Welcome to ChemistryNotesLecture.com! Chemistry Help, through Chemistry Video Notes and pdf Notes for AP Chemistry, High School Chemistry, College Chemistry and General Chemistry Courses, is provided as found on Mr. Griffith's GriffithChem.com school website.  These Chemistry Lecture Notes can be used as a Chemistry Study Guide, since all of the major Chemistry Topics are covered.  Although the Chemistry Notes on this page are arranged for an AP Chemistry or Honors Chemistry Course, they can be used for General College Chemistry Notes.  An additional page has Chemistry Notes arranged for a regular High School Chemistry course.

Chemistry Honors / Chem AP / College General Chemistry Notes are below.

 (For Regular Chemistry Notes click on this link.)

Student Testimonials:

“You have no idea how your PDF files have helped me in learning chemistry. I've repeated Chemistry FIVE times and am still struggling with the materials.  Not until this term, have I finally understood it WELL with the help of your notes. The notes are so wonderful and very well explained.  Your notes are so easy to understand and they are very straight forward!”

“I have fully understood every single concept in the last Chemistry class and I wouldn't be able to do so without the help of your notes!”

"I want to sincerely thank you for your notes.  I feel so safe walking into my Chemistry lectures, because of your notes.  Thank you!"

"I forgot how clear and easy it was to understand your notes, so thank you very much for that!" (from a previous student, now in college)

"Many of my chemistry professors are PHD's and somehow they are not able to explain chemistry at a level that students like me could understand. I used your notes more often than the lecture notes I've gotten from my chemistry classes."

Teacher testimonial:

"I really like your notes. They are a great help and time saver."
