All About Chemical Bonding Covalent

In this programme we look at covalent bonding. A short summary as to why bonding occurs is presented before viewers witness how electors are shared in covalent compounds. We discuss how the geometry of molecules is predicted by the valence shell electron air repulsion (VSEPR) theory, the two types of weak forces of attraction between moleculres, dipole interactions and dispersion forces, and covalent network solids which are formed from carbon atoms. Examples of network solids are addressed including diamond, graphite, and fullerenes. With the assistance of animated graphics, this programme provides viewers with a wonderful introduction to chemical bonding.
