Abstract:

In order to circumvent the difficulty in learning the micro-structure theory in inorganic chemistry, a series of interactive teaching activities via Orbital Viewer have been introduced. The implementation of interactive teaching activities in atomic orbitals and covalent bond can effectively enhance students' learning enthusiasm and motivation, enable students to establish reasonable micro-structure models and master the real model of different atomic orbitals and covalent bonds, and effectively stimulate students' learning enthusiasm, lay the foundation for further study of hybrid orbitals and molecular orbital theories.

Key words: Atomic orbital, Covalent bond, Interactive classroom, Orbital Viewer
