import qiskit_acqua_chemistry

# An example of using a loop to vary inter-atomic distance. A dictionary is
# created outside the loop, but inside the loop the 'atom' value is updated
# with a new molecular configuration. The molecule is H2 and its inter-atomic distance
# i.e the distance between the two atoms, is altered from 0.5 to 1.0. Each atom is
# specified by x, y, z coords and the atoms are set on the z-axis, equidistant from
# the origin, and updated by d inside the loop where the molecule string has this value
# substituted by format(). Note the negative sign preceding the first format
# substitution point i.e. the {} brackets
