My instructor has his Ph.D in these transition metals however I'd much rather him lecture on nuclear theory than transition metals for our last chapter. Nuclear reactions are more interesting.
Very helpful.. I hope you can introduce the bonding in the representative elements, ( the S and P orbitals), in one of your videos.. that would be a perfect match for someone to achieve a better understanding before jumping on these D orbitals videos..Thanks Dr Wight for helping us.
Dr. Wight, Why do we study this, along with organic chem in gen chem 2 if we're going to look at it later anyway. Because I'm really not getting this even though I've been reading the book for a while now. Besides, It's completely different material than what we've seen already. I mean, this has no connection what so ever with kinetics or equilibrium, at least when it comes down to calculations. I'm afrid of not doing good on the final just because of this. What do you think i should do.
Hi. General Chemistry is designed to be an introduction and overview for many different types of chemistry. The sections on equilibrium and thermo are largely physical chem. The organic chem is focused on the many ways that carbon forms mostly covalent bonds. Metals are special because the d orbitals give them lots of flexibility to make/break bonds and act as catalysts. Try to outline these specialty chapters on organic and transition metals to learn just the major points.
i need u in my uni :(

This is good,
