This program considers the bonds formed when atoms share electrons (covalent bonding). The idea of filling electron shells to reach a more stable state is used to explain the formation of simple molecules such as water and methane. Shapes of molecules are explained by considering the repulsion between molecular orbitals. Further shapes are illustrated using CH4, NH3, and NH4. Double bonds (O2) and triple bonds (N2) are introduced. More complex molecules and methods used to simplify diagrams of molecules are discussed using glucose as an example. (17 minutes)

		Atoms and Molecules In this concise and logically formatted program, students discover the fundamental building blocks of the universe: the elements. Lively computer animation makes the atom and its constituent parts-the proton, neutron, and electron-easy to understand....(more details)		DVD $99.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $149.93 3-Year Streaming $99.95
		Bonding Between Molecules In this program, bonding is explained in terms of dipole-dipole bonding for polar molecules, and dispersion forces for both polar and nonpolar molecules. Changes of state for water are examined, and the decreased density of ice when compared with liq...(more details)		DVD $99.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $149.93 3-Year Streaming $99.95
		Ionic Bonding This program uses the idea of filling electron shells to explain the formation of cations and anions. Electrostatic forces are then used to explain lattice formation, and the relationship between properties and structure is examined. Ionic bonding is...(more details)		DVD $99.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $149.93 3-Year Streaming $99.95
		Bonding in Metals This program begins with an examination of atomic structure-presented in terms of protons, neutrons, and electrons-and the idea that bonding is related to the filling of electron shells to create more stable particles. Examples of metals and their us...(more details)		DVD $99.95 DVD + 3-Year Streaming $149.93 3-Year Streaming $99.95
