The electron configuration builder draws shell diagrams for the first twenty elements and their common ions. Pick the element, choose dots or crosses, and put two species side by side with their periodic table tiles.
A hand-built replica of the real builder page, not a screenshot. Every control shown exists in the product.
Drawing shells on the board is quick, but counting electrons into rings freehand is where the slips creep in. Here every diagram is drawn from the real configuration, so the picture on the board always matches the numbers pupils are given in the exam.
Hide the electrons and the diagram becomes a question, switch either species to its ion to show what changes, and download the finished diagram for a worksheet or use it in questions within Plenary Studio.
Diagnostic multiple choice. Each answer reveals what the class does and doesn't understand.
Click a number and watch it land on a question at random. Built for cold-call questioning.
Automate show, cover, and recall tasks. Great for memorising diagram features or keywords.
Questions beside a visual stimulus. A YouTube clip, diagram, graph, or a paragraph to read closely.
Dot-and-cross diagrams for ionic and covalent bonding, with a stepped build-up, hidden electrons and labels.
Curated, balanced GCSE reaction equations, ready to blank for recall.
Generate chemistry calculations with scaffolded, worked solutions.
Every tool turns a few inputs into a clean, exam-ready diagram.
Practical results tables with repeat readings, a mean and an optional anomaly, plus curated reference data.
Upload any diagram and the labels are suggested for you to drag, edit and blank.
