Dipoles and Electrostatic Surfaces

Use the buttons to load various molecules of interest.

Examples of pi-bonding in alkenes, alkynes and aromatics and conjugation (or not) with ketones

The effect of hydration on carbonyl compounds

Where will these compounds protonate? What shape are they? What is the hydridisation at nitrogen?

Use the buttons to display the dipoles and electrostatic potential mapped onto the surface of each molecule.

Red regions are nucleophilic and blue regions are electrophilic
