Review for:Hydrogenlike OrbitalsIf you used this resource in your own classroom, please add your review. posted: on January 18, 2007 at 11:52AM
My rating of this resource: ***
My experience using this resource: Chemistry
Topic I was teaching: Atomic orbitals
My learning goal for which this resource was used: Show a three dimensional model of atomic orbitals.
Course Level: Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: While discussing the different types of orbitals, I used the website in class to help introduce the number of each orbital, show how the orbitals could fit together, and give them a visual reference to the orbitals.The site was also emailed to students so they could access it at home.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation
Strengths: -Diagrams rotate along the appropriate axis.-Coloring can be confusing but it gives a good three dimensional picture -Gives drawings for difficult shapes to draw.
Weaknesses: -It would be nice if you could overlay the orbitals-Some back tracking to get to the orbital you want to view. |
