abstract
This paper is based on a literature review and subsequent analysis of found publications published in the years 2000–2020 which showed an increasing trend in the use of mobile applications in science teaching and the current issues of using mobile applications as a support tool for science teaching. One of the main reasons for the use of mobile applications in science teaching is the modernization of teaching methods, to expand knowledge, to evaluate and test knowledge, to engage students and so on. Based on these conclusions, a search was made of available mobile applications that can be used to support the teaching of chemistry on the Google Play, Microsoft Store, and App Store platforms and their didactic analysis focused on their content and interactivity. The structure of the atom was chosen as the thematic area, which is especially demanding in initial chemical education for the creation of mental models. The use of visualizations in mobile applications can facilitate this situation or, conversely, lead to misconceptions. There are mobile applications on the market that are suitable for teach- ing. After entering the keyword “atom”, there is a large number of applications on the menu and it is necessary to select the most suitable one according to the specific educational goal.
