New Molecule Shapes: Basics Sim
We’ve added another sim to our Basics series with the new Molecule Shapes: Basics sim designed specifically for our middle-school audience. In this sim, you will explore molecule shapes by building molecules in 3D! Find out how a molecule’s shape changes as you add atoms to a molecule.
Learning goals that Molecule Shapes: Basics addresses include:
- Recognize that molecule shape is due to repulsions between atoms.
- Recognize that bonds are not fixed in place, but can rotate around in response to repulsions.
Excellent! Now add lone pairs as an option!
building molecules in 3D is so cool! thanks
