This lecture covers advanced topics in general chemistry, including the periodic table, electronegativity, exceptions to the octet rule, and chemical bonding. It discusses the participation of empty p or d orbitals, hypervalent compounds, and coordination covalent bonds. The lecture also explores radicals, formal charges, and oxidation numbers in molecules, as well as the VSEPR model for molecular shapes.
