Electronimoes

Descripción

Think electrons plus dominoes and you have the name Electronimoes. These round playing cards are easy to fit together to "bond" atoms to each other for points and other types of games. Players new to chemistry will learn as they go the names of the first 18 elements and how many other atoms they can bond with. Double bond? Double points! Triple bond? Triple points! Make up your own games, too! See videos at www.electronimoes.com. Players in high school and college will find valuable color representations about the fundamentals of orbitals, bonding, and other deeper concepts in the cards. Imagine a visual guide to how orbitals hybridize - in color! The designer is a scientifically inspired artist with a degree in microbiology and medical illustration, who worked under the guidance and approval of members of the National Academy of Science and the Royal Chemistry Society. There is a website to accompany the product, www.electronimoes.com, where light hearted videos on the difference between an atom and an element can be found, along with board games to introduce these concepts. From the basic, introductory level up to those learning about chemistry in high school and college, the colors and symbols in the cards contain information on bonding as well as orbitals, ionization energy, electronegativity, and other concepts. The more you play and look, the more you see!
