18 Electron Rule
0:26
The rule that replaces the octet rule when
talking about transition metals. Transition
metals tend to have 18 electrons around their
atoms instead of only 8.

Reflection Plane
0:19
When you apply an imaginary mirror to a
molecule so that the molecule shows the same
thing on both sides of the mirror.
Everything must be the same, even down to the
bond angles.
