Weblink 5.3 The sp³ hybrid atomic orbitals

These four HAOs point towards the corners of a tetrahedron. The wire framework indicates these directions.

• Select the orbitals you wish to display using the checkboxes.
• "Click and drag" on the 3D picture of the orbital to rotate it; "Click, shift and drag" to zoom in and out.
• The 3D representation can be shifted between solid, translucent and mesh views by using the "Model View" radio group.
• You can alter the value of the wavefunction at which the iso-surface is plotted by typing a new number into the "Iso-surface value" box and clicking the "Update" button.
