Supplementary Material

      To view the figures on these pages you must first install the program Chime® from MDL (Molecular Design Limited).  This program will allow you to see and manipulate computer generated images of molecules presented in the following links.  You will have to register with MDL, then can down load the Chime program (from a pulldown list).  Close your browser, double click the icon and the software will install itself.  This software will allow you to view and move the molecules.  Placing the cursor over the molecule and holding the left button down and moving will turn the molecule.  Holding the left button down with the shift key and dragging will resize the molecule.  Right clicking over the molecule generate a pull down menu to change the appearance of the molecule.

Interesting Links

      Dr. Larson's Chemistry 212 Homepage has a series of links to additional problems with answers that you can use for additional practice.

      WebElements is website devoted to the periodic table.  It provides information about the physical properties, history, and reactivity of all of the elements.  In some cases, there are movies for downloading that show aspects of the reactivity of the element or one of its compounds.  The site also contains interesting chemistry trivia (e.g. the origin of the names of elements).  Finally, there are some excellent graphics for comparing the physical properties of all elements collectively.  You might find this site of value when studying Chapter 22.
