Full Text
Atmospheric chemistry covers many topics including the gas laws, chemical reactions, kinetics, and catalysis. The article reviews some of the materials available online for teaching chemistry through exploration of the atmosphere. Included are web sites dealing with ozone depletion caused by chlorofluorocarbons and the green house effect and global warming related to the presence of naturally-occurring and human-made compounds in the air. Also covered are materials dealing with the extraterrestrial chemistry in the atmospheres of other worlds, including Venus with its choking, high-pressure carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid atmosphere and Saturn?s moon Titan, whose dense nitrogen blanket harbors hydrocarbons and other compounds thought necessary for life to develop.
