Any good p chem/quantum chem pages? I can't find anything on normalizing pi MO wavefunctions in Huckel formalism. Or anything particularly idiot proof. I get that quantum is difficult in itself, but fuck's sake. Assume I know nothing.

10th grade:
>1st day of chem class
>teacher wants to show off chemical reaction
>drops a penny in 12 molar nitric acid
>suddenly Nitrogen Dioxide
>Nitrogen Dioxide everywhere
>evacuate half the school

O chem 1 lab:
>Running a reflux setup
>supposed to boil mixture then condense with condenser
>forget to add boiling chips
>add boiling chips to hot solution
>Volcano
>Hide it from TA

Research position in Chem E department
>making a benzene ring with 2 ether groups on it
>run the reaction lean in bromonated hydrocarbon to make separation easy
>run reaction, show professor results
>professor says to double the amount of the hydrocarbon so that all the product has 2 ether groups
>add the hydrocarbon
>professor says to leave it in lab on stir/hot plate at 65C
>go off to other class
>Next day
>oh your flask exploded
>no one was watching it

Story from my research professor
>Head of the chem E department
>running experiment
>needed to dissolve some PETE in a fluorinated oil(no vapor pressure)
>adds the PETE to the oil
>heat up oil
>PETE dissolves
>suddenly HF, HF in da hood
>catalyst in PETE production stays in PETE and causes fluorinated oils to decompose.
