Interactive 3D molecular viewer displays chemical compounds as rotatable 3D models showing molecular geometry and atomic arrangements.
What is 3D molecular visualization?
3D molecular visualization shows the three-dimensional structure of molecules as interactive models that can be rotated and explored. The viewer displays atoms as spheres and bonds as connections, revealing the actual shape and spatial arrangement of the molecule. This interactive approach helps understand molecular geometry, bond angles, and the overall 3D structure of chemical compounds.
How to use the 3D viewer
The interactive 3D viewer allows you to:
Drag to rotate the molecule and view it from different angles
Shift+Drag to pan and move the molecule around the screen
Scroll to zoom in and out for detailed or overview perspectives
Click on atoms to get information about specific elements
The viewer displays:
Atoms as colored spheres representing different elements
Chemical bonds connecting atoms in their proper spatial arrangement
Realistic molecular geometry showing bond angles and distances
