Name	Description	Type
All About Atoms	This introductory lesson is mainly visual and has great diagrams of the parts of the atom and subatomic particles.	Images & Explanation
The Particle Adventure	A great interactive look at the structure of the atom. Also examines the experiments behind the knowledge. Many languages	Diagrams & Explanations
Atoms	A nice interactive introduction to the atom and its structure.	Interactive Animation (Shockwave)
Models of the Atom	This lesson examines the Rutherford, Bohr, and cloud models of the atom.	Animations & Explanation
Atomic, molecular and formula masses	This lesson shows the concepts of atomic, molecular and formula masses. Complete with practice quiz questions.	Explanation & Images (javascript)
Protons, neutrons and electrons Drill & Practice	This drill & practice page lets you determine the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in an atom or ion if only given partial information. Bring your periodic table.	Drill & Practice (javascript)
Elements, moles and masses Drill & Practice	This drill & practice page lets you determine the element, number of moles or the mass of an atom if only given partial information. Bring your periodic table.	Drill & Practice (javascript)
The Origin of Light	This lesson examines the role that the atom plays with light and light plays with the atom.	Animations & Explanation (QuickTIme)
Spectroscopy Spectroscopic Table of Elements (Java)	This lesson looks at analyzing the light from atoms as a way of determining energy levels of the electron. Illustrates, the emission and absorption spectra and the role of the Doppler Effect.	Images & Explanation
Electron Orbital Filling	This lets you practice filling the electron orbitals for atoms and ions given to you randomly. Bring your periodic table.	Drill & Practice (javascript)
Atomic Structure Leads to Molecules	This lesson goes from a quick refresher of atomic structure to how it leads to bonds and the formation of molecules.	Interactive Animation (shockwave)
