Using the various reference books discussed in Lectures 4 and 5 or listed on the various Chemistry Guide pages, locate information about the subjects below. For each compound, you must give the CAS Registry Number. What other information you find is optional, but you must locate each compound or concept in at least three of the print sources I discussed in class, plus one Web source for the compounds. Describe clearly and thoroughly the type of information each source provides.

Note that the name I give for the compound may not always be the name the compound is listed under in every source. In some cases, you may need to find the molecular formula or the structure of the compound in order to use a given source -- but remember that some sources will give you the keys you need to search other sources. Concepts have synonyms, too. Be creative!
