Hi all,

If you visit the following page and click on "visualize the structure" (the fourth bullet), you'll see a Jmol applet pop out and the lattice structure of CaCO3 (calcium carbonate crystal) with all atoms showing at least one bond to another atom.

However, downloading the xyz file and opening it in Jmol.app, the calcium atoms are not bound to any other atoms.


I imagine that they may be using an early version of Jmol, but on my machine I cannot access the Jmol menu (Mac OSX v10.4.4, Safari v2) in the above web page to see what version it is. Is there a known reason that an earlier version might show bonds that a later version does not? My main concern is that I wish to show the fully bonded lattice, and I would appreciate any suggestions or help that people have.

Thanks,
Frieda
