Overview
Three theories of bonding were presented in this module: Lewis bonding, valence-bond theory (VBT) and molecular orbital theory (MO). Summarize each of these. Do a little research in your textbook and perhaps from an online source to fill in the gaps from the lecture. When should each model be used, if ever?
Next, take a stance on this statement: "The molecular orbital theory of bonding is superior and chemists should abandon VBT and Lewis bonding." Do you agree or disagree? Why? Provide at least one example to support your claim.
