    So I've returned to college and I've jumped into the deep end and I'm finding my Inorganic Chemistry module very tough, namely due to the fact I've forgotten the basics of chemisty. :o

    Just wondering if there are any good sources anyone knows of to help get me up to speed. I've gotten a book that's helping and I'll get a few grinds in the coming weeks too but I can't afford that right at this minute.

    Youtube.

    I've seen some good short video lectures on basic chemistry. There's a woman, I can't remember her name or youtube channel - but she does a good introduction to chemistry - something like four 9 minute videos, very condensed. She goes through the different bonds, explains a lot, then does balancing equations etc.

    I think the short videos are the best - because someone has gone to the bother of condensing the material. 45 minute videos tend to contain a lot of hand waving, and the key points can get completely lost.

    Inorganic Chemistry by Shriver and Atkins is a terrific book

    The Oxford chemistry primers are excellent, they are short and cover individual areas really well, I'd pick one up for anything you are finding hard to understand.
