  Weblink 3.5 View and rotate three-dimensional representations of the occupied MOs of O2

This applet allows you to view the occupied MOs of the O2 molecule, which have been found using a computer program. These MOs are very similar in form to the idealized MOs shown in Weblink 3.4

  • Click and drag to rotate the structure; shift_click and drag to zoom
  • Select the MO to view using the menu
  • Select the type of surface using the radio buttons
  • Use the check box to display the nodal surface (zero contour - shown as a green mesh)
  • Use the buttons to change the iso-surface value
