The application of molecular graphics software as a simple and free alternative to molecular model sets for introductory-level chemistry learners is presented.
Based on either Avogadro or IQmol, we proposed four sets of tasks for students, building basic molecular geometries, visualizing orbitals and densities, predicting polarity of molecules and matching 3D structures with bond-line structures. These topics are typically covered in general chemistry for first-year undergraduate students. Detailed step-by-step procedures are provided for all tasks for both programs so that instructors and students can adopt one of the two programs in their teaching and learning as an alternative to molecular model sets.
介绍一种将分子图形软件作为入门级化学学习者的分子模型集的简单且免费替代品的应用。
基于 Avogadro 或 IQmol，我们为学生提出了四组任务，构建基本分子几何形状、可视化轨道和密度、预测分子极性以及将 3D 结构与键线结构匹配。这些主题通常在为一年级本科生开设的普通化学课程中涵盖。为两个程序的所有任务都提供了详细的逐步操作步骤，以便教师和学生可以在教学中采用这两个程序之一作为分子模型集的替代方案。
