Molecular Orbital Diagram 1b

[Raytoolification]

Hi Professor, your videos are thoroughly explained and easy to understand for people like me who don't always see where things are coming from. I go to a university in Atlantic Canada where the profs are shit at teaching!! I learn 5 times more from watching your videos than going to lecture! Thumbs up people if you agree!!

[anfro18]

you are...by far...better than my chemistry professor. I feel like I should just use the topic she provides and come to you for the actual explanation.

Great job, curious question though

Anything that has a star (whether sigma/pi) is considered antibonding?

[EnderlePhD]

@anfro18 Thanks.

Yes, a star designates an antibonding level.

I can't stress enough how good your teaching skills are. It makes me sad that I have to go back to my professor that can't make us understand in 6h of lectures during the week what your video can teach in 10min. You should teach professors how to teach.

Great Video Sir, It help me a lot

[tehmadbeserker]

after watching this video i feel like i can give my chem test a falcon pawnch and end up with an A

[TrendSettingDJ]

I wish I could give you an award.

[michdarb]

beyond helpful. Thank you very much!

[myqthunni]

Very helpful video, THANKS!!

pichure :D

THX~

Thank You so much for your clear and concise explanation on drawing the molecular orbital diagrams! The inorganic chemistry textbook didn't have any thorough examples of how to draw them.  THANKS!!!

[kekothegeko]

My text book shows the 2pi bond before the 2sigma bond in the diagram...does this matter? so in order of the MO levels I have 2 pi, 2 sigma, 2*pi, 2*sigma .....I hope my question is clear.

[EnderlePhD]

@kekothegeko Those levels may switch depending on the energetics of the molecule. Typically, Li2 to N2 will have the pi orbitals at lower energy and O2 to Ne2 will have sigma orbitals at lower energy.

I F**KING LOVE YOU MAN ! no one could explain it to me and you did it in 5 mins! :D

[Turquesai]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. My textbook sucks at explaining it... and during my lecture, it didn't make any sense. Thank you!

[oMissyChrissyo]

thanks alot, cleared up alot

[jellygopher]

This helped alot! Thanks. :)

[EOuss]

Absolutely Incredible.

[hssthejinj]

you're awesome

[olliea12]

awesome :) thank you so much!!!

[olliea12]

you are awesome :)

[1TicklemeTimbers1]

You're amazing. I wish my lecturer was like you! DAMMIT! :(

[larazhere]

wow this helped me so much, thanks

[MegaStevoMan]

thanks this video is very clear and helpful and saved me a lot of time

[boggienyc]

Thank you so much for this explanation! It is great!

[aolaolaol1]

really good stuff!!!

[TheBottomContributor]

Aggie Alum here. Thanks for the video. Wish I had taken your class.

[Gabbaz18]

Thankyou.

[mweezy892]

thnx for this video :) i finally understood wat MO diagrams are all about!!!

[FunkkkShawn]

I watched both of your lectures on this. But I think you made a mistake on this one. On the 2Pi and 2Sigma, shouldn't they be switched?

[EnderlePhD]

I didn't notice anything I missed. Can you be more specific or give the time where the confusion arises?

[us3rn4m310]

@EnderlePhD Although the comment by FunkkkShawn was posted a long time ago, I just want to clarify that he was talking about the orbitals you filled from 3:52 to 4:00. In your Molecular Orbital Diagram 2b video, you have the σ2p and π2p orbitals switched (σ2p is on top of π2p in the other video). I believe the other video is correct because the σ2p should have more energy than the π2p and thus it should be above of π2p as energy increases.

[strata88]

Thanks for this video, very clear and easy to understand
