This static type simulation provides interactive models
of the structures of molecules. The applet is implemented here six
times, each for a different molecule.
There is no animation involved but the user can interact
with the applets and rotate the models as if they were in 3-D space.
So by static we do not mean motionlessness but rather
no internal animation or processing except to respond to a new input
such as that from a mouse or a value entered on the user interface.
See Chapter
11: Physics: Exercises for discussion of a project based on
this program.
