- Dr. P. Falstad's web applets showing rotatable models of atomic orbitals,
or of homonuclear diatomic molecular orbitals
- These have now been translated to use JavaScript instead of Java,
so run well in a browser such as Chrome which does not have the Java plugin
- Atomic orbitals:
http://www.falstad.com/qmatom/
- I suggest that you start with 'l = 2 (d)' and then '4dxz',
to see something recognizable at an elementary level
- When the orbital looks symmetrical, switch the animation off by
clicking the box before the word 'Stopped'
- Turn up the resolution a bit, by dragging the slider below the label 'Image Resolution'
- Switch the energy curve off, on the View menu
- Diatomic molecular orbitals:
http://www.falstad.com/qmmo/
- I suggest that you start with 'pi*g 2px'
- Switch the energy curve off, on the View menu
-
Website showing Group Theory Character Tables, useful for checking what symmetry
operations there should be for a point group symmetry which you have assigned to a
molecule:
