Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:
  • Clarify the notion of electronegativity and how electron distribution within a molecule shapes its reactivity.
  • Define and distinguish the roles of nucleophiles, electrophiles, and leaving groups within chemical reactions.
  • Characterize an organic chemical reaction and its step-by-step process using precise terminology and symbols, including lone pairs, curly arrows, reactants, reagents, products, catalysts, intermediates, and transition states.
  • Illustrate reaction mechanisms employing appropriate notations.
  • Elucidate the disparities between the fundamental categories of reactions: addition, elimination, and substitution.
  • Outline the characteristic reactivity patterns associated with primary functional groups.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

  • Access over 300 web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
  • Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
  • Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
  • Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
