recommends books to read in order to learn more about chemistry and its many topics.

http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/irp/chem1112/ch1111.htm
Balanced equations to mole ratio.

http://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/notes/quantrev/quantrev.html
Gives a basic and complicated explanation of quantum mechanics complete with formulas, practice problems and solutions.

http://www.chemtutor.com/  
This site seems very user-friendly, without a lot of complicated explanations and graphics to confuse a student on how to find what he or she is looking for. As this says, this is designed to be a supplement for any chemistry course, not a course in itself. It seems very easy to access information by topics.

http://www.chem.vt.edu/chem-ed/vt-chem-ed.html  
The chemistry hypermedia project. Contains tutorials for various chemistry topics, ranging from general to analytical chemistry.

http://www.dist214.k12.il.us/users/asanders/chemhome2.html  
A compilation of chemistry resources available.
