LARN 006 C2D2

LARN 006 C2D2 Doing ChemThink interactives are part of the core experiences for all chemistry students.  The objective of working through the Particulate Nature of Matter assignment are to: Be able to distinguish diagrams of elements, compounds, and mixtures of elements and compounds in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of matter and to identify molecules that are composed of atoms of nonmetallic elements that are bound together as a small cluster that move as a unit. In the ChemThink diagrams a single atom of a particular element will be symbolized by a circle of a certain color and atoms that are joined together as a solid or as a molecule composed of atoms of nonmetallic elements that are bound together as a small cluster that move as a unit are shown as touching.
