• An overview of covalent compounds:  An overview of all of the topics below.
• Properties of covalent compounds:  Find out how covalent bonding makes covalent compounds behave much differently than their ionic buddies.
• Covalent compound structure and properties:  A visual description of how the properties of covalent compounds are due to its molecular structure, for those of you who love PowerPoints.
• The Uneasy Friendship Between Fluorine and His Twin PowerPoint:  Can clip art change the world?  No.  Can a PowerPoint describing two fluorine atoms as insane lunatics help you learn about covalent bonding?  It very well might!
• Naming covalent compounds:  After naming ionic compounds, this’ll be a breeze!
• Simple Lewis structures:  This method is guaranteed to help you figure out how to draw the Lewis structures of just about every covalent compound you’ll be likely to bump into.
• Lewis structures of ions:  It’s like the last tutorial, except that ions have a few special rules.  No sweat – you’ve got this.
• Drawing Lewis Structures PowerPoint:  Again, the magical world of PowerPoint presentations can help you to become a better chemist!
• Resonance structures:  What they are, how to draw them, what they mean.
• VSEPR theory:  It sounds awful, but it turns out that VSEPR theory really isn’t all that bad. An added bonus:  A flow chart that makes it nearly impossible to get it wrong!
• VSEPR PowerPoint:  It’s like the tutorial on VSEPR above, but with more pictures.

Supplemental videos:  These videos are all over at the amazing Crash Course YouTube channel.  I didn’t make these, though I wish I did.

• Crash Course Chemistry – Polar and nonpolar molecules – What makes them polar or nonpolar, and why does this matter?
• Crash Course Chemistry – Bonding models and Lewis structures – Let’s get into the Lewis structure stuff, and learn why we care.
• Crash Course Chemistry – Orbitals – So, why do we have hybridization and bonding and stuff like that?  Learn about the amazing lives of orbitals.
