Abstract This article addresses the abstract and difficult to understand concepts in the first chapter of structural chemistry,which covers the fundamentals of quantum mechanics.Considering the characteristics of students' knowledge structure,it proposes to visualize familiar knowledge for students,thereby introducing new concepts.We also explain experimental phenomena and clarify computational results in a graphical manner,effectively reducing the difficulty for students to learn the theoretical framework of quantum mechanics.On this basis,by using a comparative approach,from macroscopic objects to microscopic particles,and from Newtonian mechanics to quantum mechanics,students can understand the basic concepts and framework structure of quantum mechanics in the same way they understand the motion characteristics of macroscopic objects in Newtonian mechanics,and learn to naturally apply the theory of quantum mechanics to consider the motion of particles in the microscopic world.
