Explore how states of matter are related to the strength of intermolecular attractions. The three common physical states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. All matter is made up…
People like to avoid large temperature swings in buildings because it’s more comfortable. The heat capacity of the building is useful in reducing swings, especially in solar houses where the…
…molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome. The tRNA pairs up with the mRNA nucleotide sequence in a specific complementary manner, ensuring the correct amino acid sequence in the protein….
…new particles were not just another type of atom. Explore and compare the behavior of electrons vs. charged atoms when they are shot through an electric field of varying intensity….
Set the amount and type of charge on particles and compare the potential energy of the electric field that is generated.
Explore how the polarity of molecules affects how they mix (or don’t) when combined.
Set the charge of two particles and compare the potential energy of the electric field they generate as the particles are moved around.
Explore how different elements come together to form bonds and compare changes in potential energy and forces.
Compare the surface charges on various molecules and explore which atom types tend to cause uneven sharing of electrons.
Explore a protein and its components using a simplified representation to see structure; or a view of all atoms to see full details.
