About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models covalent bonding through dynamic dot and cross diagrams. Learners visualise how electrons from different atoms combine to form shared pairs, exploring electron configuration and molecular structure in an engaging, visual format.

Learning objectives: Understand how covalent bonds form through electron sharing | Represent covalent bonding using dot and cross notation | Identify bonding and non-bonding electron pairs in molecules
