Virtual Computational Chemistry Laboratory

"Virtual Computational Chemistry Laboratory"

The students dream! "The Ultimate Dry Lab!" No more messy chemical stained notebooks and all that goes with wet lab experiments.

Yep, sounds like a easy (read "lazy") way to learn chemistry. Sounds like the good old American way... Too bad you can't learn things like chemical safety form computers. Like the time I learned not to dump a benzene containing system on fire into a sink which accidentally contained benzene and almost burned the chem lab down.

Hmmm,

Sounds interesting. First design your experiment. Then construct a virtual model. Put the model on a computer. Vary the variables. Observe the outcomes.

Then test your model and outcome(s) in a wet lab to verify.

Thanks bobquz;

That what I am upto. can you give just one example that shows an experiment designed where a virtual model is constructed on a computer and this has been used to observe the out comes of a certain change in some variables.
