Lewis Structure (6): Nitrite ion

[IceCipriani21]

OMG THANK YOU!!!!!!! MY CHEMIST PROFESSOR CAN'T EVEN TEACH US THIS SIMPLE METHOD!!!! she always prefere the more complicated method where you have to guess.

[Sketches8]

you just made ME "happy"

[WhoElse34]

Thank you!

[ravishlystunning]

Awesome :)

[xIKnuckleZIx]

These may be older videos but they are really well explained. Much better than how my professor has explained them. Thanks for these videos.

thank you texas

[XtRedChaos]

GO RAIDERS! (I go to Texas Tech too) :D

You know that you use Formal charge to figure out what structure to use if you have resonance structures.

[valflyinf]

Thanks! Awesome!

[jennyuzzy]

Nice! thank you

[zaloniii]

Hey! Thanks. I got it but I was wondering, what if we join all the three with a single bond? It still gets satisfied with an octet! Would that be wrong?

[julesmasonlynch]

@zaloniii

Do you mean so the two outer oxygen atoms bond in a triangular form? I think that due to the negative charge it can't do that because one of the outer oxygen atoms will no longer have an available bonding electron available. Also, that bond angle is quite constricting, and probably isn't very stable due to steric effects of the nearby atoms

thanks,, that was very good :D

[corkie5555]

thanks! this helped a lot!

[maplestory315]

thank you!

[crucialbilal]

this is making me more confust now my teacher taught it to me a different way but i still ended up with the same answer

[lebowskirulz]

wow, this is sooo much simpler when shown in video than trying to learn it by book. Also doesnt put me to sleep.

[viciousfish012]

Thank you so much!!! I have been struggling with Lewis Structures of ions since grade ten and you have taught me how to draw them in 3 and a half minutes!

[Knhyd]

THANKKK YOUUU <3

[redvsblueviewer]

You make it so much easier to comprehend this since you enunciate everything clearly. Thank you, this helped a lot.

[mhajanssen]

Nice video but you still made a slip of the tongue at 3:00 where you say nitrate instead of nitrite...

[snoopop123]

thanks!

[ss4vegeta1]

Thank You very much.

[babyjebus2]

you teach much better than my chemistry teacher

[romania4uluv]

Unpaired electrons are cool:)):P Can i sound geekier? I guess, geekiest....:))

[sultanthewise]

where's the 1 extra electron came from????

[cydw1987]

aw this is cute!

you should teach o chem in elementary school!

lol

[purehappyheart]

rahaha nerd

[Nes232]

omg, nice video and effort but i want to get to the point :_(

[Blinki18284]

thanks, well done! :-)

[xcguy411]

gahh, i got this wrong on my quiz, wish i saw this last week! good vid

[tuddyfruity4]

This was very helpful. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet on how to draw a basic atom. You explain things very well. Can you do one of just basic chemistry- a basic drawing of an atom?

[maduz]

great...i love you teacher....any more videos? how bout the quantum thingy? how to do dat?

[sweetpapas]

Great video, thanks for the post!

[BryanChabolla]

Thanks you thats really easy the way you choose it.. were were you when i started the school year :P haha thanks you good video :D

[TTUchem1010]

Oops, my mind wandered, and I mispoke at the end of the video. (I accidentally called NO2- nitrate...) NO2- is nitrite NO3- is nitrate. Just checking to see if you're listening. :)

[4evercallalistathea]

i have a question ma'am!

xD

what do you mean "none of those atoms are happy?"

:)

[slyester33]

@4evercallalistathea They dont have 8 valence electrons.
