Valence Bond Theory: A Journey into Chemical Bonding

The video tutorial explains the valence bond theory proposed by Hitler and London, focusing on the concept of atomic orbital overlap in bond formation. It describes how half-filled atomic orbitals overlap to form covalent bonds, using hydrogen atoms as an example. The tutorial highlights the importance of orbital overlap in reducing energy and forming stable molecules. It also explains the formation of a sigma bond in a hydrogen molecule through axial overlap of atomic orbitals, emphasizing the role of electron cloud concentration in molecular stability.
