beauty and grasp how atomic structure determines chemical behavior.
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.
