Abstract:
The contributions of early British colonial and German scientists to the elucidation of the nature of spirochaetes, are contrasted. Recently, after a lapse of nearly three-quarters of a century, there has been a revival of interest by German microbiologists in investigating the borreliae.

01:18Structure of Benzene: Molecular Orbital Model
According to the molecular orbital (MO) model, benzene has a planar structure with a regular hexagon of six sp2 hybridized carbons. As shown in Figure 1, each carbon is bonded to three other atoms with C–C–C and H–C–C bond angles of 120°. The C–H bond length is 109 pm, and the C–C bond length is 139 pm which is midway between the single bond length of sp3 hybridized carbons (154 pm) and sp2 hybridized carbons (133 pm).
03:02The Aufbau Principle and Hund's Rule
To determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can build the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the aufbau principle, from the German word aufbau (“to build up”). Each added electron occupies the subshell of...
