Description
Starting from atoms, see how many molecules you can build. Collect your molecules and view them in 3D!
Sample Learning Goals
- Describe the difference between an atom and a molecule.
- Build simple molecules from atoms.
- Distinguish between the coefficient and subscript in a chemical formula.
- Construct molecules from the chemical formula.
- Associate common molecule names with multiple representations.
- Experiment with combining atoms to build larger molecules.
