Using Multiwfn, a free wavefunction analyzer, visualization of the descriptors of physical and chemical properties can greatly enrich the classroom-teaching contents, and will present the elegance of chemistry. In the current study, color-filled maps of localized-orbital locator (LOL) purely obtained through π electrons (LOL-π), electron localization function (ELF) color maps, and scanning tunnel microscope (STM) images were created based on the molecular orbitals of monocyclic B₅N₅. Additionally, molecular surface electrostatic potential, average local ionization energy (ALIE), and local electron affinity (LEA) were employed to visualize the reactive sites of B₅N₅. Interaction region indicator (IRI) and noncovalent interaction (NCI) analyses were performed and discussed to reveal the bonding and weak interactions in this material. The proposed study is a typical paragon for the usefulness of chemical software in facilitating the teaching of science in classrooms.
