Ch 8 Chemical Bonding 1

The first video is an introduction to ionic bonding.  It also discusses lattice energy and the energetics behind ionic bonding between a metal and nonmetal.



The second video of chapter 8 is an introduction to covalent bonding (primarily seen between nonmetals).  This video discusses electronegativity, perhaps the single most important concept to learn in gen chem in order to prepare for organic chem and biochemistry!  Make sure you understand it




The third video covers Lewis structures and formal charges of atoms in a molecule.




The fourth video in this series discusses resonance structures, which are important in explaining when multiple Lewis structures occur.  Sometimes the "actual" structure of the molecule or ion is a mixture of two or more Lewis structures.



The fifth video covers violations to the octet rule in molecular structures.
