Simulation of Nanoparticle and Fullerene

Nano particles Simulation Description Three interactive 3D modes, all orbitable by drag, zoomable by scroll/pinch, with full SEND accessibility. ◆ Nanoparticle (Gold Au) A ~115-atom gold FCC metal crystal cluster rendered with per-instance colouring: bright gold on the outer surface fading to deeper amber in the interior, reflecting that surface atoms are chemically distinct from […]

Simulation of Diamond, Graphite and Graphene structure

Simulation Description Diamond, Graphite & Graphene — Interactive 3D Carbon Allotropes · Giant Covalent Structures This simulation lets students explore all three carbon allotropes in 3D, switching between them to compare bonding, geometry, and electron behaviour directly. Each mode has its own camera angle chosen to reveal the structure’s key feature — diamond at a

Giant Ionic Lattice and ionic bonding Simulation

Giant Ionic Lattice Simulation — Description The simulation shows a 5×4×4 NaCl lattice of 80 ions rendered in 3D using Three.js. Na⁺ ions appear purple and smaller, Cl⁻ ions appear green and larger, reflecting their real relative ionic radii. Yellow lines represent the electrostatic attraction between each Na⁺ and its six adjacent Cl⁻ neighbours. Students

Metallic bonding simulation

Metallic bonding simulation What the simulation shows ⚡ Apply Voltage — electrons visibly drift toward the + terminal; sweeping light pulse reinforces directionality; teaches electrical conductivity 🔨 Apply Force — top two ion layers slide smoothly over the bottom two; a slip plane appears; cross-layer bonds disappear, showing no bond breakage; teaches malleability and ductility

3D Simulation of Intermolecular forces in the states of matter – solid, liquid, gas

Intermolecular Forces Simulation — ClassAdapt What the simulation shows The simulation models how molecules behave at different temperatures by showing the intermolecular forces (IMF) between particles — the attractions that hold substances together. It uses water (H₂O) as the example molecule. The coloured lines between particles represent bond strength: cyan = strong IMF, yellow =
