You need the Chime Plug-in!

If you are not in a Carleton computer lab, you will need the Chime plug-in for those tutorials so marked. If you can not see a whirling molecule at left, you must click on this button to get the plug-in, and install it on your computer. Click here to do so. You will need to register and accept a license agreement, but the plugin is free.

Atomic Orbitals
Requires Chime
These images allow you to view and manipulate 3-D representations 
of several types of atomic orbitals.   
Lewis Structures
        This tutorial will guide you through the rules for drawing a correct 
Lewis structure for any given compound or ion.  

VSEPR
Requires Chime
You need to know how to predict the shapes of molecules. 
One method is Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR). 
This tutorial will outline the easy steps for predicting shapes via VSEPR. 
Many examples are given, and a short quiz is available.   

 
Hybrid Orbitals
Requires Chime
This tutorial shows how hybrid orbitals of carbon result in 
distinctive molecular geometries.   
Molecular Orbitals
Requires Chime
        This two-part tutorial helps you visualize MOs, understand the 
concept of bonding versus antibonding orbitals, and 
understand the associated energy level diagrams.   
The Solid State
Requires Chime
It is difficult to visualize the spatial arrangements of atoms in a 
solid without the use of 3-D images. 
This tutorial allows you to see the arrangements of atoms 
in a variety of solids and to inspect the unit cells from any angle.   
REDOX Reactions
This tutorial shows you step-by-step how to balance REDOX reactions
