In this activity, students construct models of molecules using marshmallows and gum drops.

It's hard enough to weigh something as itty bitty as atoms or molecules. Factor in that they're careening by faster than Jeff Gordon on steroids, and you get an idea what scientists are up against. Using comet particles from NASA's...

College-level site goes into great detail about chemical bonding properties, as far as energies, structure, angles, and length. Infrared absorption, the greenhouse effect, and global warming are addressed to exemplify bond length...

Learn how to calculate the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, describe the relationship between the temperature of a gas and the kinetic energy of atoms and molecule, and describe the distribution of speeds of molecules in a gas. The...

Advanced chapter of the book "The Molecular Biology of the Cell" describes and provides illustrations of our most current understanding of the chemical makeup of cells and their components. Explains in detail how electron activity keeps...

An explanation of how photoelectron spectroscopy can be used to detect electron structures in atoms or molecules.

Study chemical bonding in chemistry including atoms, valence electrons, ionic and covalent bonding, and how molecules are formed on this site!

By the end of this section, you will be able to express the ideal gas law in terms of molecular mass and velocity; define thermal energy; calculate the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, given its temperature; describe the relationship...

An introduction to the mole, a unit of measurement that quantifies atoms and molecules.

We gain a better understanding of pressure and temperature from the kinetic theory of gases, which assumes that atoms and molecules are in continuous random motion. Learn more about Kinetic Theory with the following detailed resource...

In this activity, students will play the roles of various atoms and molecules to help them better understand how ozone is formed in the earth's stratosphere.

Learn interesting facts about nitrogen oxides, gases whose molecules are made of nitrogen and oxygen atoms and contribute to air pollution.

This is a brief biography on the life and scientific work of Otto Stern, a physicist honored with the Nobel Prize in physics for his "development of the molecular ray method and his discovery of the magnetic moment of the proton."

Students will learn how complete and incomplete combustion is different and also how the products affect us.
