Electronic Structure of Atoms: Ionization and Chemical Bonds

This lecture covers the electronic structure of atoms, focusing on ionization energy and chemical bonding. Topics include the energy required to remove electrons, ionization potential, electron affinity, hardness and softness of substances, and interactions between atoms. The lecture also discusses quantum numbers, atomic orbitals, and factors affecting electron energy. Additionally, it explores the formation of chemical bonds through electron sharing and the differences in electronegativity. Examples of ionic and covalent bonds are provided, along with the characteristics of ionic compounds and the enthalpy associated with their formation.
