We never had to learn the details about electron configurations or how everything looked in detail, only to understand the most important concepts (like WHY in a hydridization the geometry and orbital overlapping appears as it does etc.)
In pretty much every science subject understanding is the most important thing. Way too many people too much about and obsess about details, while missing the grand picture. If you understand the process, you can most of the time deduct yourself to the details.
Isn't this video mistaken? The 2s AO electrons have nothing to do with the 2p sigma MOs.... and vica versa. It just adds more arrows and is even more confusing. (at 1.08 you can clearly see what I mean).
I don't know about you guys but looking at a video with no sound and a bunch of fucked up lines and bubbles sure helps me understand the subject much better...
Seriously, this seems like a video you should be watching under the influence of chemical substances.. not to try and learn about them.
this is beautiful because it is accurate and informative. i would like to know where you found this if you did not make this yourself.
often, chemistry sources do not include this detail and it is frustrating. that is why i try to form orgaanic species in my head. thank you for this ray of light.
MO theory confuses the hell outta me. Visual representations like this is what ive been looking for but without any explanation I dont know what Im looking at. It would be helpful if you verbally describe everything thats going on in this animation.
@Troidi The two degenerate pi-molecular orbials (MOs) lie alongside (not in) the internuclear axis, like the bun around a hot dog. The 3-sigma MO, however, lies in the internuclear axis (the hot dog itself, so to speak); it is made by overlapping the two p(z) atomic orbitals (electron densities). But since four other electrons occupy the space between the two atoms (two in the bonding 1-sigma MO and two in the anti-bonding 2-sigma MO), the interaction is not as stabilizing as the pi-bond MOs.
It's incredibly important to remember that orbitals are just a representation of probability- not a reality in and of themselves. Thinking about it as a model helps one to look at bonding more abstractly and makes everything so much cooler.
@Karsenosaurus Molecular orbitals are both real and probability densities. Read the "Burgi-Dunitz angle" on Wikipedia for proof. Notice that the ideal angle (107 deg) is determined by the peculiar shape and orientation of an EMPTY molecular orbital on the carbonyl carbon atom (the LUMO). MO theory exists because it is required to describe/model what actually happens in the universe. Penicillin, for example, works because the ring keeps the carbonyl open to attack at 107 deg.
I bet some this makes total sense to some people

The relativ atom mass is to handel with (g/mol=x*10^-36) for the exactly molecularmass and so the exactly ratio.
Example: The molecular mass divide by the number of atoms and then to ratiomasses you want.
