Abstract

The exercises in this Mathcad template will introduce students to the graphical representations of complex hybrid orbitals, specifically the angular part of these orbitals. After gaining experience with graphing these orbitals, students should be able to visualize these hybrid orbitals and the resulting molecular geometries.
