Valence Bond Theory, Hybrid Orbitals, and Molecular Orbital Theory

The video explains molecular orbitals, starting with atomic orbitals and their hybridization into molecular orbitals. It covers the formation of covalent bonds, using hydrogen as an example, and discusses the conservation of orbitals. The concept of hybridization is explored with carbon, detailing sp3, sp2, and sp hybridized orbitals. The video also demonstrates how to use orbital diagrams to calculate bond order, using examples like H2, O2, and N2.
