For the first time, scientists were able to examine a cross-section view of the orbits of electrons during a chemical reaction. By ordering the computer to slice through the ammonium chloride molecule at different angles, Clementi developed other cross sections; he was also able to determine exactly how the atoms in the molecule were joined...
