Viewing Chemistry from Microscopic Point of View It is not pure Chemistry.

The Chemical Nature of Atoms A lot more information than what the title covers, including isotopes.

Electronic Structures of Atoms There are more than those. Other topics include ionic bonds, .... The site is not completed yet. So, don't be disappointed if you cann't find what you want.

The Particles of Matter and John Dalton Matter and the law of multiple proportions, or Dalton Law

The Atomic Theory of Matter Also include the explanations of Law of Conservation of Mass,Law of Constant Composition, and Law of Multiple Proportions. There are examples associated with each of them.

Materials Chemistry It is review on materials chemistry, including atomic bonding, electron configuration, and much more information. But it is difficult to be connected. So try hard if you really want to check it out.

What are metals
Metals are generally : solid (except Mercury), hard (except the alkali's), have high melting- and boiling points, opague ("nonseethrough"), lustrous, reflect light, conduct heat, high density, malleable, ductile and strong.
What are non metals
Nonmetals are generally : gases, liquids, low melting of solids (except Carbon as a diamond), transparent ("seethrough"), translucent (lets light through it), dull, absorb light, low density (except diamond), insulator of heat and electricity (except Carbon as graphite and Iodine).
What are semiconductors
Semiconductors : They have the physical properties of metals, and the chemical properties of nonmetals.
