IMAGE AND SOUND DESCRIPTIONS FOR CHEM4KIDS WEBSITE

Home Page Imagemap

The main imagemap on the home page represents an atom. The Chem4Kids name is in the center and small circles, representing electrons, orbit the center. The circles offer links to the different sections of Chem4Kids.

Andrew Rader Studios Logo

A black and white image of a square brand with the word Rader inside.

RETURN

Web Access Logo

Image of the Web Access symbol. A globe with a keyhole. A symbol that Chem4Kids is trying to make itself accessible to those who surf the net with disabilities.

RETURN

Chem4Kids Logo

A black and white image. The italicized word Chem4Kids is inside two electrons circling. There are trails following the electrons, which create an overall oval shape.

Atom Section Imagemap

This imagemap offers the links to the pages within the Atoms section. The image is in the shape of a large atom, as if drawn by a child. Each electron link to each page.

RETURN

Atomic Diagram

There are a neutron and proton bound together in the center and an electron circling on the outside. Each of the pieces of the atom is represented by a colored sphere. It shows how electrons orbit the nucleus. The image also shows that protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.

RETURN

Electron Spin Example

This image shows that electrons can spin in any direction around the nucleus. There are several examples showing different directions; up, down, sideways, but always in the same distance from the nucleus.

RETURN

Orbit Name Example

This image shows that there are different orbital distances from the nucleus. The closest is labelled "k". They move out and the seventh orbital is labelled "q". The ones in between are labelled respectively.

RETURN

Making Ions

This image shows a neutral Sodium atom splitting into a Sodium Ion and one electron. The resulting ion has a charge of +1 and the electron charge is -1.

RETURN

Electrovalent Bonds

The image shows a representation of an electrovalent bond. One electron is sent from one atom to another. The copy says "Electrons are given up".

RETURN

Covalent Bonds

The image shows a representation of an covalent bond. One electron spins around two separate nuclei. The copy says "Electrons are shared".

RETURN

Naming List

The image shows a chalkboard with the number of atoms, the corresponding prefix, and one example. The first three are: 1-none-chloride, 2-di-dichloride, and 3-tri-trichloride.

RETURN

Molecules with Different Types of Bonds

The image a Sodium Hydroxide molecule (NaOH). There is one box around the Na and O atoms, labelled "Ionic Bond". There is a second box around the O and H atoms, labelled "Covalent Bond". It shows two bonds in one molecule.

RETURN

Atoms with Extra Electrons

One Sodium atom and one Magnesium atom with their orbitals displayed. Each one has extra electron is the outer shell. Sodium has one, Magnesium has two.

RETURN

Atoms Which Need Electrons

One Oxygen atom and one Fluorine atom with their orbitals displayed. Each one needs extra electrons to fill the outer shell. Oxygen need two, Fluorine needs one.

RETURN

Generic Transfer of Electrons

One generic atom with and extra electron. Then a "plus" sign. Then a generic atom which is missing an electron. Then an arrow. Then both electrons together, but each having filled shells.

RETURN

Element Section Imagemap

This imagemap offers the links to the pages within the Elements section. The map is in the shape of a hand drawn periodic table. Only the first three rows are active, corresponding to elements 1 through 18. The other element values are visible, but contain no content.

RETURN

Periodic Table Rows

An image of a complete periodic table with the rows color coded. The rows are called periods, and are related because the elements in each period have the same number of electron shells.

RETURN

Periodic Table Columns

An image of a complete periodic table with the columns color coded. The columns are called groups and are related because each group has the same number of electrons in the outer shell. For example, the first column on the left has one electron in the outer shell.
