Description: Students learn how to compute and visualize molecular orbitals using
IQmol and review the key concepts of the MO-LCAO picture of bonding and symmetry of
electronic wave functions.

Suggested level: Beginning graduate

Learning objectives: Learn how to compute and visualize molecular orbitals and how
to assign their characters (bonding, lone pairs, antibonding); review symmetry concepts.
