MOLECULAR SHAPE AND VSEPR INFORMATION
Very cool rotating 3-D shapes. Even gives the option of buying 3-D glasses to really get a good effect.

Drawing Structures:
I thought this was really amazing tool. You can draw the shapes yourself. I had to play with it a little bit before I understood how to use the program they are using.
