    molecules in 3-dimensions. To learn how to use the Spartan ES software. To compute and graph the relative conformational energies of ethane and butane. Background: One of the most successful theories of the 20th century is quantum mechanics‚ also called wave mechanics. The idea that energy in atoms occurs in discrete bundles is contrary to our everyday notion that energy flows smoothly into or out of a reaction. But on the atomic and molecular scale‚ our everyday notions must be set aside. Likewise

    Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 to Dr. Frank Hawking‚ a research biologist‚ and Isobel Hawking. He had two younger sisters‚ Philippa and Mary‚ and an adopted brother‚ Edward.[11] Though Hawking’s parents were living in North London‚ they moved to Oxford while his mother was pregnant with Stephen‚ desiring a safer location for the birth of their first child. (London was under attack at the time by the Luftwaffe.)[12] According to Hawking‚ a German V-2 missile struck only a few streets away

    classical mechanics‚ because they are consistent with each other and with Newton’s laws of motion. Lagrange’s and Hamilton’s equations are useful for solving many complicated dynamical problems. In principle‚ the properties of bulk matter must be deducible from the properties of electrons and atomic nuclei of which it is composed. However‚ it is found that many the observed properties of matter cannot be explained on the assumption that the particles obey the laws of classical mechanics. At the

    theory in which one-dimensional loops travel through space and also merge and lyse as time elapses. This is in contrast to ordinary quantum field theory‚ which predicts point particles that emit and absorb each other. String theory is a candidate for a Theory of Everything." String theory would solve the long fight between Einstein’s theory of relativity and Quantum Physics. String theory proclaims that everything in our universe‚ from stars and suns to apples and atoms‚ is made up of incredibly

Quantum mechanics gives us the following formula for a harmonic oscillator: [pic] where [pic] is the vibrational frequency‚ h is Planck’s constant‚ and n is the vibrational quantum number. The rigid rotor model also applies to diatomic molecules. It can be solved in the equation below: [pic] where J is the rotational quantum number. Below is a simple picture of a chlorine atom
