Huh. A pair of atoms can be considered an harmonic oscillator for IR purposes. Is that approximation any useful when dealing with 3c2e bonds and all those?
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. I see. Some harmless...pinging? Does that have a name?
@pentavalentcarbon I might do that, but I have to get a closer look at this first. I don't feel comfortable giving an answer about software, that I have not used. If you yourself do the work to familiarise yourself with the program, I can only encourage you to write up an answer. I am sure a lot of people, including the author, would appreciate that.

I wonder why Zn reacts with HCl. Is it because there is a larger electronegativity difference between Cl anr Zn than between Cl and H, and so Cl is attracted to Zn.
@Martin-マーチン Yes, I agree. The package is small enough that I can read it and understand it, but it's also small enough that I might rewrite the whole thing...it's very ugly and un-Pythonic.
Say for example, the $\ce{KOH}$ molecule. I know it's a base from literature, but how would one go about determining if a molecule is acidic or basic simply based on the structure of the molecule? How about amphoteric?
Also, I understand that there are two complementary systems - Lewis and Brons...
If people see they can find out something interesting about your diagram, like some scientific point illustrated in the content, they'd like the diagram, no matter how crappy it looks. :)
@Leuchte Then what are you doing here chatting? Get the work done! :)
