                    Chemists have developed advanced written notations to convey the structure of molecules.
                    Although the symbolism represents only the connectivity of the atoms, these impoverished
                    representations imply the specific geometry of the molecule.
                
                
                    Representations trains students to relate the notation of the impoverished drawing with
                    the richness of the three dimensional structure of the molecule. Random presentation of
                    a variety of impoverished drawings, typical of textbooks, are compared with
                    three-dimensional models of rotating molecules drawn using advanced lighting and
                    rendering techniques. The models may be correct or may include logical but incorrect
                    interpretations of the drawing. Students identify the accuracy of the model and receive
                    corrective feedback if appropriate.
