Lecture 005: Molecular Orbitals and Polarity

We finished up molecular orbitals with the sp hybrid in acetylene and looked at predicting molecular shape from hybridization. We examined the rigidity of double bonds leading to geometrical isomers (in contrast to constitutional isomers). Polar and non polar molecules were analysed based on the summation of their polar bonds.
