In the first mini-lecture, we define what a bond is. Are bonds static, or are they dynamic – moving about space more freely than a drawing of it might predict? We also define it by looking at the energetics when two atoms are brought closer and closer together. This is defined as Coulomb’s Law. Then, we preview some of the topics that employ the knowledge taught in these lectures such as infrared spectroscopy and conformational analysis.
