Interactive Demo
Hybridization & Geometry Explorer
Hybridization & Geometry Explorer is a free, interactive learning demo from the Organic Chemistry: Structure, Reactivity, and the Functional Group Approach course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Molecular Structure, Chemical Bonding, Reaction Mechanisms. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 3 buttons and direct drag interaction. This demo lives in the “Organic Structure and Reactivity” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Click and drag directly on the canvas to manipulate the scene.
- Use the “sp³”, “sp²”, “sp” buttons to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Molecular Structure
- Chemical Bonding
- Reaction Mechanisms
Frequently asked questions
What does the Hybridization & Geometry Explorer demo do?
Hybridization & Geometry Explorer sp³ sp² sp Drag to rotate Hybrid Orbital Unhybridized p-orbital Showing sp³ hybridization: Four equivalent orbitals arranged tetrahedrally to minimize electron repulsion. Hybridization & Geometry Explorer lets you explore this hands-on instead of only reading about it.
What Organic Chemistry: Structure, Reactivity, and the Functional Group Approach concept does Hybridization & Geometry Explorer teach?
Foundational concepts regarding how organic molecules are built and how they interact. It focuses on Molecular Structure, Chemical Bonding, Reaction Mechanisms from the “Organic Structure and Reactivity” section.
What can I control in Hybridization & Geometry Explorer?
You can drag elements directly on the canvas; the “sp³”, “sp²”, “sp” buttons run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Hybridization & Geometry Explorer fit into the Organic Chemistry: Structure, Reactivity, and the Functional Group Approach course?
This course explores the comprehensive 'Organic Chemistry: A Tenth Edition' by John McMurry, provided through OpenStax. It utilizes a functional group approach to simplify the study of organic molecules, making it suita… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Organic Structure and Reactivity” section.

What will I understand better after using Hybridization & Geometry Explorer?
You'll build intuition for Molecular Structure, Chemical Bonding, Reaction Mechanisms — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Organic Chemistry: Structure, Reactivity, and the Functional Group Approach alone.
