Dr. Alyssa Santos, former postdoctoral researcher at Âé¶¹Ó³»­; Dr. Alexander Rupprecht, assistant professor of Chemistry; Dr. Katsu Ogawa, assistant professor of Chemistry; Patrick Schneider, lecturer of Chemistry; Dr. Adam Brown, professor of Education; and Dr. Scott Simpson, professor of Chemistry and program chair (from left in photos, starting at top left), had their article titled "Exploring Student Misconceptions in Bonding and Resonance: A Computational Chemistry Exercise for General Chemistry Laboratory" published in the Journal of Chemical Education.

The article relates to the impact of a quantum mechanical exercise that was developed for a general chemistry laboratory course at Âé¶¹Ó³»­ in which students examined potential energy surfaces, molecular orbital diagrams, and how bond orders and Lewis structures are connected.

The Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) is co-published by the ACS Division of Chemical Education and ACS Publications. Launched in 1924, JCE is the world’s premier chemical education journal.
