This site is the Student Access Portal of many of the Chemistry Education Digital Library collections! ChemPaths is the Student Portal of the Chemical Education Digital Library (The ChemEd DL), and has been built to assist instructors in providing a means to bring all of these multimedia resources into one cohesive package ready for student-use. Some things you can see while you look around:

To the left are Course Modules which you can use to go over various topics in General Chemistry. If your instructor has sent you here, those are likely where you were told to go. The first tutorial, Wave Tutorial, uses Chemistry Comes Alive! videos to demonstrate wave mechanics. The second tutorial is the Prototype Module From Waves to Orbitals which demonstrates the usage of ChemPaths using many of the various interactive tools which are easily embedded into tutorials. In addition to being a prototype, it is also very useful if you're looking to understand how wave mechanics relates to molecular orbitals!

Across the top you will find links to the Periodic Table Live! (wiki-version) and our General Chemistry Textbook. The General Chemistry Textbook is freely available and you may use it to look up anything! The textbook itself is considered one pathway, albeit a fairly long one! But the navigation is the same as for pathways.

Throughout the site there are options to explore various resources throughout the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) as well as our ChemEd Digital Library. Use these to expand your knowledge and gain perspectives!

Instructors: Please log in in order to access course material and teaching resources. It's free to join our community of educators! There are also additional links to NSDL resources after registering.
