Reproduction of a resource page for first year IB Diploma Chemistry students that used to reside on my HTML-only homepage. It contains links to online PowerPoint slides on the topics I covered with my students when I taught them a long time ago. Revamping my homepage also involved removing many of these pages, hence the reproduction for the benefit of those who use them.
