"Atomic structure" has come to suggest the structure of the atom (cf nuclear structure). "Chemical structure" invokes 2D drawings showing chemical connectivity, bond-types etc but not the 3D structure. "Crystal structure" is the correct term, since almost all of the structures displayed by jmol are structures obtained from crystals or polycrystals (using x-rays, neutrons, NMR...). But perhaps "crystal structure" doesn't sound modern enough :-) so I have no problem with including "chemical", "biomolecular", or even "nano-something" in there. But #6 would get my vote for now. Jmol is very powerful for showing the coordination and topology of all kinds of mineral and other inorganic structures, which are usually not molecular.
Alan.
