Program 14: Molecules
in Action
Observing
molecules during chemical reactions helps explain the role that catalysts play
in chemical transformations. The
program also demonstrates the state of dynamic equilibrium, which allows
chemists and chemical engineers to change reaction conditions.
Journey through the exciting world of chemistry with Nobel laureate Roald Hoffman as your guide. The foundations of chemical structures and their behavior are explored through computer animation, demonstrations, and on-site footage at working industrial and research labs. Distinguished scientists discuss yesterday’s breakthroughs and today’s challenged.
