This is a follow up to Practical #16 for the Preliminary Chemists. Here are some web links to some useful pages, starting with the home of all things chemical, the Nuffield A Level Chemistry home page (what Mr. Fisher’s Senior Chemists study back in the homeland). There is a useful plug-in called Chime which you can download (see Molecule of the Month website for help here) – this allows you to view and manipulate molecules on some webpages although many use Java which you probably have within your browser.

The Orbitron (yes really!) This is beyond the scope of Prelim but helps you understand how electron clouds combine to form orbitals.
This link shows some molecules using the Jmol applet. The website shows graphite instead of diamond – an error. You can easily change from space-fill to ball and stick to wireframe views (right click-render-schemes)
That’s good old Buckminster-Fuller at the top of this posting in case you were wondering. He has clearly lost his marbles and probably his Bucky Balls too.
