4448 L28 sp3 Hybrid Orbitals Do Not Exist (Sorry) 2024

DW Compares Local Bond Theory to Molecular Orbital theory. Photoelectron spectroscopy shows that sp hybrids do not exist at all. He also discusses how we evaluate theories and how we scope them to use them only in the domains where they are valid.
Background
These are videos of Dr. Williams’ CHEM Physical Chemistry Lectures at Sam Houston State University. They are provided for your benefit for studying if you are a student or for your curiosity if you are not a student.
This course is the Quantum Mechanics and Spectroscopy Course. DW teaches this course in a unique way with emphasis on the spectroscopy of the 1D Particle in a Box system and the early introduction of symmetry for interpreting spectroscopic results.
