Overview

This software is no longer maintained and has been superseded by the OpenOChem LTI Assessment System.

With this question type the instructor draws valid Lewis structures with all lone pairs and charges for a molecule.  The student is presented with the structure stripped of lone pairs or formal charge, and they must add correct number of lone pairs/radicals or charges to any atoms..  Note:  This plugin requires Marvin Applets from Chemaxon
 
You can ask questions such as;
  • Add the formal charges to any atoms requiring it in the following structure?
  • Show all lone pair or radical electrons required to satisfy the charge on any atoms in the following molecule?

License

This plugin adopts the same license that Moodle does.  The Marvin Applets are free for academic purposes.

Authors

    Carl,

    Many thanks for sharing this plugin with the Moodle community.

    I was successfully able to install the plugin and it appears to function as expected. I am going to go ahead and approve this plugin.

    It is encouraged to follow Moodle's coding style as outlined in:

    http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style
    http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding

    Tthe code checker plugin can be quite helpful in fine tuning your code and can be found at:

    https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=local_codechecker

    p.s. - It seems that it would be helpful to create a set of plugins that are related to the marvin app. Would you mind thinking up the name of that set and a short description?

    I'm still thinking about a name for this set. Would it be OK to include all my question types (not just Marvin based) into a set?

    Lewis structures show every particle and its situation in the structure of the molecule using its chemical Assignment Help symbol. Lines are drawn between molecules that are attached to each other (sets of dabs can be used rather than lines).

    The central atom is typically the atom with the last subscription in the molecular formula and the atom that can method the maximum bonds. If all of the atoms typically form the same quantity of bonds, the smallest electronegative atom is typically the central atom.Dissertation Writing Service
