WebMO Premium is equivalent in functionality to the free 'WebMO' app in conjunction with the 'WebMO Premium' in-app purchase. This paid version is provided for convienence for volume purchases. WebMO allows users to build and view molecules in 3-D, visualize orbitals and symmetry elements, lookup chemical information and properties from external databases, and access state-of-the-art computational chemistry programs. WebMO is recommended for students and faculty in high school, college, and graduate school who desire mobile access to molecular structures, information, and calculations. WebMO capabilities include: - Build molecules by drawing atoms and bonds in a 3-D molecular editor, or by speaking the name (e.g., “aspirin”) - Optimize structures using VSEPR theory or molecular mechanics - View Huckel molecular orbitals, electron density, and electrostatic potential - View molecular vibrations - View point group and symmetry elements of molecules - Lookup basic molecular information, including IUPAC and common names, stoichiometry, molar mass - Lookup chemical data from PubChem and ChemSpider - Lookup experimental and predicted molecular properties from external databases (NIST, Sigma-Aldrich) - Lookup IR, UV-VIS, NMR, and mass spectra from external databases (NIST, SDBS) - Capture high-resolution molecular images - Save and recall molecular structures locally - Export and import structures via email WebMO is also a front-end to WebMO servers (version 14 and higher): - Supports Gaussian, GAMESS, Molpro, MOPAC, NWChem, ORCA, PQS, PSI, Quantum Espresso, VASP, Q-Chem, and Tinker computational chemistry programs - Submit, monitor, and view calculations - View formatted tabular data extracted from output files, as well as raw output - Visualize geometry, partial charges, dipole moment, normal vibrational modes, molecular orbitals, and NMR/IR/UV-VIS spectra

Quantum mechanics is a fascinating field that helps us understand the behavior of matter and energy on a microscopic level. One of the most important concepts in quantum mechanics is the idea of atomic orbitals. An atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the probability of finding an electron in a particular location around an atom's nucleus. Each electron in an atom can be described by a unique set of four quantum numbers, which determine its energy level, angular momentum, magnetic moment, and spin. The shape of each atomic orbital can be accurately depicted using a formula called spherical harmonics, which creates a visual representation of the electron's probable location around the nucleus. These representations are often shown as a series of dots, each representing a probable location of where an electron might be. The VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory, on the other hand, is a model used to predict the geometry of molecules based on the arrangement of electrons in their valence shells. According to this theory, the electrons in a molecule's valence shell repel each other, and their repulsion determines the molecule's shape. The VSEPR model predicts a range of molecular shapes, including linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral. These shapes can be used to predict a molecule's physical and chemical properties, such as polarity and reactivity. This app will provide you these fascinating insights about the nature of how atoms and molecules behave in the real world.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Electronify at Free against WebMO Premium's $4.99. Electronify also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 17 months). WebMO Premium's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
