A closer look
What you can do with Molecule Explorer
Molecule Explorer turns the hardest-to-picture parts of chemistry into something students can grab, spin and rebuild — right in the browser.
Build it yourself, or pull it from the library
Construct a molecule atom by atom, or load any of 200+ ready-made structures sorted by category — from water and methane to benzene, amino acids and beyond.
- Atom-by-atom 3D builder
- 200+ molecule library across categories
- Type a formula or name to summon a structure instantly
- Rotate, zoom and inspect every bond
See the chemistry, not just the balls and sticks
Switch on the layers that textbooks can only draw flat — the parts students are expected to imagine.
- VSEPR molecular geometry
- Hybridisation and orbital shapes
- Formal charges and resonance structures
- Bond angles and lengths on demand
Watch reactions happen
Play animated reactions with their energy diagrams, and round it out with a built-in periodic table for quick reference.
- Animated reaction sequences
- Energy / reaction-coordinate diagrams
- Interactive periodic table reference
- Everything runs live in the browser
