Hydrogen orbitals
Look at the shapes, nodes and wave function signs of hydrogen orbitals in three dimensions.
Open modelFrom atomic structure to organic reactions and quantum chemistry.
Starting from periodic trends, electron configuration, ionization energy and chemical bonding appear as different faces of one set of rules for electronic structure.
Bring macroscopic properties back to the lattice scale: packing, diffraction, band structure and solid solutions all follow from the way atoms are arranged.
Two rulers for a reaction: whether it can happen, whether it releases heat, how fast it goes, and how a catalyst changes only the rate.
Draw a mechanism as curved arrows: where the electrons come from and where they go decides the product, the stereochemistry and the rate.
