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.
