Abstract:

In teaching chemical kinetics, especially for the transition- state theory and steady- state approximation method, the use of Materials Studio and Matlab software can help visualize the learning of the abstract chemical theory. This facilitates the cultivation of imaginary thinking of the students, enhances the teaching effects, and motivates students' interest in learning physical chemistry.

Key words: Materials Studio, Matlab, Chemical kinetics, Teaching
