Chemistry is typically defined as the science that studies the composition, structure, and transformation of matter. It has been called "the central science" because of the way it is related with all the other sciences. Chemistry bridges the gap between physics and biology; it is a "helper science" in almost many technical disciplines.

International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
The official website of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). The IUPAC serves to advance the worldwide aspects of the chemical sciences and to contribute to the application of chemistry in the service of Mankind. As a scientific, international, non-governmental and objective body, IUPAC can address many global issues involving the chemical sciences.
Reactive Reports Chemistry WebMagazine
Reactive Reports is an informative web-based chemistry magazine hosted by Advanced Chemistry Development. It provides the chemistry community with cutting edge reports of exciting developments in the world of the chemical sciences and related fields.
Royal Society of Chemistry
The RSC is the largest organization in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences. Supported by a worldwide network of members and an international publishing business, our activities span education, conferences, science policy and the promotion of chemistry to the public.
The nonprofit National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) offers an online solvent database called SOLV-DB. Users can choose to browse by eight categories: solvent name, chemical abstracts, sax number, chemical number, chemical formula, property category, matching range, and solvent synonym. Once presented, queries provide a list of physical properties such as specific gravity and boiling point, as well as links to regulatory data, environmental fate data, and health and safety data. The main page contains a how-to link that gives additional user information for this already well - designed and user-friendly resource.
Substance Registry System
Providing information to over 70,000 chemicals and how they are represented in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and data systems this database can be searched by name, chemical abstracts service (CAS) number, or keyword/identifier.
