The Molecular Structure Pages

There are currently 409 molecules and ions available on The Molecular Structure Pages!

Molecular structure pages contain three panels:

• The blue left-hand panel is a menu. Click on the formula of a molecule or ion in the left-hand panel to view information about that molecule or ion. After a molecule or ion has been selected,
• The center panel will display
• the structural formula, a formula that shows which atoms are connected in the molecule or ion,
• the chemical formula for the molecule, and
• a link to a sound file that will pronounce the name of the molecule or ion. The link is identified by a little speaker . Click the link. The sound will play on modern browsers. Older browsers may require a external audio player. When the player appears click the start button, which usually looks like a small triangle. Some external players may automatically play the sound.
• The right hand panel will display a molecular model, a ball and stick model of the molecule or ion which can be modified or rotated and viewed from any direction. Click here for instructions for rotating or modifying a display or click on "Using Jmol" at the top of the menu panel.
