Flashcards

Molecular Geometry

Determining the arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule. It helps understand how a molecule interacts with other molecules.

Electronic Structure

Describes the distribution of electrons in a molecule, including the occupancy of molecular orbitals.

Chemical Structure Determination

The process of determining the arrangement of atoms, bonds and electrons in a molecule.

Structure Determination Applications

The process can be used to understand the structure of a wide range of molecules, from simple ones like methane to complex ones like proteins.
