Structure and bonding form the foundation of organic chemistry. This unit explores how atoms connect through various types of bonds, from covalent to ionic, and how these connections influence molecular geometry and properties. Understanding structure and bonding is crucial for predicting molecular behavior. We'll examine concepts like electronegativity, Lewis structures, VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion), Molecular Orbital Theory, Electronegativity and Bond Polarity and hybridization, which help explain how molecules form and interact in the world around us.
