    Abstract: The frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) of stearic and linoleic acids were simulated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G*basis set level with the use of Spartan ’10 wave function software with a view to comparing their reactivity and stability based on some theoretically calculated parameters. The total energy (absolute... Show More
