Chemical Bonding: Structure and Properties

This lecture covers the fundamentals of chemical bonding, including polar and apolar bonds, the VSEPR model, and the structure of carbon allotropes. It also discusses the hybridization of orbitals, aromatic bonds, and exceptions to the octet rule. The properties of metallic materials, alloys, and the metallic bond are explained, along with the structure of ionic solids. Additionally, it explores the prediction of bond character, molecular shapes, and the construction of molecular orbitals diagrams.
