Orbitals software delivers high-quality graphics and runs at 35 frames per second on a standard iMac.
Unlike what we were taught in school, the electron does not move in a circle around the core. Instead, it behaves incredibly similarly to light as both can be waves or particles. Quantum Mechanics is the theory that describes this phenomena of wave-like behaviors. To calculate the wave functions that describe electron behavior, we need computers to visualize them.
Orbitals definitely rises to the occasion as it's capable of visualizing all possible wave functions up to n=40. The user interface is incredibly intuitive and easy to use, even for beginners. It has a powerful 3D and slice view to observe from all angles. Users can manipulate the view in real-time with mouse-rotating, changing quantum numbers, zoom and more. This means you get to interact directly with the object you're observing.
With Orbitals, users can visualize superpositions of up to 15 orbitals, hybridizations, and atoms with more than one electron. The software also allows users to save their own orbitals and open them up later. It runs smoothly at 35 frames per second, even on a standard iMac, making it an ideal tool for educators, students or professionals.
If you want to explore the world of quantum mechanics, Orbitals is the perfect tool to make it easier and more accessible. Its features are incredibly useful and help in visualizing the particle wave-like behavior of electrons. This software is a must-have for anyone who is interested in physical chemistry, materials science, or even just as an educational tool.
