Description
Explore molecule shapes by building molecules in 3D! Find out how a molecule's shape changes as you add atoms to a molecule.
Sample Learning Goals
- Recognize that molecule shape is due to repulsions between atoms.
- Recognize that bonds are not fixed in place, but can rotate around in response to repulsions.
