  Molecular Structure - The rise and reemergence of atomism
Distinct molecular structural units that have the same connectivities but varying three-dimensional arrangements are also isomers.
Particle-based models for atomic and molecular structure soon gave way to the quantum mechanical view, in which electrons are not treated as localized, discrete particles (electrons orbiting around a nucleus), but as delocalized areas of wavelike charge, each possessing a given probability of being found in a given location near an atomic nucleus (an orbital).
Molecular orbitals describe three-dimensional arrangements of the atomic nuclei in a molecule and the probability that any given electron of a given energy will occupy a given location with respect to those nuclei.

 Molecular Structure & Bonding
In the formula on the right all four 1º-carbons are structurally equivalent (remember the tetrahedral configuration of tetravalent carbon); however the central formula has two equivalent 1º-carbons (bonded to the 3º carbon on the left end) and a single, structurally different 1º-carbon (bonded to the 2º-carbon) at the right end.
Although structural formulas are essential to the unique description of organic compounds, it is interesting and instructive to evaluate the information that may be obtained from a molecular formula alone.
The double bonded structure is regarded as the major contributor, the middle structure a minor contributor and the right hand structure a non-contributor.

However, due to the small size of typical molecular transition moments, the field of coherence effects in laser molecule interactions is still in its infancy.
Similarly, all-optical control of molecular orientation and alignment on surfaces may turn out in the future to be a very attractive means for providing insights into mechanisms of chemical reactions on surfaces as well as helping advance the molecular-electronics approach to device fabrication.

 Molecular Structure
These molecular vibrations occur because the relative positions and orientations of the atomic nuclei are not absolutely fixed within the molecule.
The molecular rotations occur because the individual molecules are free to spin and rotate in space since they are in a gaseous state.
Thanks to its linear structure, the rotational energy spectrum of CO has the same character as that for diatomic molecules and the rotational energy levels are thus approximated by:

 Molecular Structure
No structural formula seemed to satisfy the valence requirements and at the same time to account for the great stability of the compound.
After all, the Kekule structural formulas were written two-dimensionally on the flat surface of a flboard or a piece of paper.
Essentially, this theory held that the structural relationships between atoms did not need to be restricted to ordinary valence bonds.

 Molecular Expressions: Images from the Microscope
Fluorescence (Förster) Resonance Energy Transfer with Fluorescent Proteins - Fluorescent proteins are increasingly being applied as non-invasive probes in living cells due to their ability to be genetically fused to proteins of interest for investigations of localization, transport, and dynamics.
The spectral properties of fluorescent proteins are dependent upon the structure of the fluorophore as well as the localized interactions of amino acid residues in the immediate vicinity, and in some cases, residues far removed from the fluorophore.
Together with the scientists and programmers at Molecular Expressions, Nikon microscopists and engineers are providing the latest state-of-the-art information in microscope optics and imaging technology including specialized techniques such as fluorescence, differential interference contrast (DIC), phase contrast, reflected light microscopy, and microscopy of living cells.

 Letter to Nature: Molecular structure of Nucleic Acids   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This structure as described is rather ill-defined, and for this reason we shall not comment on it.
The novel feature of the structure is the manner in which the two chains are held together by the purine and pyrimidine bases.
If it is assumed that the bases only occur in the structure in the most plausible tautomeric forms (that is, with the keto rather than the enol configurations) it is found that only specific pairs of bases can bond together.

 Molecular Structure Help in Determining Salicylate Status of Ingredients
This exact pattern must exist somewhere in the molecular structure of any chemical that is a member of the salicylate family.
Not being chemists, we can't tell you whether the similar structures with the OH in an octo- position are scientifically salicylates or not.
If the chemical finder finds the ingredient but does not have a molecular structure that implies the ingredient is a combination of chemicals, and not one single chemical, then we have to do further research to try and determine if salicylates are one of the chemicals in the ingredient.

 Molecular Structure of Proteins
The folded structure of a protein is actually thermodynamically less favorable because it reduces the disorder or entropy of the protein.
This globular shape allows for the reduction in the number of nonpolar molecules being exposed to water and actually slightly increases entropy as water molecules are liberated by the burying of nonpolar molecules to the center of the globular structure.
Time for this activity can be reduced by having molecular models prepared for students to observe, and not allowing students to build the molecules.

 Cranium Paper - Molecular Knowledge Systems, Inc.
Reasoning about a compound's molecular structure or a mixture's components, Cranium identifies the material's chemical family, selects the most accurate estimation technique, automatically dissects molecular structures into group fragments, and then estimates the material's physical property.
Molecular structures, physical property data, and estimation techniques can all be added to Cranium in a single, consistent manner.
These would contain their own material data, estimation techniques, molecular structures, etc. These knowledge bases can be freely distributed to other Cranium users or to non-users using a runtime package.

 TAPPI Website - Effects of Molecular Structure, Rheology, Morphology, and Orientation on Polyethylene Blown Film ...
The effects and interactions of polyethylene molecular structure, rheology, morphology and molecular orientation on blown film properties were examined in detail.
The molecular structure was examined via gel permeation chromatography (GPC), rheology via standard dynamic oscillatory shear tests, morphology via transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and molecular orientation via both wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) and infrared dichroism.
The results clearly showed that the resin rheology and molecular structure profoundly affected the extent of lamellar stacking, fibril nuclei and degree of molecular orientation which in turn resulted in substantial changes in blown film properties.

 Electron Configurations & The Periodic Table
The study of organic chemistry must at some point extend to the molecular level, for the physical and chemical properties of a substance are ultimately explained in terms of the structure and bonding of molecules.
Its location in the periodic table should not suggest a kinship to the chemistry of the alkali metals, and its role in the structure and properties of organic compounds is unlike that of any other element.
