Chemicals on the web - Cubane.

Computer simulated molecules are a great way to learn Chemistry.  When I found out about Cubane C8H8 I thought it was time to review how to "Surf" the web and see new molecules.


There are a number of great web rendering of  molecules: 

1. JMOL  
How?  Search your molecule on Google + "JMOL"
Good things - any browser, any molecule
Bad - can bend bonds


2. CHIME
How? 1. Download Chime plugin,  send in info to publisher
then search Chime + Molecule.
Good things: Can "Scupt" molecules and get a real feel for them
Bad things: you can only show your class on your data projector/ IWB

3. CanvasMOL
How? Just follow this link
Good things: Fast and molcule focused.

Cubane!
