About the collection
Made for curious chemistry students and teachers.
chemmybear.com originally brought together handouts organized by chapter, tutorials on topics ranging from atomic structure to buffers, experiment notes, molecular graphics and links to other educational sites. This one-page restoration keeps those recovered descriptions together in an easy-to-browse directory.
The page is organized by the kinds of materials it originally featured, with the same resource names and descriptions. External sites are linked where the original page provided them.

Important resource note
What was—and wasn't—recovered
The recovered source was a homepage, not a full website backup. Some items originally opened separate pages such as shapes.html, standing.html or PDF study sheets. Their descriptions are included above, but the missing destinations have not been recreated or represented as live files.
The external educational links retain their original destinations. Their current availability has not been verified.
