Lecture
This lecture covers the fundamental rules of chemical bonding, focusing on the byte rule for second-period elements and the stability of constitutional isomers. It discusses the relative stability of different structures, the energy profile of reactions, and the role of solvents and conditions in chemical reactions. The lecture also delves into the concepts of nucleophiles and electrophiles, explaining how electron flow determines reactivity. Various types of covalent bonds are explored, along with their polarization and impact on molecule properties. Examples and comparisons between different molecules help illustrate these concepts.
