@rohannesburg Yes....5 bonds.....but they are arranged symmetrically: three bonds are trigonal planar, and the remaining two are linear, with one above the trigonal plane and one below it.
Im a medicine student in Belgium and I find his lecture so easy to understand , he's brilliant! It's a pitty to see only about 16,000 looked at these MIT videos but million looked at Miley Cyrus or Jackass ..
This is the best MIT course I've seen on youtube. Many of them are TERRIBLE (I think of an electrochemistry course lectured by a woman, in particular).
I am a BioChemistry Major at University of California Santa Barbara, my O-chem class professor is pretty good, but damn this guy is the master, and somehow even though he is super fast, he is ridiculously clear in explaining, and super efficient with his choice of words to get the idea to the students, WOW, i wish this was my professor.
I never had this in freshman Chem at Penn State. I don't think I ever encountered anything beyond the 2s2p's, which show up in organic chem. I am thoroughly enjoying all the sciences on You Tube.
However, I did detect an error. The electronic configuration for sulfur is not what is shown. Oxygen is 2s2 2p4. Sulfur is 3s2 3p4. The 2 level has no d, which should have given it away.
Very inspiring teacher, makes you love molecular orbital clouds, but he should definitely cut back on the stimulants around lecture time. I suggest half an Atavan before class to mellow things out, or better yet a joint to relax the nerves. However, mysciencenow may be on to something with the robot theory.
Man I love chemistry my friends think Im a little to smart for my own good.
I'm in 7th grade by the way
I'm good at chemistry

This is soo interesting!, i love this, but i don't get how (IF4)^-, is symmetrical, isn't it assymetrical 5 bonds?

the lectures are very very good. But i just hope that all of the visuals be shown for the purpose of completeness.

This class looks pretty interesting, but i dunno if they offer intro to solid state chemistry at my school : - (
