Georgia Public Broadcasting Video Lectures
This public station has an entire high school level chemistry course online. This is not an honors-level course
like ours but the videos are useful nonetheless. Each video is a 30 minute lecture on a very specific topic. If
you want to try their note-taking system for the lecture, print out the “Note Taking Guide” on the page.
501: Introduction to Bonding (Covers both ionic and covalent bonding.)
502: The World of Atoms is Not Enough - Bonding Part II
503: Molecular Geometry

Bonding & Polarity (26:12)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faa5oHr8i8w
Curtin's Head of Chemistry Professor Mark Buntine talks about the various forms of bonding, including covalent, ionic,
and metallic bonding, and also examines important concepts such as electronegativity.
He also explains the various methods available to determine the shape and polarity of a molecule, including Lewis
Structures and VESPR, and how exactly to apply them.

JUNIOR CHEMISTRY
Chemical Bonding 1 - teaches electronegativity and polarity
Chemical Bonding 2 - draws Lewis electron dot diagrams
Chemical Bonding 3 - gives all the basic shapes for 4, 3, and 2 effective pairs around the central atom
AP CHEMISTRY
Note: Those planning on taking the AP test need to know the concept of formal charge and its use in choosing the best
possible Lewis structure. This is not covered in our course or in our book.
Chem Bonding 2 - instructs on formal charge calculation and resonance
Chem Bonding 3 - gives the shapes for 5 effective pairs.
Chem Bonding 4 - gives all the shapes for 6 effective pairs
Chem Bonding 6 – teaches bond hybridization
