Abstract
This exercise aims to introduce students to the molecular modeling (Spartan) software. Students will construct and visualize a number of small molecules in two and three dimensions, and calculate and measure some basic geometric parameters such as bond distances and angles with three-dimensional structures.
Keywords: Chemical bonds, molecular modeling, bond distances, molecular mechanics, molecular orbital theory (MOT).
