Abstract

Chemistry is a challenging field to master. Models, particularly visual models, can help us understand the underlying concepts. With the rapid advances occurring in computer graphics, scientists have powerful tools to elucidate challenging chemical concepts. It is our obligation as scientists and teachers to learn to use these tools to better communicate what chemistry is all about.
