In chemistry, many reactions are violent or can cause various health risks. For safety reasons these reactions may be represented in video format only (sorry alkali metal family!) Additionally, viewing reactions at a particle level is impossible; the following simulators may be used in class (and hopefully out of class) to enable the students to better understand reactions they see at a macroscopic scale at the atomic scale.
