“Introduction to Bonding Theory”
Description:
With atoms and molecules seamlessly floating and interacting with background shots filmed around the world (in the Amazon Rainforest, Hawaii, and other exotic locations) students learn bonding principles for ionic and covalent bonds and rules for drawing Lewis structures. In addition, there is a bonus chapter detailing Lewis structures for over forty organic molecules. Uniquely presented, this DVD has been labeled “a must have” to enhance a student’s understanding of bonding theory and how to draw Lewis structures in a logical, step-wise manner. Runtime: 46 Minutes

Chapter Contents:
Chapter 1: Why and How a Bond will Form, Predicting Formation of an Ionic, Covalent, and Polar Covalent Bond from Differences of Electronegativity Values, Electronegativity Values and Periodic Trends, Relating Full Valency to Abbreviated Electron Configurations, Internuclear Distance vs. Energy Diagrams, Bond Distances, Dipoles, Shielding and De-shielding
Chapter 2: Lewis Dot Diagrams, Rules for Drawing Lewis Structures, Octet and Duet Rule, Single, Double, and Triple Bond, Many Examples Worked for the Student.
Chapter 3: General Rules and Exceptions to the Octet Rule, Many Examples for Exceptions to the Octet Rule.
Chapter 4: Organic Compounds, Alternate Approach to Drawing Lewis Structures, Calculating Number of Bonds Needed for an Atom, Constitutional or Structural Isomers, Geometric Isomers (E and Z), Cahn-Ingold Prelog Sequence Rules, Degrees of Unsaturation to Develop a Logical Step-Wise Approach to Drawing all Isomers, Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Cyclic and Acyclic Structures, Deducing Equivalent Hydrogens, Oxygen and Sulfur Insertion, Odd Nitrogen Rule,
Reviews:
Many Professors across the country are stating that Sponholtz Productions has produced significant, novel educational teaching tools for University and High School Chemistry. After all, access to new technologies for visual representations, has afforded a final product that far exceeds anything on the market today. In addition, the trio has acquired award-winning Professor Gordon Gribble, The Professor of Chemistry, Dartmouth College, to narrate the DVDs. Here is what some of the preeminent Professors in the field of Chemistry are saying about Sponholtz Productions’ ground-breaking teaching tools:

“3-dimensionality of representations is excellent.”
Professor Roald Hoffmann, PH.D. (Cornell)
Nobel Prize, Chemistry, 1981

“I looked at it twice, and I love it! Superb graphics, in tune with space age computer games and well paced. I think that this would be a great addition to the teachers' arsenal in teaching chemistry.”
Professor K. Peter Vollhardt, PH.D. (UC, Berkeley)
Author of world-famous college text, Organic Chemistry


“…will help students immensely.” “…the video demonstrates them [three-dimensional representations] exceptionally well.” “I plan to use these DVDs in future classes…”
Journal of Chemical Education, 2011, 88(1), pp 18-21

“The graphics are awesome. Overall, I like it and would advise beginning students to purchase it or view it.”
Professor James J. Worman, PH.D. (RIT)
