[LaSchui]

you just saved my ass. seriously

[shennara123]

my teacher has tried to explain this me a hundred times but this video has helped SO much, thank you!

[26Platinum93]

holy shit man honestli i dont ever subscribe to people but your my first this helped soo muchh

yu are god

[Asmodejj]

Thank you for saving my life, sir.

[iranianboy123]

Thanks !

[winningobonitao1]

THANK YOU! WHY DON"T THEY EXPLAIN IT LIKE THIS DURING LECTURE!

[kanyebeats]

THANK YOU!! I was having so much trouble with this before i came here!

[TheMaherAyash]

AMAZEBALLS !!!! SHPANKS !!!

[Sadie1307]

i love you

[PeteBoxes]

Thanks man, helped me out.



[gingaprincess13]

god bless you for making this and saving me and my friend from failing

[HalSchrieve]

Thanks!

[77DeuceMan]

Thanks Bruh!

[mimimo06]

wow thanx! really helped me to understand better for my upcoming exam! :D

[namelus1isbak]

what about the lone pairs in the last structure, dont they count as high region densities?

[raquelnpalmeira]

@namelus1isbak they are not in the central atom :) it would count id you were determining the hybridazation of oxygen

[scharolia786]

You have no idea how much this helped me! Thank you so much, and yes I have a test tomorrow! lol

[scharolia786]

You have no idea how much this helped me!

[ysaiy]

great video! thanks!!

[DrogbaPT454]

Thanks man. Without you I couldn't have done my chemistry exam! Cheers!

[P0is0n85]

wow, it makes sense now ! thanks great video!

[Izzy67451]

Thank you very much! I was having trouble understanding this concept until I came here.

[CassieLino]

Bless you! :') For some reason I just could not grasp this concept! >_<

[ciaobella918]

you just saved my life

[pseabourn4]

Very helpful thank you : )

[cutiepie2895]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[cokefloatnfries]

superlike! \m/

[viadude2011]

Thank you so much!

[nadinesbamf]

You the best! My textbook just confused me but here you are explaining it simply.

Thank you.

[miimus101]

Thank you for laying this out simply and applicably.

This combined with counting sigma / pi bonds has made hybridization a breeze.

[MrUnladenswallow]

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) chemistry..... WHY U NO MAKE SENSE NO MOAR?

[abbieg103]

Finally! Someone has explained it! :)

[farahzahra22]

why didn't u add the lone pairs in the last example?

[farahzahra22]

why do you put 3 infront of sp2 please answer

[manveers13]

@farahzahra22 cus 1 s and 2 p orbitals add up to total of 3 orbitals

[manveers13]

isnt the formaldehyde sp3 hybridized. cus the oxygen has 2 lone pair of electrons?

[seattlespace98]

@manveers13 That's my question too, I got confused in that part. I don't know what to do with lobe pairs now :/

[seattlespace98]

@seattlespace98 I mean, lone.

[manveers13]

@seattlespace98 yeah i think the shortcut doesnt work on the formaldehyde structure. if it does, why did we count the two lone pairs in water structure as two seperate regions of high electron density.

[seattlespace98]

@manveers13 I read in one of the comments, it's because he's considering carbon as his main/central atom, not oxygen. :) So, he didn't count/considered the lone pairs of oxygen..

[manveers13]

@seattlespace98 oh thanks i guess that clears it up :)

[Hunnymuffin321]

Really helpful ... Thanks !!

[mysticspiritwolf72]

2 days on this topic in class and I'm still lost.

9 minutes on youtube and I understand it completely.

My chemistry teacher sucks. >_>

[LoXatoR94]

who else has an exam tomorrow?

[kongbook10]

@LoXatoR94 hahahha lol here 2 !

[biabi9]

OMG i finally understood it!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[NOUHA24]

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!

[harshalpatilrox]

THANKS A LOT!!

[selan100]

is this real life?

[EnrichedGamer]

@selan100 that must be a joke

[longbum123]

@selan100 or is this just fantasy?

[elhoeb00]

thanks a lot mate!

[nicollettarox]

You're my hero. Thank you so much!

[chriskpham]

Why can't professors teach like this

[SISMUMBA]

I really prefer youtube teachers.

[robie93]

I Love You.

[bs152115]

Thank you so much. If only my Profs would be this clear! Thanks again :)

[Atulmur]

So much better than my professor



[sukiyumi101]

How does hybridization work when you're drawing out the hybridization schemes?

[Impulse348]

You're a lifesaver!

[MrLuffy9131]

our 50 min lecture in 10 mins lol

[Axel604]

Good job explaining! I was having trouble with this concept, but not anymore :D

[azanhk1]

I've spent 4 hrs to understand this stuff and your vid just ended all..tq!

[averagejoe303]

You pretty much allowed me to sleep tonight. Thank you. 

[surdana]

What if you have more than 4 regions of high electron density? Say 5 or 6?

[13someguy13]

@surdana - He didn't cover it in this video, but that would be sp^3d and sp^3d^2 hybridization.

[MrFfsfdfs]

@13someguy13

simple. 5 regions on electron density would be sp^3d. 6 regions of electron density would be sp^3d^2.

[13someguy13]

@MrFfsfdfs - lol, I know that.  I was answering Surdana's initial question :P

[Nazih09]

thank you! :)

[don145arsenal]

thank you very much, you have cleared up some points for me

[MagaCarey]

sp three. Not sp cubed.

[ChemAssistBeta]

@MagaCarey Actually, both are acceptable.

[Dragking40]

Thanks a lot, helped me greatly

[rosebud1644]

and why is C2H2 sp?

[rosebud1644]

@rosebud1644 oh i got it! Sorry!

[rosebud1644]

how can carbon have sp2 hybridization? and also sp?

[hamayun24]

I have a question..You counted the Loan Pairs as No of regions of high electron density in Water ,  but u didn't count them in Formaldehyde . Why ?

[w3stwood]

@hamayun24 He was determening hybridization on the carbon atom and not oxygen atom. The loan pairs belong to the oxygen atom

[hamayun24]

@w3stwood Ok mate :) Another question please , Can you tell me how to find the no. of lone pairs ?

[hamayun24]

Thanks a Lot :)

[joperojoo]

thank you very muuuuch !! :)

[ElricBoomBoom]

Man thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you just make my life much easier :D Keep on going!!! REALLY USEFUL VIDEO!!!!!

[chromeney]

chemassistbeta,

@ 9:12 you said its sp2 but how about the lone pairs, aren't they counted?

(single bond) + (double bond) + 2 (lone pairs) = 4 ... why its not sp3

on H2O you counted the 2 lone pairs. im confuse here.

and tnx for the vid

[abner0fedor]

@chromeney there are no lone pairs in the carbon atom ( remember the octet rule) there are 2 single bonds and one double so its 2 singles+ 1 double = sp2 ... in the watter there are 2 pairs and 2 bonds in the central atom so its 2 bonds+ 2 pairs= sp3

[chromeney]

@abner0fedor nope im saying the lone pairs on the oxygen atom.

anyway thanks for the reply. :]

[MrWoa90210]

Dude you are the man, clearly explained examples of hybridization...beautiful

[Siroucity]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

[cheosr]

Thank You!!

[sylversly1]

Thank You! 

[64GIO]

you saved my ass and probably other 394 guys too thanks man you explain really good >:) i hope ill pass the test lol

[TheNextAnstine]

why would people dislike this when someone pity you and assist you with your chemistry homework or assignment. worthless idiots

[dancermdh]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This helped so much! Now I'm not freaking out as much for my AP Chem quiz tomorrow. Haha

[pockercherry]

are you sent from heaven ?

[mtp0430]

Thank you :)

[MuchKnowledge]

I love you.

[netiNaik]

@travelholic91 : i don't get what u are saying.. :(

[BamBam123456789ish]

Great vid! This helped a lot!

[wajiaina]

it,s awsome.....i never understood this topic no matter how hard i try....i was readind it 4 several hours...took help 4rm several teachers bt i was fail 2 understand...bt today m much happy..just within 10 min i got it...u r gr8..thx a lot

[nicki248]

You are amazing. Haha. Seriously. Hours of reading my text book and 10 minutes of this made it all make sense.

[cwpop2011]

All i can say is THANK YOU!!!!!



[rehman2009]

Good video man. Thanks.

[caitymo27]

Thank you so much! I wish my professor could have explained it like this!

[clamer22]

you can't just keep counting regions of high electron density for other hybridizations? for example sp3d hybridization, no atom can have 5 regions of high electron density, right? at least not visible in a simple 2d diagram. so how would you determine hybridization in these cases?

[rigoagui]

fucking awsome

[netiNaik]

i dont understand why the hybridisation of ethene(C2H2) is sp????

[travelholic91]

@netiNaik There are 2 electron groups (places where electrons live). Since 2 electron groups, then it's sp.

[diaamd]

Man this video is something! Thank you so much!!!

But I've got a question on what you said at 2:17. Each lobe represents SP? I thought that each dumbbell shape represents either Px, Py or Pz. :S You get my question? Please reply back.

[ChemAssistBeta]

@diaamd At 2:17, four sp3 hybrid orbitals are shown. Each orbital has a large lobe that points to one of the corners of a regular tetrahedron. Each orbital also has a small lobe on the other side of the nucleus that points in the opposite direction. Since I'm not a good artist, I drew only the large lobes. But the truth is hybrid orbitals look a lot like pure p orbitals, only they're asymmetric about the nucleus.

[oakcliff621]

@ChemAssistBeta thank you this trick helped me figure out hybridization but the downfall is that it didnt really elaborate on the connection between electron domains and spX orbitals.

[SlyLur]

your the man , you should write a general chemistry book

[ArcHusky]

Thank you so much. Gen Chem was slipping my mind a little and it was making it hard for me to determine aromatic structures in Orgo :]

[NewLogic87]

The "How to Determine Hybridization" page was exactly what I needed. Thanks.

[Echoscurse]

You made learning so easy,m gonna Marry you !

m serious.

[MEXEULALIO]

This made my life sooo much easier. Thanks for a good video man!

[bilbodickbaggins]

it sure did shit some light on the subject. Im just kidding great video!!!

[5bst29]

I was nearly in tears because I couldn't understand what anyone said about hybridization.. you explained it perfectly. Thank you!!

[EuropeanSpaceAgency1]

what about the last one, how can it be 3 high electron density? there are 4 electrons left, I don't get it :S Can someone explain?

[TonNguyen89]

@EuropeanSpaceAgency1 It's because he asked for the hybridization around the CARBON atom and not the other ones. So the areas of high density of electrons around the CARBON atom is 3. :)

[gavin8988898]

You make the world a better plave beofore my assessment

[falpalemily]

Thank you so much! I didn't get it until now.

[pcparth]

you're awesome

[awholelottayeah]

It's my finals later omg I love you!! :(( saviorrrrr

[basyula]

thank you so much for this video! you're the first person who explained it in a clear and understanable way :)

[Jaweze]

I guess that just goes to show, all it takes is a SIMPLIFIED explanation. I feel much better about my upcoming test now. You have no idea how much this helped.

[1dcn14]

I'M GOING TO PASS BECAUSE OF U, I LOVE U

[ilovemyhomeslice]

This was a great video! Thanks bro man dude yo!

[thinkgreenlovepurple]

why didn't I find this video BEFORE my test....

[KiyomiTakada]

You rock!

[ianmanpr]

I wonder, why is so complicated in the class room? Finally I got it!! Excellent. Thanks!!

[alabonneheure1]

Thanks so much , this was great!!! We are going to go over this next week and I already get it!! I am gona ace this test!!

Thanks.

[likewhoa141]

OMG IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOWWW! HAD NO IDEA IT BE THAT SIMPLE! I'M DEF CHECKING OUT YOUR OTHER VIDEOS. THANK YOU! :D

[yvetreynol]

Thank you so much!

[Rocknrjiii]

Thank you...i might just pass tomorrows exam because of this! :'(..or i might do well :D...either way this will help me get lets say 7-8 marks minimum?!

[adighn]

FANTASTIC VIDEO! YOU EXPLAIN THIS BETTER THAN MY PROFESSOR!

PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS ON OTHER OCHEM 1 TOPICS!

[ErniesLament]

1hr45min of my OChem prof. lecturing = WTF is hybridization??? I'm screwed on the test.

9 and a half minutes of you talking = Are you kidding? That's all there is to it?

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[Benjisurfer]

@ErniesLament I  feel you lol

[TERRORISTBRO]

@ErniesLament me too!! thats the exact same reaction i had when the prof was lecturing it! now i saw this and its the simplest thing! hahaha

[Buggsy1589]

This video was very helpful... You explained it better than my professor. :)

[anigmatic]

Thanks for clarifying this with the examples. You've cleared up a LOT of confusion for me! :D

[hahalala60]

thanks! :) You explained it so clearly. I wish you could go further detail and explain the actual part on how to get the hybridization, you know, drawing how the electrons jump on to higher energy level and become sp3....etc.

[luvtheUSMC]

This is a very helpful review! I take the MCAT Saturday and was a little "rusty" on this topic. You have helped me soooo much!

[nicolastimpanaro1984]

great video! thank you.

[kirstie2939]

THANK YOU!!!!! I was having a mental breakdown with my homework.... NOT ANYMORE :)

[nicerole]

Thanks for the video! I was struggling with my homework which is due this weekend! I didnt cover this stuff in the past quite clearly. This video did a really good job in demonstrating the material as a whole. Thanks again!



[HaseebRasool]

thanx alot man!!!!! :)

[karen0shihui]

Wow thank you so much for explaining ! Now I finally know how to determine hybridisation!!

[polyinmypocket]

thank you somuch for uploading this video! i actually understand this now ..wohooooo!

[09cansucancan]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! NOW I BLOODY UNDERSTAND THIS!! YOU'RE GREAT! :D no more frustration yesssss :D

[saladink10]

THANK YOUUUU!!!

[SuperGooseDog]

Can't nitrogen hybridize 3 ways? It can have single bonds (ammonia) double bonds (nitric acid) or triple bonds (nitrogen gas)

[luis8606]

THANK YOU, i have a chem exam on monday lol

[primusuni]

Thank you so much for the very simplistic explaination. I go to Wayne State University in Detroit, MI and every Chem professor and teacher Assistant couldn't break it down into simple term. They just re-worded the book and use that as an explaination. Please put up more Chem videos. I'm a Pre-Med student and I'm sure that will all be helpful...Thanks again

[alexwhb122]

so helpful!!! thank you!!!

[XTimelessEclipseX]

Yeh this was a pretty explanation

[hellobreakboy]

lol best explaination ever man

[ChemAssistBeta]

@MeJustLovin it depends on which atom you're looking at. The carbon atom has no lone pairs, so you wouldn't count any. The oxygen atom DOES have two lone pairs, and each one would count as a region of high electron density. Both the carbon and the oxygen in formaldehyde happen to be sp2 hybridized, but in the video I was just focusing on the carbon atom.

[MeJustLovin]

@ChemAssistBeta Ok.... So if this question pops up in an exam, do I count the loan pair too??

[MeJustLovin]

@ChemAssistBeta Ok so if I have this on the exam, I count the loan pairs too right? but then there would be 5, does that mean it becomes sp4??

[ChemAssistBeta]

@MeJustLovin there is no such thing as sp4. If there are five regions of high electron density, then it is sp3d hybridized. Remember, there are only 3 p orbitals.

[Mohanned40]

Wow man! You make it seem simple. Now I may walk confidently to the chemistry exam!

[alexde92]

i freaking love you!!!!! you have saved my life :D i wish the bloody lectures could explain it so CLEARLY !!!

[wullz16]

Thanks so much!



[preteepriska]

MY TEACHER EXPLAINED THIS IN A COMPLICATED WAY BUT THIS WAS REALLY CLEAR & HELPFUL....THANKS ALOT! (IF I HAVE YOUR KIND AS A TEACHER,THEN I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM @ ALL).

[GreenlandCat]

this is absolutely the clearest video for this

[john37309]

Not that was a ground breaking video. That man is a genius!

Thank you ChemAssistBeta,

John.
