Description

Understanding the nature of the chemical bond is the key to understanding all chemistry, be it inorganic, physical, organic or biochemistry. This book takes the form of a question and answer tutorial and explores the fundamental concepts of chemical bonding. These range from the nature of the chemical bond, via the regular hexagonal structure of benzene and the nature of the metallic bond. The book offers an approach to quantum chemistry and is based on on the lectures of Professor Jeremy Burdett.

Table of Contents

  • What is the Nature of the Chemical Bond?
  • What is the Basis of the Model We Use to Describe the Orbital Structure of Molecules?
  • Sp3 Hybrids and the Molecular Orbitals of Methane. What's the Difference?
  • Why are the Elements Of the First Short Period, Li-Ne (and the First Row Transition Metals) so Special?
  • Why Does the Molecular Orbital Model Often Give the Wrong Products of Dissociation?
  • How Important are D Orbitals in Main Group Chemistry?
  • What's the Best Way of Looking at The Interaction of Transition Metals?
  • Are Main Group Molecules and Transition Metal Complexes Not So Different After All?
  • What is the Metallic Bond?
  • Is the Electronic Description of Solids just like that for Large Molecules? How Should You Count Electrons in "Electron Deficient" Molecules?
  • Is Delocalization of Electrons Always Stabilizing? Or why is Benzene a Regular Hexagon?
  • What is the Origin of Hnckel's Rule?
  • Is the Jahn Teller Effect as Simple as it Seems?
  • What is the Origin of Steric Repulsion?
  • Why does N2O have the Structure NNO and not NON?
  • What is Behind the VSEPR Scheme?

Description

Inorganic Chemistry This series reflects the breadth of modern research in inorganic chemistry and fulfils the need for advanced texts. The series covers the whole range of inorganic and physical chemistry, solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, main group chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry. Chemical Bonds A Dialog Jeremy K. Burdett The University of Chicago, USA Understanding the nature of the chemical bond is the key to understanding all chemistry, be it inorganic, physical, organic or biochemistry. In the form of a question and answer tutorial the fundamental concepts of chemical bonding are explored. These range from the nature of the chemical bond, via the regular hexagonal structure of benzene and the meaning of the term 'metallic bond', to d-orbital involvement in hypervalent compounds and the structure of N_2O. Chemical Bonds: A Dialog provides * a novel format in terms of a dialog between two scientists * insights into many key questions concerning chemical bonds * an orbital approach to quantum chemistry
