This unique Atomic Orbitals CD-ROM is a self-paced interactive multimedia software. Combining the scientific visualization techniques and 3D computer animation, this CD-ROM helps students understand the abstract concepts about atomic orbitals. The CD-ROM can also be used effectively by instructors for classroom multimedia lectures without any time-consuming customizing. The design of the program is so ingenious that you can quickly jump between topics, and easily control the flow of the presentation. 

You will find demo programs, QuickTime movies, and screen-shots available to download. 
Topics include: 
 

History		Learn the discovery of the atomic structure with captivating 3D computer animation presented in the exciting storytelling style.
Shapes of Orbitals		Visualization of hydrogenic atomic orbitals from 1s to 4f (total 30 orbitals) as wave functions, electron density distribution, and relative orbital size. Stunning high quality scientifically accurate images of orbitals. It does not just show you a static picture, but for each of the 30 orbitals, the program lets you examine the orbitals by interactively rotating them, or slice through the orbitals to reveal its electron distribution.
Hybrid Orbitals		Visualization of the difficult concept of sp, sp2, and sp3 hybrid orbitals. With high quality scientifically accurate images of hybrid orbitals, the software also lets you examine the orbitals by interactively rotating them. The equations are accompanied with each hybrid orbitals to give student an intuitive understanding of the hybridization.
Filling Orbitals		Effective multimedia presentation, with animation and voice annotation, showing you an easy way to memorize the order of filling atomic orbitals.

 

The Atomic Orbitals CD (compatible with both Mac and Windows systems) is now available.
