Odyssey Molecular Modeling Software

ODYSSEY is chemistry education software for visualization and simulation at the molecular level.

From carbon monoxide to DNA, from hydrogen gas to liquid water-ODYSSEY shows matter in full atomic detail and stunning molecular motion.

Great for:

• Teacher demonstrations
• Lab Experiments
• Homework assignments

Hundreds of Molecular Models

Experiments and demonstrations across the chemistry curriculum

Teacher-Ready

• Compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint
• Instructor comments
• Microsoft Word formatted student worksheets with answer keys

ODYSSEY includes more than 85 core chemistry topics in self-contained units with ready-to-use lab activities. Each experiment is designed to engage students in discovery-based learning -- but can also be used for classroom demonstrations. Learners are provided with unparalleled visualization and simulation of matter at the molecular level. Instructor edition includes more than 50 student worksheets and answer keys.

Model Kit

ODYSSEY's Model Kit contains a set of builders for Molecules, Solids, Organic Molecules, Peptides, and Nucleotides. These builders are similar to those in Wavefunction's Spartan, that is used by tens of thousands of students, instructors, and researchers world-wide.

The Model Kit enables the construction of almost any chemical system. This puts an open ended virtual laboratory at your fingertips. ll constructed systems are available for simulation and exploration. Instead of having students learn about molecules in 2-D, utilize ODYSSEY's Model Kit and move into 3-dimentions.

Molecular Stockroom

ODYSSEY's Molecular Stockroom provides hundreds of pre-constructed samples of matter spanning a wide range of systems. Each entry allows for query of system properties, visualization in multiple model styles, and molecular simulation. The models can be used as the entry to a classroom demonstration or as starting content for new lab activities.

The stockroom can be browsed by individual items or by category. Categories represented include: Elements, Solutions, Inorganics, Biological, Organics, and Polymers.

Plots and Properties

ODYSSEY allows a multitude of Properties to be measured. These may be correlated in a variety of plots:

• Snap Plots include recorded values 'posted' to the plot.
• Time Plots track any property as a function of time.
• List Plots represent data from a number of different samples.
• Histograms are available for the speed and kinetic energy distributions.

ODYSSEY can query a host of properties including density, number of molecules, electronegativity, molar mass, mass fraction, distances and angles, temperature, volume, pressure, kinetic energy, potential energy, atomic and molecular charges, dipole moments, speeds, collision frequencies, and number of hydrogen bonds. Several properties (volume, temperature, system composition) are user adjustable.
