Ozone

The three buttons below show the bond lengths and bond angle of an Ozone molecule.  The best optimized geometry came from the ab initio result of DZV (double zeta valence) because it is the highest basis set.

The two buttons below display the HOMO Orbitals and the LUMO orbitals of an Ozone molecule with the best geometry.  The HOMO is the highest occupied molecular orbital, which was found to be the 12th orbital, and the LUMO is the lowest un occupied molecular orbital which is the 13th orbital.



 
A live display of the electrostatic potential will be shown on the right if clicking on the button below.

The best ab initio basis set compared to the literature value appeared to be 321G.  This was not expected because it is one of the smallest basis sets and the higher the basis set usually gives better results.
