Molecular Orbital theory can be one of the most complicated and frustrating topics to study in chemistry, especially when the focus is on the math and physics behind it. This video offers a logical overview of HOMO and LUMO molecular orbitals, especially as it applies to conjugated systems in organic chemistry reactions and mechanisms. You’ll learn how to draw and understand MO diagrams for systems with more than two electrons in molecular orbitals through the use of a simple analogy.
In this video:
[0:37] Description of HOMO and LUMO
[2:36] Electrons in the Highest and Lowest Energy
[5:16] Alignment and Flow of Electrons
[8:25] Understanding HOMO and LUMO Concept
