This paper explores the use of the Python language and scientific computing libraries to visualize the wave functions and electron clouds of common hydrogen atomic s and p orbitals in structural chemistry. Multiple scripts have been developed in this process, employing data processing and various generation algorithms to achieve the visualization of wave functions and electron clouds. The aim is to guide students in a comprehensive study and understanding of the physical significance of wave functions and electron clouds. This approach enhances students’ abilities for independent thinking and active learning.
