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

Second row elements: MO's created with p atomic orbitals are more complex. Each element has a 2s and 3 2p atomic orbitals in their valence. 6 p atomic orbitals combine to create 6 molecular orbitals. The p orbitals form both sigma & pi molecular orbitals. The energy level for sigma 2p & pi 2p are very similar and can change position depending on the Z values of the atoms involved.
