CHAMIZO, José Antonio  y  MARQUEZ, José Rutilo. Modelación molecular: estrategia didáctica sobre la constitución de los gases, la función de los catalizadores y el lenguaje de la química. RMIE [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.31, pp.1241-1257. ISSN 1405-6666.

The article presents the results of a didactic strategy based on modeling, for learning the role of catalysts in chemical reactions. The study, carried out with first-semester university students and applicable to lower levels, also reveals important improvement in understanding the constitution of gases and the language of chemistry.
