Molecular geometry and mathematical interpretation • The geometry of a set of atoms or molecules can be described by Cartesian coordinates of the atoms or, internal coordinates formed from a set of bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles. • Given a set of atoms and a vector, r, describing the atoms' positions, one can introduce the concept of the energy as a functionof …
