Learn all about molecular structures in this easy-to-understand, audio book. See how valence electrons determine how atoms bond together, and look at the bonding inside some of the most common molecules around you.

View a 3-D model of olestra, and compare it to a similar structure of a triglyceride. Also see the molecules that make up olestra. All compounds can be manipulated and studied from every angle.

This audio book, narrated by Mark Bishop, describes the formation of covalent bonds. Lewis dot structures help highlight the valence electrons used to determine which bonds form. Also find links to animations and tutorials about other...

Provides a good outline of the concepts involved in ionic and covalent bonding, with links to definition of terms. Features a list of common molecular compounds and a chart that compares ionic and molecular compounds.

This audio book, by author Mark Bishop, describes how to draw geometric sketches of molecular compounds using lewis dot structures. Many examples are given to increase understanding. Also find links to animations and tutorials for other...

This lesson will demonstrate how to use molecular shape to determine if a molecule is polar or nonpolar. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Polarity of Molecular Compounds."

Through this reading, students will learn that a substance's properties arise from its molecular structure, not from how it's made (i.e., synthesized by people or found in nature). There is no fundamental difference between natural and...

In this activity, students construct models of molecules using marshmallows and gum drops.

This project will teach you the basics of analytical chemistry, which is a must for students who want to go into chemistry or materials science. The molecules in objects we see all around us are constantly attracting each other....
