In the last post,we showed how to builda molecular orbital (MO) diagram for a typical C-C pi bond.We saw that:The number of molecular orbitals equalled the number of contributing atomic orbitals. The overlap of two atomic (p) orbitals gave rise to two molecular...

A list of small, useful things (links): Anyone facing a writing deadline (looking at you, thesis writers) (looking right back at you, CJ - ed.) should read Dan Drezner's post on writing a non-fiction book. I have been remiss in not linking to...
