The following properties of each molecule or ion are presented graphically with only a minimum of text. You can set the program to show/hide some of the more advanced topics.
- ball/stick model
- covalent radii
- van der Waals radii
- Lewis structure
- resonance structures
- bond angle
- bond length
- electronegativity
- partial charge
- dipole moment
- electron pair geometry
- molecular geometry
- hybridization
- electrostatic potential
- molecular orbitals (HOMO/LUMO)
One of the most interesting features of the data base is the ability to compare the properties of any two molecules. There are a variety of presorted lists of molecules for comparison, including diatomic, triatomic, linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, polar, and non-polar molecules.
