Rotational Axes

Once the molecule file is fully loaded the image at right will become live. At that time the "activate 3-D" icon will disappear.

Example Rotational Axes

Use the buttons below to show models with showing rotational axes for two kinds of tops.

The symmetric top example is CH₃Cl and shows just the primary axis.

The asymmetric top example is CHClBrF and shows all three unequal axes.

You may look at any of these intermediate views again by clicking on the appropriate button.
