Orthogonal Molecular Orbitals

[@chimkens]

This is so good! Had no idea what my professor was talking about and this cleared it up all the way!

What a wonderful channel. Thank you so much.

its great,orthogonality can better be understand by inner product in mathematics,orthogonality applications in sine and cosine functions,as sine and cos are orthogonal to each other,orthogonality in vectors, i am a student of physics but it cleared me the application of orthogonality in bonding,thanks to AK LECTURES

The statement at 5:10 about the orthogonal approach may be probably needed to revise -- would it appear in sp2 hybridized orbitals?

[@prithviking98]

may i suggest you give a slightly detailed list of what topics are being covered in the video, in the desription

[@dianapenaran5769]

Great Explanation!👏

AK LECTURES, what are the dimensions of the nodal plane? can the electron go around it? question 2: what happens if the electron spins of both approaching hydrogen electrnns have electron spins of + 1/2, will one of them change its spin? what kind of relationship will they have?

I'm a bit confused on what it means to be a + and - orbital? How does that come about?

[@AKLECTURES]

Hi! Great question! The negative and positive signs come from quantum mechanics. According to quantum mechanics, any electron can be described by using a mathematical equation that resembles a wave and this is called the wave function. The wave function has regions that are above the x-axis (positive) and below the x-axis (negative). The atomic orbital is simply another word for this wave function for electron on that atom. So when you draw the atomic orbital, the green region represents the positive portion of the wave function while the blue represents the negative portion. Hope that helped!

+Lena Zakharova What he means by the "positive" orbital is in terms of wave I think. So when the orbitals are in resonance of each other they form molecular orbitals and when they are out of resonance they are anti.

Hey just discovering your channel and I love your lectures thank you very much! :) just a little concern I see you have videos that follow in series as like this video is the third of the series on molecular orbitals but unfortunately on each video it is hard to find which one will be the next so I was wondering if there either was a playlist for these videos or links to the next video?
