Sometimes people struggle to understand science because it is hard to visualize. In Chemistry isn&#8217;t different. Molecules and chemical bonds aren&#8217;t easy to understand and visualize. So, you can use visual resources as scientific illustrations of a chemical structure to explain these topics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/app\/illustrations\">Scientific illustrations<\/a> are a powerful tool to communicate better in science. Using illustrations you can create graphical abstracts, posters, presentations, book or magazines covers and anything you can imagine.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Using Mind the Graph illustrations to explain a chemical structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Mind the Graph we have illustrations that show the chemical structure of molecules. Then, you can combine them to show bonds and interaction between molecules. Our illustrations have a pattern, so you can combine them in an attractive way. Also, each atom has a specific color, so the oxygen is always red, the nitrogen is blue, the calcium is green and so on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We have over eight thousands of scientific illustrations and hundreds of them are of chemical structures. Take a look in some of them:<a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9132\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chemical-structure.png\" alt=\"chemical structure\" width=\"1190\" height=\"1684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chemical-structure.png 1190w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chemical-structure-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chemical-structure-768x1087.png 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/chemical-structure-724x1024.png 724w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1190px) 100vw, 1190px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can combine these illustrations with other ones to create your graphical abstract, take a look at this example of ocean acidification created at Mind the Graph:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9134\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ocean-acidification-1024x781.png\" alt=\"ocean acidification\" width=\"640\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ocean-acidification-1024x781.png 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ocean-acidification-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ocean-acidification-768x586.png 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/ocean-acidification.png 1610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to use these illustrations or see the other ones, join us!
