Sweeder, Ryan D.; Herrington, Deborah G.; VandenPlas, Jessica R. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
Simulations have changed chemistry education by allowing students to visualize the motion and interaction of particles underlying important chemical processes. With kinetics, such visualizations can illustrate how particles interact to yield successful reactions and how changes in concentration and temperature impact the number and success of…

Halpern, Arthur M.; Glendening, Eric D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2013
A three-part project for students in physical chemistry, computational chemistry, or independent study is described in which they explore applications of valence bond (VB) and molecular orbital-configuration interaction (MO-CI) treatments of H[subscript 2]. Using a scientific spreadsheet, students construct potential-energy (PE) curves for several…
