Atomic Orbitals

 

Welcome to Atomic Orbitals! This site was established as part of an (ongoing) project at Purdue University to develop "visualization modules" for general chemistry students.

The Chime plugin (MDL Information Systems, Inc., Version 2.0 or higher) is required to view the orbitals. JavaScript also needs to be enabled in your web browser.

Some of the pages include (blue) links to glossary entries. Clicking on one of these links will load the glossary entry into a small "pop-up" window.
