Mathematica Based Sims
Note: Before you begin using these simulations make sure that you have downloaded and installed the free Computable Document Format (CDF) player from the Wolfram website. Once you have installed the CDF player open a browser that supports 32-bit plugins (Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Safari) and you're ready to begin! If you would like additional practice with spherical harmonics try our tutorial!

Tutorials for PhET Sims
Quantum Bound States Sim
This superb sim developed by the PhET team shows the behavior of various prototypical quantum systems that are usually treated in introductory classes on quantum mechanics at the undergraduate and graduate level in chemistry. The tutorial is meant to guide homework or in-class activities.

Simulations of Chemical Kinetics
These simulations visualize time-dependent concentrations for different scenarios in chemical kinetics. The simulations currently implemented cover simple unimolecular reactions (A ⇄ B), bimolecular reactions (2A ⇄ B, A + B ⇄ C), consecutive unimolecular reactions (A ⇄ B ⇄ C), parallel reactions, the Lindemann-Hinshelwood mechanism, Michaelis-Menten kinetics (with and without inhibitor), and homogeneous CO2 reduction catalysis with a model system. The tutorial is meant to guide homework or in-class activities. [Note: The tutorial is work in progress and will be updated over time.]
