Elements of Curriculum Reform: Putting Solids in the Foundation. 1997 George C. Pimentel Award
Abstract
Until recently, solids were a relatively small part of the chemistry curriculum. Helping to close this particular gap between the research and educational enterprises was the objective of the Ad Hoc Committee for Solid-State Instructional Materials, formed in 1990.

Demonstrating Void Space in Solids: A Simple Demonstration To Challenge a Powerful Misconception
Mary Whitfield , Ed VitzJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (5), 749Demonstrating Void Space in Solids: A Simple Demonstration To Challenge a Powerful Misconception
Mary Whitfield , Ed VitzJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (5), 749The concept of bridging analogies is used in a simple demonstration to illustrate the substantial quantity of empty space that remains when solid spheres are packed together. The same demonstration also shows that the percentage of empty space is ...
