- | In this exercise, you will perform an electronic structure calculation to obtain the ethene molecular orbitals (MOs).\\ | + | In this exercise, you will perform an electronic structure calculation to obtain the ethene molecular orbitals (MOs). If performed correctly, your calculations will produce a list of occupied and non occupied MOs and a series of *.cube files, that allow the visualization of the oribital with VMD. |
