I Expect You to tt Covalent Bonding

This chapter walks you through the evolution of covalent bond theory, starting with the Lewis dot structures you likely covered in General Chemistry and then advancing to valence bond and molecular orbital theories that stem from quantum mechanics calculations. As with most chemistry, this chapter is purely about following the bouncing balls (electrons). 

Remember the head football coach with a whistle round his neck who always had his whiteboard in hand on game day He s going to be our model example of how to draw pictures that represent atoms known as Lewis structures (and a model example of what not to wear on a Friday night).
