Higher Chemistry Bonding in Elements 1
Channel: Andrew Hay
Date: 2020-05-16

Our first look at bonding in elements. Metals and monatomic gases are in this one, along with a look at London dispersion forces. [SQA p42-44 and 49 Scholar Unit 1 p100-103]
Does anything hold atoms of group 8/0 gases together, or are they destined to fly apart from each other eternally into the infinite velvet blackness of the void until the universe ends?
A bit over-dramatic, granted, but still a valid question that's answered in this video.
