Reproduction of a resource page for first year IB Diploma Chemistry students that used to reside on my HTML-only homepage. It contains links to online PowerPoint slides on the topics I covered with my students when I taught them a long time ago. Revamping my homepage also involved removing many of these pages, hence the reproduction for the benefit of those who use them.

How do we count things that cannot be counted directly, such as the number of sand grains in the Sahara desert? And what does that have anything to do with Chemistry?
