Sections
- Title
- Atomic orbitals
- Synopsis
- 1: The sizes and shapes of atomic orbitals play a dominant role in properties of chemical bonding. Concepts illustrated include the organisation of the periodic table, the shapes of atomic orbitals, and orbital features important for chemical bonding.
- Title
- Crystals 1
- Synopsis
- 2: From gold and diamond to sodium chloride, face-centred cubic crystals characterise many important substances. Within the framework of the face-centred cubic crystal lattice, this project illustrates Miller indices, lattice vectors and crystal surface s
- Title
- Diels-Alder reaction, The
- Synopsis
- 3: The synthesis of complex substances generally involves challenges in controlling the stereochemical arrangement of molecules. This projects features aspects of stereochemically controlled synthsis, as well as orbital control of reaction products.
- Title
- Nucleophilic substitutions
- Synopsis
- 4: Nucleophilic substitution provides a classic example of chemical reactions capable of proceeding through multiple pathways. This project explores the stereochemical consequences of these different paths, the concept of a transition state, the possibili
- Title
- VSEPR
- Synopsis
- 5: The three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in molecules plays a crucial role in chemical reactivity. Enantiomers, chirality, diastereomers, Newman projections and other important aspects of stereochemistry are graphically illustrated in this project.
