Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Chemical Reactions for Use in Education
Qian Xie; Tinker, Robert
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n1 p77 Jan 2006
One of the simulation engines of an open-source program called the Molecular Workbench, which can simulate thermodynamics of chemical reactions, is described. This type of real-time, interactive simulation and visualization of chemical reactions at the atomic scale could help students understand the connections between chemical reaction equations and atomic interactions.
