This computational module in molecular orbital theory enhanced student learning. We were able to use a software package already owned by our university to introduce honors general chemistry students to both molecular orbital theory and computational chemistry. Students who participated in the module in addition to attending a class lecture scored 22.7% higher on a 10-item, multiple-choice posttest than students who attended lecture alone. The posttest adequately assessed learning for the control group, but proved too easy for the module students. While the test groups were small, the t-test analysis is designed for such situations. The authors believe that the effectiveness, low cost, and ease of administration of this exercise make it a valuable tool for chemistry teachers, especially those at institutions that already own ChemBio3D Ultra.
