Level+3+Chemistry+Animations

Induced dipole || Quite a good animation of td-td forces and a practical application The second one is different, but worth a look ||
 * Link || Comments ||
 * Electron Configurations || Click your cursor to go through the electron configurations from Hydrogen in s, p, d and f orbitals ||
 * Electron configurations quiz || Practice writing electron configurations in s, p, d, f format ||
 * Electron configuration puns || Use your knowledge of electron configurations to work out these geeky puns ||
 * Bond lengths || A quick visual demonstratation of the definition of a bond length ||
 * Covalent bond || What REALLY happens in a covalent bond - quick animation ||
 * Temporary dipole-temporary dipole interactions
 * Shapes of molecules || The gentle American man takes you through shapes of molecules including the new ones, up to 6 areas of electron density around the central atom ||
 * Mass spectrometry || An overview of the process - only useful when the new curriculum starts (2013) ||
 * Solubility and precipitation || A good reminder of the basic principles of solubility, which we need to understand qualitatively in L2 and now quantitatively in L3 ||
 * Reactions of metal ions || A great animation of the reactions of Cu2+, Ag+, CrO42-, Cr3+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+ and V compounds. This is good for equilibrium, transition metals, redox and for SCHOLARSHIP candidates as an overview. (NB some of this - e.g. the formation of the V complex are above our level - just look at the pretty colours) ||
 * Optical isomers and polarisation || This correspondence school site walks you through optical isomers in a bit more detail including how polarisation workd (like in sunglasses!) ||
 * The molecular workbench || Worth a look with 2D and 3D simulations of many chemistry, physics and biology processes. Needs Java. ||
 * Amphoteric nature of aluminium 3+ || Not examinable anymore, but good reference ||
 * Buffers || How a buffer works to maintain a constant pH (basic definition) ||
 * Titration curves

Titration curves (2) Titration curves (3) Titration curves (4) || Strong acid versus strong base - good graph and explanation of the species at important points Strong acid versus weak base Weak acid versus strong base Weak acid versus strong base - this one is different and I think better || Electrochemical cells(2) Electrochemical cells(3) Electrochemical cells(4) || Virtual cells - good visualisation of what happens (except in the salt bridge?) The third link is interesting as it has the standard hydrogen electrode. The fourth link has close up of the salt bridge ||
 * Acid, base and salt pH || A great little animation particularly good for checking the pH of salts if you are unsure of their pH. Also check the effect of concentration on pH. ||
 * Choice of indicators || Shows where the indicator is useful over (it's pH range) using the indicator equation ||
 * Virtual redox titration || Practice your calculations for AS 3.2 ||
 * Redox practice || Assigning oxidation states, balancing redox equations (in acid and base) and choosing oxidants and reductants ||
 * Electrochemical cells
 * Oxidation states of chlorine || Interesting to see 6 different oxidation states for Cl! Which is more EN - Cl or O? Best for extra/scholarship. ||
 * Organic structures || General questions on structures, names, functional groups and polymers. Easy revision. ||
 * General and organic chemistry || Some of this is quite easy, but it's fun and the section on distillation is relevant ||
 * Chirality || A nice, easy to understand tutorial on chirality and achirality ||
 * Physical properties of alkanes || This demonstration relates intermolecular forces to the physical properties of alkanes. It may give you a better understanding of both ideas. ||
