sp3 Hybridized Orbitals and Sigma Bonds

[VictoriaAmelia]

Thank you so much! I finally understood that weird thing! You're a hero to me :)

[zezo7hdk]

Haha 14:56 "This sp3 Horbital..". Loved it, helped alot! :)

[NONDTI]

Khan, i owe my grades to you

[akshan11]

At first when i saw the name Salman Khan i thought it was the actor lol

[echflute]

so, when carbon bonds, does it always form hybrid orbitals?

[AnnosY]

This is awesome PERIOD.

[AnnosY]

Carbon likes to bond with four other people :p That was sweet! lol

[apples220022]

O-M-G I spent a lot of money on a new txtbook, the solutions manual, my tuition fee, even the "org,chem as 2nd language"....and none of that could explain me what you did in 16 minutes!! Thank you so much.

My teacher went on and on using words that confused me even more, then she said if u don't get these concepts very well you might need to get a tutor!!! Clearly I just needed someone who new how to teach.

[Infernify]

opened my organic chem book, saw this stuff at chapter 1, was about to drop the course, watched this video, became ok.

[pharaohgirgzz]

someone answer this really soon please! does each atom in a molecule have its own orbital or do they all join together to make one orbital as a whole molecule?

[ironman102790]

You sir are brilliant.

It still amazes me how you draw so well on the computer 0.o

I will give your ad a click ;)

[pharaohgirgzz]

@ironman102790 he uses a drawing pad i think.

[pharaohgirgzz]

if you were my dad and tried to teach me this but i never was able to understand would you do my homework for me?

[thinkgreenlovepurple]

thanks for explaining so clearly. :)

[herpderpmonkey]

Does anyone know why electrons go into the 2p orbitals shaped like that (or is it something you just accept as a gen chem student)?

[recoil88]

I'm not sure how I got here but I feel I learned something. No idea what but I'm sure it was important.

[pokemondodoman]

9:51.....4 lonely guys and they are ready to bond!!

if you know what i mean

[thorndra]

'I can see cleaarly now'

[RedGoddesscom]

Sal, Thank you so much for what you are doing!!! The question is: is tis sp3 hybridized orbitals relevant only to C? Thank you!

[ename17]

Best Teacher Ever!

[ghattan117]

Can somebody explain to me how for the hybridization of BrF5 that for Br it's sp^3d^2?

Its using 7 valence electrons, 2 of which are a lone pair and 5 which are bonded to F.

[rahrahritaa]

ohhhhh. i think this is what my professor was TRYING to say.

[YaStrange1]

Can you PLEASE make a video on the molecular orbital theory? Thank you!

[mahsanassi]

It's all so clear now, i love you!

[chaitan94]

He really drew that on a Computer ? ! OMG.. and it doesnt even seem like he uses something like pen..

[light51]

Chemistry is fun? but..but..damn

[DreamMagicTeam]

YOU... ARE.... A .... GOD!!!!

[sheleg3s3]

100 times better than any chem prof at uni -.-

[thetacky89]

you are a chemical god.

[torque7793]

I may have commented this on too many of your videos... but I love you.

[dimitri112345]

You really need to open up your own institute! Have homework, essays, and exams based off of your youtube videos! I already learn more from your videos than I do from my professors. Please don't stop making science videos!

[shiiiiiiish]

you're freaking amazing

just subscribed :)

[TheEmpireOfEuphoria]

THANK YOU! You are really good at putting things into perspective! I finally get this :D

[andrestorp]

And here we have 4 Forever Alones and they are ready to bond!

[yungsurma]

I can't understand why this video has even 1 dislike.

Someone is jealous of your teaching skills it seems :(

[Shkencetari]

This was really helpful, thanks.

[Soulastic1]

Dear Sal, you make chemistry exciting and fun. You motivate me with your videos and I love the fact that they free for us idiots who don't understand Chemistry as well as you.

[nyavramov]

I'm paying 50K per year on college, instead of this free online. WTF?!

Sal, you're amazing.

[roldan92]

@nyavramov that is so true!!!!! even though i pay like half of that but still

[sbebezas]

you.... are GOD!!! thank you!

[novaboi1981]

I keep asking myself, why do I spend thousands of dollars on college tuition when this guy explains it WAY better than any of my professors???

[k5lta]

@novaboi1981 EXACTLY!! public schooling and college are just absolutely meaningless these days with the internet in existence, but the government has made it to where you HAVE to get its stamp of approval to succeed in life..makes me mad everytime i think about it.

[hahs4]

if you can do a video about bonding and anti bonding, i will be eternally grateful

thumbs up so that Sal can see it

[pharaohgirgzz]

@hahs4 i doubt he even looks at this shit.

[waqas01200]

couldn't get easier and better than this~~~~~~~~~excellent work!!!

[creativsis]

4 lonely guys and they are ready to bond... tehe. (:

Btw, thank you.

[doctorksk]

nice drawing. i've never seen such a good drawing of orbital.

[Twernxuen]

Clear explanation. Thanks a lot!!! :D

[sullivanseven]

:-*

[windragon379]

@ChronicFatigueSyn Actually, whenever an atom bonds, what we take into account is the number of VALENCE electrons. Valence electrons are found in the atom's outermost shell in their electron configuration. If you pay attention to the video, you see that in its configuration C has 4 electrons, 1s^2,2s^2,2p^2. You can also identify those by looking at the periodic table and look at the groups. C is listed in 4A, which is why it's got 4 valence electrons to share in bonding.

[windragon379]

You give such nice lectures! :D



[SylvaAnsuz]

This is great! If only my organic chemistry professor taught at this pace, and with this level of clarity!!

[FokuzBoi]

your free hand drawing is so nice..

[dwhite8625]

reviewing for the Pharmacy College Admission Test and I started to panic because I took OCHEM in 2004 0_o but now i feel great thank you so much!!

[MrNura96]

AWESOME thx a lot!! :D

[hexy275]

You are sooooooo good. OMG!

[vasahni]

you're amazing dude. Keep doing what you're doing

[ADillPickle]

Thank god for you. my Chemistry prof should watch this before lecture.

[BenelliFurtado]

I needed 3 years of studying physics + this video to understand sp3 Orbitals :-D

Thanks!

[MonaRocks09]

@BenelliFurtado lol did physics even help? :O

[camfuse]

This is a great revision video! P.S. Your drawing is really good, it's exactly what my professor drew on the board today!

[lolahoneyforyou]

sal I really appreciate this thanks!

[ricgianvechio]

Muito bom, obrigado khan!

[qwido25]

I totally understood by watching it once. You are a great professor. Definitely subscribe to his channel.

[stexan88]

I wish you were my O Chem professor. I really do sal!!!

[iameninabonita]

Sal, you just helped me with Chapter 1's Organic Chemistry material for my MCAT!

[usmansharifmicky]

that would be a very small tripod. Also hehe you said 'it wants to bond with 4 people' funny makes chemistry fun, ty

[ajbt720]

you don't need to repeat yourself so much you know

[TheCrazyTitan]

even at uni his videos are soo darn useful

[fwibbiting]

thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou

[KHgoalkeeper21]

why go to class or pay 70 dollars for prep sessions when you have khanacademy...

amazing

[NatalyInsanity]

SAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU. A LOT.

[zezo7hdk]

I FUCKIN LOVE YOU! MAAAAN THIS WAS FUCKIN AWESOME!

I FUCKIN THANK YOU SO FUCKIN MUCH! THIS HAS BEEN A PAIN IN THE ASS FOR ME! NOW I WANNA CAUSE SOME SERIOUS PAIN IN THE ASS FOR MY CHEM TEACHER!

YOU ARE FUCKIN EPIC<3

[ilovejaychou1]

thank you so much for this, you are amazing!!!!can't get any clearer than this!!!you are even better than my university professor!

[inuyasha91133]

ur good at drawing

[ngussin0]

Wow, thank you so much for this, i understand this so much better now, holy...!!!!

[luxxmii]

Thanks!!!! You're awesome!!! i'mfrom Mexico and I understood everthing!!!

[darrent1000]

Thank you!!!!! You are awesome! Now I understand!! Thank you so much!

[aishluvzme]

4 words :YOU ARE SIMPLY AWESOME! i was so sick of sitting in class like a dumb dumb for hours together...16 mins of ur vid and i actually understand!! thank you so so so so so much!!!!

[zuhaibmehdi2010]

superb explanation nice video THANKS

[sanspaba]

Wonderful. Keep it up! Cleared up a lot for me!

[FrankfurtamMainxxl]

thank you so much !!!!!!!!!

[Sushiiiiiiiiiiiii]

3 years of community college chemistry classes and I still had no idea how hybridized orbitals worked. 16 minutes of your video cleared that up completely. We need more instructors, no wait, more people like you in the world. You are an amazing person and I hope you can continue doing what you do.

[Mirthomaniac]

@Sushiiiiiiiiiiiii This video (and all of these videos) are indeed great.

I was fortunate enough to have a really good Prof. for Org. Chem. I'll never forget an email he sent out when someone asked about hybridisation. 'This will probably be like when you found out about Santa Claus but...it doesn't exist. It's just a model that 'works' when we look at wavefunctions and it helps describe bonding accurately. Sorry.'

[ameneteid]

@Sushiiiiiiiiiiiii i totally agree...i go to my lectures and dont understand what my professor literally professor says...and this guy is amazing

[filipedgb]

@Sushiiiiiiiiiiiii How is that possible? I read just 2 pages of my chemistry book and understood this concept easily.

Anyway, the video is very good, very simple explanation. Thanks for using your time on helping others

[marochakka]

You are my role model!!!

One day, I hope to have a good influence in the world like you have!

[xlilwaynelurverx]

wow 5 books didn't explain it as well as this video did. great job, you're a life saver!!!

my exams are in may 2012 so I HOPE HOPE HOPE you don't delete this video before then! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[farid2049]

Great video with amazing explaination !!!

It'll take a whole week to understand it from a text book ...

Keep It Up Sir !!!

[shiza223]

I have no words to admire you ........... just you are great!!!

[rawna1]

Great video, clear pictures and gud explanation to tie everything nicely together. Thanks alot!

[meercachase]

thank you so much! using bright colours and explaining and drawing in 3 really help me understand a lot better! Kudos to you!

[browndawg23]

i wish you posted this last semester!

[neesa8711]

Thank you very helpful for my Organic Chem class!

[Riou94]

You are way better than my teacher, I finally got the lesson

[deeannn]

This made things so much clearer! Thank you!!!

[201Romario]

Thank you so much! I have been studying organic chemistry for about 2 weeks...and going at a slow pace because I'm also self studying biology...Your videos are such a great supplement with textbooks and practice problems. I'm so stoked because now I believe I can achieve an A in organic chemistry and bio. Dreams of med school :D I was freaking out before because I' transferring to Emory and not sure what to expect. But I feel at ease now. Sorry for the long reply great vid!

[SHIABOON]

ATTENTION PLEASE : The sound please sir.this only video with little bet low sound.

Thank you very much for the efforts.

[webbspudd]

why there is a 3 a the end of the name : sp3?

[homousios]

very informative. BILL Gates was right on when he talked of you

[jjaysober]

Can't believe it! I just had this subject this morning than when i come home and browse khan's new videos and here we go. a brand new Review xD

[ose90]

very comprehensive +1

[Bloodsaberxy]

dang i didnt even learn this when we took a test on these, how helpful

[Dynamics18]

you helped me when i had a horrible calculus teacher in highschool... I had forgotton how amazing you are.

[cutiegiji]

Thank you

[ViraIVideos]

I have a test on this on monday. Thanks Sal :)

[ThoVBui]

This is amazing, we did this in class with balloons, and that wasn't nearly as clear as this, thanks Sal.
