The WebWare molecules of the month for June are from two articles in this issue.
The article, “Cement: Its Chemistry and Properties”, featured on the cover, dicusses the constituents of cement. Silica is one of the main components of cement, and the most common form of pure silica (SO2) is α-quartz.
In “Bromination and Debromination of Cholesterol: An Inquiry-Based Lab Involving Structure Elucidation, Reaction Mechanism, and 1H NMR”, Grant and Latimer describe an experiment suitable for upper-level organic chemistry students.

In addition to the static image, two fully manipulable
versions (Jmol, MDLChime)
of these molecules appear below. (The Jmol versions
may take a few extra seconds to load, based on
the speed of your Internet connection.)
