Description
Dr. Moore uses the magnetic properties of liquid nitrogen and oxygen to establish the limitations of the electron pair theory of bonding, and demonstates the need for a theory which will explain th...e paramagnetism of oxygen. Dr. Warr uses a series of demonstrations to describe the nature of waves and to establish a way of picturing the electron as a three dimensional wave. Dr. Moore shows how electrons in atoms form sets of atomic orbitals. After a demonstration of how waves interfer constructively and destructively according to their phase, Dr. Moore explains how atomic orbitals combine to form bonding and non-bonding molecular orbitals. Finally the molecular orbital theory of bonding is applied to Oxygen and Nitrogen to explain their different magnetic properties.
