Quantum Mechanics and Spectroscopy- Potential Energy Surface Model

Potential Energy Surface Model

Description: Potential energy surface for H-H-HBr. The contours of the model represents the distance between the molecules and the energy of the system. Marbles can be rolled along the surface showing the changes in energy as the reaction H+HB->H2 + Br proceeds.
