From PhET:

Starting from atoms, see how many molecules you can build. Collect your molecules and view them in 3D in our latest sim, Build a Molecule HTML5!

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.
