Not only can you see 3D models, you can manipulate them with your
mouse. As the site says, "The molecules are separated in five
different categories, natural, inorganics, pharmaceuticals,
biomolecules and various molecules." By Vagelis Baboukas, a
postgraduate student at Environmental Chemical Processes Laboratory
(ECPL), division of the Department of Chemistry in University of
Crete.

ChemCom® Teacher Resource Center ('H')
"ChemCom® is a chemistry curriculum written for secondary school
students by the American Chemical Society (ACS). It attempts to
enhance science literacy by emphasizing chemistry's impact on
society. It is aimed at the student who will become a citizen but
not necessarily a scientist in a technological society. Designed for
teachers around the 8 standard units, "this site takes a different
approach to the learning of chemistry. Each of the eight units
revolves around a societal question. This question creates a need to
know chemistry to find a solution."
