Dot Structures of Molecules/Polyatomic Ions Menu

The Drag and Drop feature of ToolBook 2004 allows you to drag the atoms across the screen
and drop them into place in real time DHTML without Toolbook's plug-in (Neuron).

If you place an atom in an incorrect place, it will snap back to its original position.

This initial position is random each time you start the program, but placed to the left column of the screen.
Alert: You may need Java Runtime and some security blockers overridden to get this program to work in DHTML.

One atom, usually the central atom, is placed stationary in the middle of the structure and all the atoms will build on to this atom.
