Possible Audiences:

Junior and Senior undergraduates in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics  

 
 


Brief Overview:

The views of electron orbitals formed by chemists on the one hand and physicist on the other hand have a markedly different representation. We explore the differences and use computer generated visualizations. The C-code based animations provide interactive representations and the Excel-based program provides an application that is accessible to most undergraduates.
