Interactive energy band diagram. Start with: (1) Single atom: discrete energy levels. (2) 2 atoms close together: each level splits into 2 (bonding + antibonding). (3) N atoms: each level splits into N closely-spaced levels = a BAND. Adjustable N (2 to 100) to show bands emerging from levels. Then s
