Molecular modeling for the teaching of abstract concepts in university-level general chemistry
Keywords:
ICT, modeling, chemistry, orbitalsAbstract
Molecular modeling is a widely used tool in the field of Chemical research. This tool can be incorporated into the university Chemistry classroom to enhance the learning processes of certain abstract concepts in this discipline. This study examined the effect of implementing a series of molecular modeling software for teaching practical General Chemistry classes on topics such as molecular geometry, orbitals, and orbital energy diagrams. An improvement was observed in the comprehension of orbitals and electronic structure.
