In this interactive activity be amazed with some of the most intriguing molecules made by chemists. These molecules are interlocked molecules, which have topological structures.

This lesson will provide an understanding of the basic chemistry of molecules. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Molecules."

Explore the water molecule, and understand how it is a polar molecule.

This PDF shows many examples of organic molecules and functional groups.

Explore the movement of the molecules in a solid.

Slide the temperature gauge and see what happens to the movement of the molecules.

Check out this chart about the four major groups of organic molecules

Pages at this site use cartoon drawings to explain mirror image molecules.

Explore molecular motion and attraction, and see how those phenomena affect the matter they comprise.

See how temperature changes affect dissolving and the molecular bonds in a water molecule.

Short slide show provides basic information about drawing Lewis dot structures for covalent compounds. Starts with anatomy of the atom, and then shows the relationship between atomic particles and the Periodic Table of Elements. Offers...

This lesson will introduce polar and non-polar molecules, explaining their location, charge, and mass. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Polar and Non polar Molecules."

These models show the structures of some basic molecules such as water and carbon dioxide, then move on to show more complex molecular strautures.

Allianz Tower and Molecule Man (Berlin)

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) method used to get an image of the first molecule -- a pentacene structure -- in Switzerland, 2009.

This is a computer generated 3D image of a carbon monoxide molecule. Carbon monoxide contains one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. It is an odorless gas that is highly toxic to humans.

This diagram shows a 3D computer generated image of the triatomic molecule known as ozone. Ozone is an allotrope that contains three oxygen atoms. The ozone layer found in the upper atmosphere helps protect the Earth against potentially...

This series of images is a combined collection of over three museums' collections of chemistry images. The images are sorted by pages with about nine images per page and twenty-five pages.

An introduction to the structure and function of the energy-rich molecules, carbohydrates.

This lesson demonstrates how to convert from grams to particles (molecules, atoms, ion). It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Converting from Grams to Particles."

Interact with these virtual structures of metal-organic frameworks. These special kinds of crystals are made of organic molecules and metal-containing units, which are linked together by chemical bonds.
