This is a collection of flash animations I have created and used in my courses. They cover a range of topics

from all aspects of the chemistry curriculum.

random walk - useful for visualizing motion that can be described as random - allows you to set the number of

steps, see the progress, and monitor the distance moved from the starting point as well as the total distance

traveled

Gaussian and Lorentzian Distributions - use the sliders to compare the two distributions as you vary the

standard deviation

interference - change the phase relationship of two waves and observe the interference of the two waves

improper rotation in methane - shows the S2 element and operation in methane

diatomic molecular orbitals and bond order - drag electrons onto energy level diagrams for homonuclear

diatomics - good practice for bond order determination

Raman spectroscopy - an introduction to the vibrational Raman effect

damped sine wave - exponential damping of a sine wave

precision and accuracy - illustrating the concepts using darts
