Mastering Mulliken Charge Analysis with Gaussian: Step-by-Step Guide 🔍

Mulliken charge analysis is a method for assigning partial atomic charges to atoms in a molecule based on the electron population of each atom, calculated using a quantum mechanical method. Gaussian is a quantum chemistry software package that can be used to perform Mulliken charge analysis. In Gaussian, the Mulliken charges are calculated by integrating the electron density over the atomic orbitals and comparing the results to the total electron count of each atom. The charges are then used to interpret molecular properties, such as reactivity, bonding, and chemical behavior.<br /><br />Molecular modeling tutorial<br />________________________________<br />https://youtu.be/K-k4Y845wOA<br /><br />https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8hq2vd
