Abelana’s Atom Maker

Abelana’s Atom Maker VR is an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience that allows users to assemble and visualize atoms from the periodic table. It is designed to help users gain an intuitive understanding of atomic structure, electron configurations, and the composition of elements.

Features:

• Assemble atoms from the periodic table: Drag and drop elements from the periodic table to build atoms.
• Visualize atomic orbitals: See the three-dimensional shapes of atomic orbitals.
• Navigate across energy levels: Move between different energy levels to understand how electrons are arranged in atoms.
• Gain an intuitive understanding of atomic structure: Learn about the different parts of an atom, including the nucleus, protons, neutrons, and electrons.
• Explore the composition of elements: Discover how the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons determines the identity of an element.
• Learn about exceptions and special cases: Understand why some elements have unusual properties, such as noble gases or elements with incomplete orbitals.
• Learn about the order of filling of orbitals: Discover how electrons are arranged in orbitals according to the Aufbau principle.
• Learn about the order of filling of electrons across orbitals: Understand how electrons are arranged in orbitals according to the Pauli exclusion principle.
• Learn to read electron configurations using standard notations: Understand how to write and interpret electron configurations.
• Learn about the composition of an atom from an enhanced version of the Bohr diagram: See how the Bohr diagram represents the structure of an atom, including the nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons, and orbitals.
• Discover different ways to group elements within the periodic table: Learn about different classification schemes for elements, such as groups, periods, and metals and nonmetals.
• Learn which countries discovered various elements: Discover the history of element discovery, including which countries and scientists were responsible for identifying different elements.
• Understand the composition of shells (i.e. energy levels) within an element: Learn about the concept of energy shells and how they relate to the arrangement of electrons in atoms.

Benefits:

• Improved understanding of atomic structure: Abelana’s Atom Maker VR can help users gain a deeper understanding of atomic structure, including the different parts of an atom and how they are arranged.
• Enhanced visualization of atomic orbitals: The immersive VR environment allows users to see the three-dimensional shapes of atomic orbitals, which can help them to better understand the concept of orbitals.
• Increased engagement with atomic concepts: The interactive nature of Abelana’s Atom Maker VR can help to increase student engagement with atomic concepts, making them more interesting and memorable.
• Preparation for chemistry exams: Abelana’s Atom Maker VR can be a helpful tool for students preparing for chemistry exams, as it can help them to practice assembling atoms and visualizing atomic structure.

Overall, Abelana’s Atom Maker VR is a valuable educational tool that can help users of all ages gain a better understanding of atomic structure and electron configurations.
