Pre-requisites |
To follow this tutorial,
|
Cursor on Jmol interface.
Click on the File menu and select Get Mol option. In the input box, type water. Click OK. |
Open the Jmol interface.
Click on the File menu and select Get Mol option. In the input box, type water and Click OK. |
Cursor on the panel.
Hold Ctrl and Alt keys |
3D structure of water is seen on the panel.
Hold Ctrl and Alt keys to move the model on the screen. |
Cursor on the panel. | Water has two lone pairs of electrons on the Oxygen atom.
They are also referred to as an unshared pair of valence electrons. |
Cursor on the panel. | Using the script commands we can represent lone pair of electrons as tear-drop shaped lobes. |
Click on the File menu and select the Console option. | To open the console click the File menu.
Select Console option. |
Cursor on the panel. | Script console opens as a pop-up window. |
Cursor on the console. | Here we can write commands to draw the lone pair of electrons. |
At the prompt, Type the following, select oxygen;lcaocartoon color translucent white create lpa
Press Enter. |
At the prompt, Type the command:
select oxygen;lcaocartoon color translucent white create lpa This command will create a translucent white colored lobe on the oxygen atom. Press Enter. |
Cursor on the panel. | The first lobe is seen on the oxygen atom on the panel.
You can change the color in the command according to your preference. |
Press up arrow key on the keyboard. | I will change the color of the lobes to yellow.
Press the up arrow key to get the previous command at the prompt. |
select oxygen;lcaocartoon color yellow create lpa | Edit the command and change, translucent white to yellow and press Enter. |
Press the up arrow on the keyboard. At the end of the command line, change lpa to lpb. Press Enter. |
For the second lobe:
Press the up arrow key on the keyboard to get the previous command at the prompt. Edit the command. At the end of the command line, change lpa to lpb. Press Enter. |
Cursor on the panel. | Now we can see two lobes representing two lone pairs of electrons on the panel. |
Cursor on the panel. | I have loaded the 3D structure of ammonia using GetMol.
To open the console click the File menu. Select Console option. |
Cursor on the console
select nitrogen;lcaocartoon color yellow create lpa |
Here is the command line for displaying a lone pair on nitrogen in ammonia. |
