Preview - Introduction To Netlogo: Rusting & Rates Of Reaction

Exploration 2

It can be a bit difficult to see how many atoms are in each rust molecule. The molecule should look like it has oxygen atoms and iron atoms in it. To clearly see how many of each of these atoms are in a rust molecule, you will need to see where the boundary of one molecule ends. 

  1. Set the IRON-BLOCK-GEOMETRY to 9x9 Middle Box

  2. Press the SETUP button

  3. Press the GO/STOP

  4. Press TOGGLE RUST MOLECULE BOUNDARIES

  5. Observe the molecules in the model.You can use the model to help you visualize the boundaries of the rust molecules.

 

Questions
