room topic changed to Discussion about: Resources for learning Chemistry: This is the official chat for discussions about the Resources thread: chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/37303/… (no tags)

should I link it in the main thread?

and in meta?

Wildcat

I would say, yes.

In addition to the meta link.

pH13

@Loong you are a moderator elsewhere ... you are mighty enough to decide ಠ_ಠ

Wildcat

So, I made a small edit today to Books about Computational Chemistry.

Loong

@pH13 you can add a comment to the main question

Wildcat

19:49

I introduced 3 subcategories: Introductory/Intermediate/Advanced.

pH13

@Loong commenting, that a chat exists from now on forever ever?

Loong

@pH13 we don't know how long the discussions will last

pH13

the timescale was a joke ಠ_ಠ

Loong

hmpf, comments are disabled on locked posts

pH13

but not on the answers? funny

@Wildcat now I saw, what you did there

but we should still move szabo ostlund to theo chem

Wildcat

@pH13, I disagree. :D

Theo chem is too broad.

The will be too many books out there.

pH13

mkay

Wildcat

I suggest we look up branches of chemistry somewhere

else

on the Internet

to decide what goes where

But I don't know what a good place to look would be...

pH13

let's try the internet

shouldn't we be able to build up a tree diagram for the different branches of chemistry?

Wildcat

don't do something if it is already done :D

pH13

my google attempts did not help xD

Wildcat

try harder! :D

pH13

harder better faster stronger

Wildcat

for me theo chem sounds like a synonym for phys chem

the gross structure is

1) Organic.

2) Inorganic.

3) Physical.

4) Bio.

5) Analytical.

That is it I would say.

Quite close to acs.org/content/acs/en/careers/college-to-career/…

except for

they have Polymer chemistry

Outline of chemistry

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to chemistry: Chemistry – science of atomic matter (matter that is composed of chemical elements), especially its chemical reactions, but also including its properties, structure, composition, behavior, and changes as they relate the chemical reactions. Chemistry is centrally concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms, and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. == What type of thing is chemistry?Edit == Chemistry can be described as all of the following: An academic discipline – one with academic...

has just 4

1) Organic.
2) Inorganic.
3) Physical.
4) Analytical.

Bio is included into Organic.

Wrong! Only 3!

pH13

hm :D

who is right

Wildcat

Analytical belongs to Everything Else branch called "Other" XD

pH13

20:26

here at the university, we have the "institute for inorganic and analytical chemistry" ... that's, where it belongs xD

but for me it separate

Wildcat

Sure it is.

pH13

geochemistry is physical chemsitry?

Wildcat

To be honest, I doubt one answer per resource type. As well as one answer per branch.

It won't work. There should be 1 THREAD per resource type/chemistry branch.

There are too much resources.

@pH13, mostly yes. Applied physical chemistry.

pH13

y u no simple, chemistry? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

I opened quite a few chats since I'm on this site ಠ_ಠ

Wildcat

like they do have on Physics

Q: Book recommendations

Every once in a while, we get a question asking for a book or other educational reference on a particular topic at a particular level. This is a meta-question that collects all those links together. If you're looking for book recommendations, this is probably the place to start. All the question...
