TOPIC 7: Configuration Diagram Glyphs for Atoms →  [DOWNLOAD]

an introduction to glyphs

TOPIC 8: Polarization of Electrons in Orbitals

lays groundwork for understanding how orbitals shift during bond formation

TOPIC 9: The Nature of Chemical Bonds

the connection between bonding and potential energy curves

TOPIC 10: Chemical Bonding in H2

MO vs GVB perspective; E-E, N-N, E-N contributions to the hamiltonian

TOPIC 11: Types of Chemical Bonds

non-polar and polar covalent bonds, ionic bonds, dative bonds, recoupled pair bonds

TOPIC 12: Families of Related Compounds

atom-by-atom construction of OHn and O2Hn compounds

TOPIC 13: Recoupled Pair Bonding in Carbon and Nitrogen

atom-by-atom construction of CHn compounds, RPB in HNC, etc.

TOPIC 14: Recoupled Pair Bonding in Sulfur, Phosphorus, and Chlorine

atom-by-atom construction of SFn compounds, some P and Cl compounds

TOPIC 15: Dative Bonding

protonation, exotic compounds, oxyacids, complex cations

TOPIC 16: Recoupling in Chemical Reactions

recoupling in transition states
