Inert pair effect and bonding: Carbon vs Lead
Google ClassroomDescription
In this video, we will compare the bonding preferences in carbon with that of lead and try to understand why lead does not prefer to form covalent bonds in general, using the inert pair effect.

00:00 - Recap of inert pair effect.
01:56 - Covalent bonding in carbon
03:06 - Consequence of inert pair effect in lead.
03:40 - Why lead does not prefer covalent bonding.
