[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The following online tutorial describes how the electronegativity difference between two atoms in a covalent bond results in the formation of a nonpolar covalent,...

This general tutorial begins with an explanation of the polarity of the water molecule and the effects this polarity has on the properties of water. Goes on to introduce organic molecules and has a thourough tutorial on the third page.

Complete this interactive tutorial and learn about interpreting the infrared spectrum ("I" "R") that provides information about the functional groups in a molecule. Included are 12 labs and a quiz.

A covalent bond is formed between non metal atoms, which combine together by sharing electrons. Covalent compounds have no free electrons and no ions so they don't conduct electricity.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will be introduced to some of the basic concepts of chemistry.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Defines molecular formula and describes how to write molecular formulas.

This lesson will present a basic understanding of the periodic chart of elements and how to predict chemical reactions based on given information. It is 4 of 9 in the series titled "Chemical Reactions."

Through informational text, interactive activities, animations, and video clips, students examine the chemistry of living things, and they learn how interactions from atoms are fundamental to life as we know it.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses elements, atoms, compounds, molecules, and crystals. Looks at mixture and different types of them.
