In the ICT age, we use computers for a variety of reasons e.g to surf the internet, write reports, manage database, and solve mathematical problems. Most of the time we will use application softwares to do a given task. There are softwares such as Visual Basic (VB) that can be used to create graphical user interface application programs to solve problems that are of interest to us. This work will demonstrate the use of VB by creating a simple application program known as ChemVB that can be used as a teaching aid in the learning of basic concepts in chemistry. Sample topics included in this application are conversion of units, molecular weight calculator and electrochemistry. This work can be expanded to include other topics in chemistry
