Is there any secret ways to google chemical formulas?

[HiME]

Do you just include the keyword, "formula", along the chemical name? Is there any better suggestions for getting chemical formulas? Would it be better if I enter the molecular formula or the actual name? If so, please teach me how to do it

I am already using '+', '-', and "" in my search already.. they don't help much though

here's a great idea: LEARN CHEMISTRY

Yeh I'm sure KFC would love to share the chemical makeup of their secret recipe with you, right down to the radioactive chemicals that make their chicken addictive. NOT.

Typing the name of the substance into wikipedia should give you the chemical structure and formula.

Learning how to research is also a part of learning chemistry, right?

google, +KFC "secret recipe" +chemical -radioactive, should do it

wikipedia turns out to be the 1st result

Anyway, they don't really carry out chemical formulas except for those more common once like combustion..

I use SDBS:

http://www.aist.go.jp/RIODB/SDBS/cgi-bin/cre_index.cgi

My Organic Chem prof showed it to me and he has a phd from UC: Berkeley, must be accurate if he blesses it.

wikipedia generally has a lot of stuff

Thanks, I'll check it out. Might take some time for me to master it..

Teachers generally won't allow me to cite wikipedia, but yeah, lots of different sorts of information.
