Collage chemistry websites by far are the best place to go learn chemistry. They have many resources avalible for there students to learn from and best of all you don't have to enroll and can just browse thru and learn at your own pace. I have a few links I will post for ya when I get them organized because they are nice. Its good that they have the basics and the advanced all in once place.


If you find something you don't understand like a word or a term put it into google before reading on to make sure you understand the text completely.

Start with the nomenclature sections until your able to envision the molecular structur from the name alone.

Last but not least never stop learning because I took a 6 year or so hiatus and the information I lost that was once burned into my brain is horrible. its not like ridding a bike and information overload can make you forget quick if your not careful.

See I knew he was worth it!

Once you decide what books you want, go here and pick them up. Or even go have a look around and download any entry level chemistry book you can. Considering how many excellent chem books that are there, it should keep you busy for some time;

 do I know where to start? Should I jump right into organic chemistry? Or normal chemistry? Like I said I have a basic understanding of normal chemistry so should I re-read chemistry text books?

Hmm thats really not as simple question as it sounds really.

I would say learn them both at the same time with more focus on inorganic atfirst. See the thing is organic don't behave the same but the principles that inorganic teach you are the best.

All in all go with inorganic and make a few salts and learn how to purify them. Making very large crystals(I could show you) is just as rewarding as almost anything.

It seems like you don't really need to understand general chemistry to be able to jump into organic as long as you get the major concept such as bond length, strength, stability, and the major structer of atoms and molecules. Now that I re-read what I type maybe it is important to look over all the general chemistry stuff before moving onto organic. It will probably be a little less harsh that way

Im sorry but thsi can't be farther from the truth. Learn basic bondings and shit from inorganic before fucking with organic because you will get some screwed up ideas on how things work if ya don't.

So I'll start re-reading some college chemistry books, and go from there. Once I get that down, I'll move into organic chemistry.

In the meantime, I'll work on other projects of organic chemistry.

Just pick out important topics, skim through, and go back for what you didn't get.  Reading through entire books will get tiring after quite some time.

They will teach you then test you all on the same page brother.

They have entire college classes on YouTube. I also do remember MIT a few years ago saying they were putting all their classes up online. I think you can get by without going to college though. Although labs could be important as far as the classes go it's pretty much just reading and comprehending. I never even attended any of my college science classes since I don't need to sit for 2 hours listening to a professor read from the book (I can read perfectly fine myself thank you very much). Just buy a book and read. At the college I looked at almost all their undergrad courses use the same one book so you can get a whole undergrad knowledge just based on reading and comprehending one of those 1000 page chem books.

then I got caught up in nursing(my primary major) and now I'm busy with that.

The thought of giving old men sponge baths was too much to pass up uh?
