A New "Bottom-Up" Framework for Teaching Chemical BondingTami Levy Nahum, Rachel Mamlok-Naaman, Avi Hofstein, and Leeor Kronik This article presents a general framework for bonding that can be presented at different levels of sophistication depending on the student's level and needs. The pedagogical strategy for teaching this model is a "bottom-up" one, starting with basic principles and ending with specific properties. Levy Nahum, Tami; Mamlok-Naaman, Rachel; Hofstein, Avi; Kronik, Leeor. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1680.

Liebig–Wöhler Controversy and the Concept of IsomerismSoledad Esteban The conflict between Liebig and Whler regarding their analyses of fulminates and cyanates marked the beginning of a long friendship between the two, led Berzelius to recognize the phenomenon of isomerism, and can provide interesting anecdotal material to increase interest in lectures.

Lewis Structure Representation of Free Radicals Similar to ClOWarren Hirsch and Mark Kobrak An unconventional Lewis structure is proposed to explain the properties of the free radical ClO and a series of its isoelectronic analogues, particularly trends in the spin density of these species. Hirsch, Warren; Kobrak, Mark. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1360.
