This project was preformed to supply Libretext Authors with videos on General Chemistry topics which can be used to enhance their projects. Also, these videos are meant to act as a learning resource for all General Chemistry students.
Video Topics
Valence Bond Method: Describes covalent bonding in terms of atomic orbitals. Covalent bonds forms when the orbitals of two atoms overlap and are occupied by a pair of electrons.The shapes of the orbitals come from the wave functions discussed in quantum numbers. Hybridization: The reforming of atomic orbitals into hybrid orbitals. Hybridization results in greater orbital overlap and stronger bonds and explains observed molecular shapes. s + 3 p → 4 sp3 orbitals. The term sp3 shows that the hybrid orbitals are 25% s and 75 % p.
