Molecular Orbital Theory And Polyatomic Molecules | A Hand Wavy Guide
Molecular orbital theory is a power tool used by chemists to explain certain phenomena that cannot be easily rationalized by other bonding models. However, as the number of atoms in a molecule increases so too does the complexity involved in calculating a the molecular orbitals. In this video we will go over the basics of molecular orbital theory before crossing over into the more complex world of molecules with three or more atoms. 00:00 Intro 00:40 Basic molecular orbital theory 03:35 Heterodinuclear molecules 05:45 Carbon dioxide 08:37 Water 12:32 Methane 14:42 Outro Correction: 3:23 the oxygen diagram is for singlet oxygen (lowest excited state), the triplet ground state has the two electrons unpaired.
