Capstone: Two Bonding Models Applied to One Molecule
Captions available
The idea
This capstone applies valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory to the same molecule, nitrogen monoxide, NO, showing what each model explains and what each leaves unexplained.
Where people slip
Concluding one model is flatly correct and the other flatly wrong, rather than that each has a domain where it is the more useful tool, contradicts what this course's whole treatment of the two models has shown since Chem 1090.
