Introduction: Em Am C D Em Am C D
Em Am C D
A dot isn't the best way to try to sum up how electrons come and go
Em Am C D
They are the states of a matter field that follows an equation that Dirac wrote
Em Am C D
The Schroedinger part of the whole equation will just lead in sub-c when it expands
Em Am C D
Now get that Coulomb and add it in with a proton and watch them start to dance
n.c.
Em Am
"Oh proton I feel your tug
C D Em
Central potential dip down pulling on me
Am
But I'm not falling in deep
C D
No that would break uncertainty"
Em Am
Say oh electrons move too much
C D Em
Slow down your pace and put that orbit on me
Am
Come on now, follow my lead
C
Come&mdash come on now, follow my lead
Em Am C
Orbitals take the shape they do
D Em
As stable states of the quantum rules
Am C
And when a one approaches two
D
They combine and they're bonding
Em Am C
Thus, hydrogen as a rule
Em
Is found in nature as H2
Am C
Energy configuring a molecule
D
Diatomically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Diatomically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Diatomically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Diatomically bonding
Em Am C
Energy configuring a molecule
D
When orbitals take the shape they do
Em Am
One half spin will give a lepton a twin
C D
One up one down in the ground state
Em Am
With S and P in quadruple degeneracy
C D
The second shell can be filled up with eight
Em Am
The higher angular powers spread out like beautiful flowers
C D
In middle families, they come into play
Em Am
Well here's a carbon with 6 e- this ain't nothing tricksy
C D
But we're gonna make some methane today
n.c.
Em Am
"Oh atoms I feel your tug
C D Em
Got my electrons bugged out pulling on me
Am
Come on now settle round me
C D
I'll hybridize to SP3"
Em Am
Say oh, Carbon here's our touch
C D Em
Spread out one-oh-nine-point-four-seven degrees
Am
Come on now follow our lead
C D
Come come on now follow our lead
Em Am C
Molecules take the shape they do
D Em
Combining states of the quantum rules
Am C
Like when a shell goes SP2
D
For sigma pi double bonding
Em Am C
And as widely as their purview
D Em
They spread out in the molecule
Am C
Look at benzene in a ring, they hold it true
D
Aromatically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Aromatically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Aromatically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Aromatically bonding
Em Am C
Look at benzene in a ring, they hold it true
D
When orbitals take the shape they do
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
Em Am C
Polymers take the shape they do
D Em
Combining base-level residues
Am C
Like RNA's ACGU
D Em
Look they're hydrogen bonding!
Am C
Peptides make a chain and group
D Em
In beta pleat sheets and corkscrews
Am C
With these secondary links they fold and move
D
They're all over your body
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
Em Am C
You're a chemical machine, it's best you knew
D Em
That molecules take the shape of you
