Electronic structure and electron distribution

Times Educational Supplement:

"Odyssey models are compelling: every movement is calculated and rendered on screen. It's mind-blowing cutting-edge stuff."

Odyssey provides a useful bridge between A-level and University study. Getting students on-track faster and improving retention.

Here are some images of Odyssey screens.

Odyssey includes a series of 5 experiments on atomic structure:

Atomic Structure experiment

Illustrates how electrons form around nuclei of various elements.

Introduces atomic orbitals in relation to the "atomic structure" of the atom, i.e., the way the electrons are distributed.

Illustrates how electrons occupy the d subshell (sublevel).

Shows the difference in size between atoms and ions due to the number of electrons orbiting the nuclei.

Describes Isoelectronic ions as ions with the same number of electrons but a different nuclear charge and investigates the reasons behind this.
