Program 9: Molecular
Architecture
The shape and physical properties of a molecule are
determined by the electronic structure of its elements and their bonds. How living organisms distinguish between
similar molecules (isomers) is revealed.
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.
