Memory Metal When a piece of metal wire spelling the letters ICE is pulled apart, it deforms. When the wire is placed in hot water, it "remembers" its original shape, once again forming the letters ICE. (The memory metal used in this demonstration was provided by the Institute for Chemical Eduction.) A simulation of the processes at the atomic level is shown.

The following are graphs of molecular velocities versus the relative number of molecules for argon, chlorine, methane and xenon at 300K. Which graph is for argon?
Empirical Formulas and the Solid State: A ProposalWilliam B. Jensen This brief article calls attention to the failure of most introductory textbooks to point out explicitly the fact that nonmolecular solids do not have molecular formulas and suggests some practical remedies for improving textbook coverage of this subject. The inadequacies of the terms "empirical formula" and "molecular formula" are also discussed, and the terms "relative compositional formula" and "absolute compositional formula" are proposed as more appropriate alternatives. Jensen, William B. J. Chem. Educ.2004, 81, 1772.

Solid State Structures (Abstract of Volume 5D, Number 2)Ludwig A. Mayer Solid State Structures is a collection of image files that allows the user to display, rotate, and examine individually a large collection of 3-D structure models. Mayer, Ludwig A. J. Chem. Educ.1997, 74, 1144.
A Window on the Solid StateWilliam R. Robinson, Laura Yindra, J. David Wright, Kevin J. Carlisle, Scott Luchau, Steve Koralesky, Erik Yusko, David Pieper A Window on the Solid State helps students understand and instructors present the structural features of solids. Parts I and II were published previously by JCE Software (1) and Macintosh versions of Parts I and II are also available (2). Parts I and II have been updated to include improvements in art and minor changes in logic. Parts III and IV expand the collection to include the structures of simple ionic solids using the visual effects available in an interactive computer medium. The package provides a tour of the structures commonly used to introduce features of the solid state.

Solid State Resources, 2nd EditionGeorge C. Lisensky, Arthur B. Ellis, Joey M. Blackwell Solid State Resources helps instructors integrate materials science examples into introductory chemistry courses. It includes the complete Teaching General Chemistry: A Materials Science Companion in pdf, movies, slide shows, overhead masters and the Solid State Model Kit.

Flying Over AtomsJohn R. Markham Flying Over Atoms provides tools for teaching about atoms and solid surfaces in an introductory chemistry course. Flying Over Atoms introduces and stimulates interest in atomic surfaces and current methods for imaging at the atomic scale. Flying over Atoms uses Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) data and the software program Vistapro, published by Rom Tech, Inc. (not provided) to allow students to create QuickTime movies of atomic landscapes.
