  • Brilliant!

  • @BenJimi440 Yeah? Well how about you take some time off and make a video then?

    How else is the nitrate anion supposed to form, unless the nitrogen gives off an electron?

  • Nice video, unfortunately it is WRONG. you can NEVER take a nonbonding electron from nitrogen and just place it on oxygen to fulfill the octet. you basically just took one of nitrogen's five valence electrons and placed it on oxygen. the only way you can move this electron is if you do so to form a covalent bond. the bottom line is that the lone pair in nitrogen forms a (single) coordinate covalent bond with one of the oxygens. the other three valence electrons go to the double and single

  • I love solving equations the way you've taught - its fun. Can somebody give me more compounds to solve?

  • Thank you so much! You are very clear in your explanation - this is awesome.

  • These are amazing. I've learned so much more than a book could ever teach me with these videos. Thank you for helping me pass my first chem class in college :)

  • I wish you were my chem teacher

  • Thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much, i was lost until you explaned it so well. I truly appreciate it :)

  • OMG thank you i was so lost but now i get it

  • The last electron that you join should be a dative covalent bond
