Reviews simple uses of computers in helping students understand basic processes in theoretical and microscopic chemistry. Presents example of a computer program which evaluates the radical part of any hydrogenlike wavefunction. (PR)

Describes a course based on the premise that an automated experiment consists of three distinct sections: experiment, computer, and interface (including both software and hardware). Includes course content, lecture topics, and discussion of necessary computer equipment. (Author/SK)

Taking a prototype chemical reaction (molecular hydrogen plus hydrogen atom), constructs an accurate semiempirical, generalized diatomics-in-molecules potential energy surface, calculates motions of these atoms on this surface using REACTS trajectory program, and presents results as moving picture on a microcomputer graphics system. Provides…

Following a discussion of how computers are used to solve chemical problems, offers suggestions for avoiding common problems, reviews successful applications and languages (BASIC and FORTRAN), speculates on future trends, and discusses why chemists need to know about computers. (SK)

Described are eight microcomputer systems that are suitable for computer-aided instruction (CAIDI) in chemistry. Specific instructional applications are described to illustrate the wide variety of systems available and their adaptability to problems faced by chemistry teachers. (BT)

Presents 11 short descriptions on the applications of computers in chemistry classrooms and laboratories, including among others, using microcomputer graphics to teach quantum theory, a versatile and inexpensive instrument/computer interface, and a microcomputer-controlled scintillation spectrometer. (JN)

Surveys the current scene in computer graphics from the point of view of a chemistry educator. Discusses the scope of current applications of computer graphics in chemical education, and provides information about hardware and software systems to promote communication with vendors of computer graphics equipment. (HM)

Describes 10 computer programs (available from authors), including graphics display of molecular structure, cyclohexane stereo chemistry, calculation of thermodynamics properties of chemical reactions, and others. Also described graphical display of chemical interactive programs using a programmable calculator and discusses distribution of…

Describes use of Warnier-Orr program design method for preparing general chemistry tutorial on ideal gas calculations. This program (BASIC-PLUS) is available from the author. Also describes a multipurpose computerized class record system at the University of Toledo. (JN)

Continued from an earlier paper are more descriptions of microcomputer systems and applications in chemical education. A number of microcomputer systems are compared. Also listed are five recent references which review popular microcomputers. (Author/CS)
