Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, has launched a new free resource called Web-based Common Chemistry (TM). This resource is helpful to other people and no chemicals that could release a chemical name or CAS Registry Number (R) of a chemical common to compare both daily and pieces of
information.
Common Chemistry contains some 7,800 chemicals for use on a large scale and great interest, in addition to 118 elements of the periodic table. With the exception of some elements, the remaining substances in this collection have been estimated as of the scale have been cited over 1,000 times in the CAS databases. Common examples of substances in Chemistry include more recognizable, such as caffeine, benzoyl peroxide (acne treatment) and sodium chloride.
"Anyone can easily find the CAS Registry Number or chemical name and confirm the details of the substance, the CAS registry numbers, chemical names and synonyms, molecular formula, chemical structure and reciprocal link to Wikipedia when available," said Christine McCue, CAS Vice President of Marketing. "Visitors will be able to mark your page as preferred using the tools of social media like Digg and Delicious."
CAS, wants to show their appreciation to the volunteers of Wikipedia, especially Professor Martin Walter of SUNY Potsdam, who has worked with CAS to provide the links to records of Wikipedia (when they become available). The database of Common Chemistry is updated on a regular basis, and links to Wikipedia will be added when possible.
