Molecular Structure Calculations

• To generate the Lewis dot structure, you have to follow the given steps: Find the total count of valence electrons to molecules. In this step, add the total count of valence electrons from all the atoms in a bit. Find the required count of electrons needed to make the atoms complete.
• Get the free 'Lewis structure' widget for your website, blog, Wordpress, Blogger, or iGoogle. Find more Chemistry widgets in Wolfram Alpha.
• However, Lewis dot structures and hybridization are approximations that may or may not match reality. We should verify the usefulness of our simple predictions with molecular orbital theory. If the theoretical calculations are done carefully, we can learn a lot about chemical structure by comparing our Lewis structures and hybridization.

The simple theories of bonding that we learn in General Chemistry are powerfuland useful. These theories, which include Lewis structures, VSEPR, andhybridization, are simple models that help predict chemicalproperties. However, Lewis dot structures and hybridization are approximationsthat may or may not match reality. We should verify the usefulness of oursimple predictions with molecular orbital theory. If thetheoretical calculations are done carefully, we can learn a lot about chemical structure by comparing our Lewis structures and hybridizationarguments with the molecular orbitals.

The calculations in this database includebond lengths, angles, atomic charges, the dipole moment,bond orders, and molecular orbital energies. The best Lewis structure thatfits the molecular orbitals is also calculated, so you can directlycompare with your predictions. This best Lewis structure is presented withformal electron pair localized bonds and the hybridization of the atomicorbitals used to form these localized bonds. The Chime plugin is neededto see the 3-D structure of the molecules in these pages. See thelink at the bottom of the page for the Chime plugin.

Molecular orbital theory is based on approximations also. These calculationsare done with some of the best available calculation methods (DFT forgeometry and molecular orbital energies and ab initio for properties).We use Alain St-Amant's DeFT program (University of Ottawa).

The Molecular Structure Input Form, see below, will allow you to do calculationsfor molecules not in the database.These calculations take time; 1-2 hours in some cases.

You can use the Formula Search page or browse the links below. As of 07/12/05 there are 1056structures in the database.
A Best Lewis Structure and Donor Acceptor Interactions Tutorialis available to help you interpret those output sections. These Lewisstructure calculations are done using NBO Analysis.
