About this model

3D ball-and-stick models of common molecules: rotate, zoom, and inspect geometry and bond patterns.

Who it's for: General chemistry; molecular shape and connectivity.

Key terms

  • molecular geometry
  • ball-and-stick
  • bonds
  • 3D structure

How it works

Explore ball-and-stick models of common molecules. Rotate by dragging, zoom with the scroll wheel, pan with right-drag (or middle mouse). Atom colors follow a CPK-like scheme; bond cylinders show single / double character where modeled (e.g. CO₂, benzene Kekulé).

Key equations

Coordinates are approximate equilibrium geometries for teaching — not spectroscopic accuracy.
