Physical Property Sources

Look up Chemical Abstracts journal abbreviations.

Physical property and toxicological data for over 721,000 chemicals. From the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

A good place to start, particularily if looking for basic physical data such as boiling and melting points, densities, refractive indexes and solubilities for your labs. Also includes data on thermodynamics, fluid properties, biochemistry, spectroscopy, atomic and nuclear physics, and polymers. From Arizona State University.

Contains an enormous amount of critical data on inorganic and organic compounds, and pure substances. Featuring physical, thermodynamic, mechanical, and other key properties. It is a major reference source used by those involved in chemistry, physics, and engineering.

MolData is an annotated bibliography with links to sources of chemical data on the World Wide Web. From the Chemistry Department of Pomona College.

Index to broad subject areas and an A-Z list.

The NIST Chemistry WebBook is a website (http://webbook.nist.gov/) that provides convenient access to a variety of physical and chemical property data.

Data in the WebBook system are organized by chemical species. The WebBook system allows users to search for chemical species by various means. Once the desired species has been identified, the system will display data for the species.

Citing data from NIST.

This list from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a guide to many free, specialized databases, such as spectra, solubility, physical, thermodynamic data, kinetics, and other specialized and advanced databases.

IUPAC is responsible for standardizing chemical nomenclature. IUPAC is the acronym for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

Chemical company website valuable for locating CAS Registry Numbers, formulas, atomic weights, and MSDS.

Open Library scanned text. Also in 2North Reference QC 61 .S6 1964

Index to selected handbooks for locating thermochemical and thermophysical data for chemical compounds and other substances. Check our OneSearch catalog to determine if we own a particular book.

Use the Web of Science database to search the Science Citation Index, 1999-present, for authors and subjects published in over 6000 scholarly science journals and view links to citing documents.
