Prices on average range from $50-150 per title: Bonding in Metals Bonding between Molecules Bonding in Molecules Ionic Bonding Molecular Geometry and Bonding Theories http://forums.jce.divched.org:8000/JCE/DigiDemos "DigiDemos" is the Web-based version of the Journal of Chemical Education's Tested Demonstration feature, and part of NSDL. Most of the demonstrations that appear in the Journal will simultaneously appear here, and previous demonstrations, including most from the Gilbert/Alyea collection, will be added gradually. Bonding and Molecular Structure: Fundamental Concepts Bonding and Molecular Structure: Orbital Hybridization and Molecular Orbitals http://wiki.chemeddl.org/index.php/Collections:Molecules_360A collection of simple molecules well suited for educational purposes. So often, molecular models obtained from research-oriented data sources do not exhibit bond order, symmetry, or other properties in a manner suitable for showing a chemistry education concept. The molecular models in this collection have been computed to exhibit such properties. The models in this collection are visualized using Jmol.
