In the previous installment of this column, a method was described for using the PickCallback function of MDL’s Chemscape Chime to construct a WWW-based molecular geometry analysis tool. In this issue, an alternate method will be presented that makes use of Chime’s built-in scripting instructions. Sample pages will be described in the context of a VSEPR tutorial, which a student might use to compare bond angles in molecules of different hybridizations.
Thomas Gardner (Sun,) studied this question.
