Interaction of atoms

Here you can choose the atoms, whose interaction you want to investigate. You can choose two atoms of the same kind or two different elements.

"Calculate energy" is the key function of this webpage. Clicking on this button, you start the quantum chemical calculation for the structure that you have chosen above.
If you click on "reset structure" you get back to the initial state, in case you don't see any atoms anymore. Clicking on "Enter distances" allows you to put in different values for the distance between the atoms.

Here your results get animated. Looking at the structure and the graph both at the same time, it should make it easier to understand the reaction. However, this only makes sense, if you have already calculated some energy values... Auto-Calculation is deactivated initially - later you can use it to modify the distance automatically without having to choose it one at a time manually.
