Multiple Covalent Bonds: The Power of Double and Triple Bonds

The video tutorial explains the concept of multiple bonds, including double and triple bonds. It describes how oxygen forms a double bond by sharing two electron pairs, and how nitrogen forms a triple bond by sharing three electron pairs. The concept of an incomplete octet is introduced, where the central atom has fewer than eight electrons. Examples include beryllium and boron, which do not satisfy the octet rule due to their limited valence electrons.
