Advanced General Chemistry I: Chemical Bonding

This lecture covers advanced topics in general chemistry, focusing on chemical bonding. It discusses valence configurations, hybridization, forms of carbon, double bonds, aromatic bonds, metallic bonding, intermolecular interactions, and hydrogen bonding. The instructor explains the concepts of ion-dipole forces, dipole-dipole forces, London forces, and hydrogen bonding in detail, emphasizing their impact on molecular properties. The lecture also delves into the prediction of ionic or covalent character in bonds, Lewis structures, resonance, formal charges, and molecular polarity. Additionally, it explores the structure of molecules through hybrid orbitals and molecular orbital diagrams.
