The visualization provides students with a good idea of relative orbital sizes and shapes up through the d orbitals. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=294519 This web site contains instructions on how to use the VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) model to predict the shapes of molecules and many examples rendered using the open source java applet Jmol so that the students can manipulate them.
