13. Hybridization (Intro to Solid-State Chemistry)
But back to MO Theory, which is where what we talked about last Friday. And there are sort of two last things I wanted to mention now related to MO Theory before moving on to the topic of hybridization. Now, before I do that, you know, I'm going to use a couple of videos today and I'm-- I'm not going to show you this one, but I just want to mention there's lots of videos that help, you know, animate this stuff, right? So like this is what-- so like-- Oh, OK. [VIDEO PLAYBACK] Bonding molecular orbital. [END PLAYBACK] Antibonding, we talked about this last Friday. But look at this animation. I couldn't do that on the board. Watch this. [VIDEO PLAYBACK] Antibonding molecular orbital formed by the combination of two 1s orbitals are called sigma 1s and sigma star 1s respectively. [END PLAYBACK] Kind of remembering stuff now, right, from Friday? [VIDEO PLAYBACK] The bonding molecular-- Oh, look at that. -- is lower in energy than the original [INAUDIBLE].. [...
