An interactive simulation by PhET that allows users to build molecules and understand their structures.
Explore molecule shapes by building molecules in 3D! How does molecule shape change with different numbers of bonds and electron pairs? Find out by adding single, double or triple bonds and lone pairs to the central atom. Then, compare the model to real molecules!
Starting from atoms, see how many molecules you can build. Collect your molecules and view them in 3D!
In this simulator, students can create scenarios involving water molecules, ions, metals, and non-polar molecules. The simulation will then apply appropriate forces allowing students to observe how the particles interact.
Build your own water molecule on the holotable, and see for yourself how the distribution of charge across the molecule isn’t quite equal. Play around with the molecules to work out how this makes them attracted to each other, and unearth how they form hydrogen bonding networks.
This game allows you to bond atoms together to create molecules using 21st Century Lewis Dot Models. You can build molecules from 2 to 16 atoms using carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and chlorine atoms.
In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds. There are a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons, so the water molecule is neutral. The electron cloud model shows that electrons are not shared equally in the water molecule.
