American Chemical Society (ACS) Style Guidelines

http://www.lib.unimelb.edu.au/cite/acs/print.pdf is a handy sheet to have when using the numeric system. Remember that if you choose to have numerical in-text citations, you will have the sources in numerical order in the works cited, rather than alphabetical.

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/CHEM/acsstyle.html is an excellent resource, as it discusses how to format the works cited (such as telling you to not leave blank spaces between references), as well as how to cite sources. I highly recommend it, since it gives a basic format for each type of resource, as well as examples - a lot of websites will only give examples.
