Covalent, Dative and Metallic Bonding
When neither atom will let go, they share. When there are too many to share, they pool.

- 3 Shapes of Molecules (VSEPR Theory)Electron pairs push each other as far apart as they can, and that one idea predicts every shape. · 10 min
- 4 Bond Polarity and Intermolecular ForcesWhy water boils at 100 °C when it 'should' boil far below zero, and how DNA zips and unzips. · 14 min
