A dictionary of exceptional quality - I've found it very useful while reading through my A-level chem textbooks to explain some of the terms I come across quickly and concisely. Absolutley marvellous!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Contains too many mistakes, 15 Dec 2008
By Mr. Allan Crossman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's hard to review a dictionary since you never read anything like all of it. But in my short time using this, I've already come across too many mistakes.

Examples: the entry on "orbitals" tells us that ethyne uses sp2 orbitals - when in fact it uses sp orbitals. This entry also has a diagram showing ethene using sp3 orbitals, which is also wrong.

Or the entry on "monosacchararides" - this contains diagrams of fructose in open and ring formation, yet in ring formation their diagram contains one more oxygen! I've checked with a proper textbook, and this dictionary has simply added an -OH group where no -OH group should be.
