Limitations of VSEPR Theory
We've learned about VSEPR theory, and we know how to use it to predict molecular geometry for a variety of organic molecules. But in fact, there are situations where predictions made with VSEPR theory do not line up with experimental...

Ligand Field Theory and the Jahn-Teller Effect
Before we can discuss the types of reactions that transition metal complexes can participate in, we need to discuss more of their properties. In this video, we will review the Crystal Field Theory and build on it to explore the Ligand...

Covalent Bond Energy and Length
We've already learned about different types of chemical bonds, including covalent bonds. But now that we know about enthalpy, and orbitals, and some other concepts, let's revisit the covalent bond and dig a little deeper.

Periodic Table Part 5: Carbon Group (C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Fl)
It's time to check out Group 14 on the periodic table, the carbon group. This includes carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium. What can we say about their properties, reactivities, and applications? Let's find out!

Examples of s-p Mixing in Molecular Orbital Theory
Admittedly, my prior tutorial on MO theory was a little confusing, and had some errors. I wanted to make things right, so here's another one! This will clarify some of the basic concepts, and will also extend them to discuss a new...

Types of Bonding in Transition Metal Systems and Simple Ligands
Now that we've made it through the periodic table, it's time to look at transition metals and the coordination compounds they can form. What types of ligands can they interact with, and how? What shapes do they make? There is so much to...

More Complex Ligands in Organometallic Chemistry
We've covered the basics regarding ligands that can be found in transition metal complexes. But it gets quite a bit trickier than that. What about polyhapto ligands? Bridging ligands? Polydentate ligands? What could all of this mean?...

Quantum Numbers, Atomic Orbitals, and Electron Configurations
Orbitals! Oh no. They're so weird. Don't worry, nobody understands these in first-year chemistry. You just pretend to, and then in second-year you learn them a little better, the following year a little better, and once you have a PhD...
