Chemistry Self Education I want to learn chemistry. I did not have the benefit of studying it when I was in highschool, and I was always intimidated by it (I feel it's more rote memorization rather than understanding - I'm more of a Physics and Math kinda guy).

Anyway, what are the concepts that I need to learn?

How, and what resources are you going to use to homeschool Chemistry to a teenager?

In that studying it would put the student on par with a normal highschool student.

Some Nice Stuff:

Topics for a Normal Highschool Chemistry Curriculum
and Maybe AP and Honors Program Curriculums?
Comprehensive Textbooks
Exams and Self Testing Resources
You might want to have a look at free online courses, e.g. at Khan Academy. To my opinion, this can however not replace the real experience of endless, often frustrating hours in the lab ;) - chemistry is an experimental science.
