Simulation of Atomic and Molecular Orbitals

Massey, A. G.; Massey S.

Education in Chemistry, 13, 4, 111-114, Jul 76

Describes the use of magnets to simulate s, p, and d atomic orbitals from which a wide variety of molecular orbitals can be derived. The technique gives students an idea of molecular orbitals' shapes and stresses the importance of symmetry labels. (MLH)
