Hi,


You've got to find something to do when it's been raining for three days...

Time well wasted!

Great! One more highlight for rainy days by KLP!

I think he's going to be horrified !


My "molecule generator" is much more mathematical than it is based on 
chemistry or physics principles. This results in things that aren't real.

{sigh}
My forum work is never done.

The "molecules" are structurally fine - discounting the fact that during the
"Big Bang" there would be so much energy that stable molecules wouldn't even
exist.
Also, there would be so much "stuff" flying around, that it would be impossible
to see anything.

I recall watching a video where things had to condense prior to photons being
able to pass through the soup.

With regard to physics, this reminds me of this thread:
https://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.animations/thread/%3Cweb.5bb40ea6ecc49961a47873e10%40news.povray.org%3E/?mtop=4

Make your molecules spin, and possibly add a tiny wobble/nutation.
Things moving in a vacuum don't change direction in the absence of collision.
So make them spin constantly and wobble constantly.  It will look more
"natural".  At present, it kinda makes me twitch.  ;)

If you want molecular complexity, you can have 1 or 2 atoms bonded, and 3, 4, 5,
or 6 atoms bonded to a central atom at maximal angular distances from one
another.
See "Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion" (VSEPR) theory.

YB, good statement above.
And thanks to B.E.'s comment you now should be enlighted!

My "pseudo-generator"” isn't that far off from reality

Thanks BE

Of course.  :)

1. I'd rearrange the 5-outer atoms into a trigonal bipyramid.
That's how almost everything is structured, for orbital reasons.

2. You could look up the atomic radii of all the atoms, the covalent bond
lengths, and the usual colors of the atoms in molecular model kits.  Maybe do
more of a blob, or CPK space-filling kind of representation.

3. If you modeled a little square or box, you could simulate reactions.  Detect
collisions, and then combine molecules or swap atoms. You could try something
simple like the N02 <---> N2O4 equilibrium.

4. Astronomers estimate that roughly 10% to 25% of all elemental carbon in space
is locked up in Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons.  You'll LOVE those.

:D

Good work - you should make a sudden flash at the beginning of the animation.

Next you'll be condensing molecules into clouds of matter, which become planets,
and suns, and ...  ;)
