This lecture begins by applying the united-atom "plum-pudding" view of molecular orbitals, introduced in the previous lecture, to more complex molecules. It then introduces the more utilitarian concept of localized pairwise bonding between atoms. Formulating an atom-pair molecular orbital as the sum of atomic orbitals creates an electron difference density through the cross product that enters upon squaring a sum. This "overlap" term is th...more

Professor Sylvia Ceyer introduces transition metals and the formation of coordination complexes. The Chelate effect is defined and the difference between geometric isomers and optical isomer (enantiomers) is discussed. The discussion concludes with d orbitals and d-electron counting in coordination complexes.
