What you will learn in Molecular Visualization

1. 1. Seeing Molecules Three Ways

   Ball-and-stick, space-filling, and wireframe show the same molecule for different purposes.

2. 2. Watching a Molecule Form

   Separate atoms travel in, bonds appear where there were none, and the shared electron pairs come with them.

3. 3. Measuring Bonds

   Click atoms to read back real bond lengths and angles.

4. 4. Bond Polarity

   Electronegativity difference decides whether a bond is polar — and molecular symmetry decides whether the whole molecule is.

5. 5. Hybridization

   An atom's steric number — bonds plus lone pairs — decides sp, sp², or sp³ hybridization.

6. 6. Electron Density

   A qualitative picture of where a molecule's electrons cluster.
