Abstract
Have you ever wondered how everything around you is held together? Well, in this simulation, you will learn the basics of atomic bonding in ionic and covalent compounds and how to distinguish those compounds experimentally. Using this knowledge you’ll help your friend to analyze two mysterious substances he received from an alchemist. By testing various physical properties you will be able to narrow down and eventually identify the substances in question and see if the alchemist is telling the truth.
