Prediction of surface atoms in molecule from its graph
If we are given a molecular graph i.e. al the atoms involved and their connectivity, how can we make reasonable prediction if the atom would lie in the surface or in the inner part. On way might be ...

Approximation of electron density of a small molecule
Starting point for Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (AIM) is the electron density $\rho(r)$. It could be determined experimentally (X-ray diffractions). I want to know how can we estimate them ab ...
