This simulation is from Cal Poly Pomona

This simulation provides practice in building Lewis Dot Structures from atoms and ionic compounds from the component ions. Small screen devices such as tablets and smartphones are not recommended for this simulation.

The Molecular Builder tab contains two different modes:

• In Molecule Builder Mode, you build specific compounds that can be found in nature. After choosing a compound from the drop down menu, you will be given the atoms of that molecule. Your task is to correctly arrange the atoms to form the listed compound.
• In Free Experiment Mode, you choose which atoms you want to bond to create molecules. To choose atoms, click on the atoms in the periodic table; you can move them around the canvas by “drag and drop.” The molecules you can create may not reflect real world molecules or compounds.
