| Title | Animated Vibrational Modes of Triatomic Molecules | |||||
| URL | http://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu/JCEWWW/Articles/WWW00... | |||||
| Annotation | Molecular vibration modes are discussed using animation to depict atomic motion. As examples, the fundamental vibrational modes and their composite superposition are demonstrated for sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. A brief overview of the approach for calculating molecular vibrational modes is included with references to basic literature on the topic. Atomic motion resulting from the superposition of fundamental modes is discussed in relation to effects of molecular vibrations on reactivity. The site is a Journal of Chemical Education Online article. QuickTime is required to view the animations. | |||||
