Yes I do want to get into trigonal bipyramidal

[MarkRosengarten]

@kekothegeko Sulfur hexafluoride.

[TyroneCrawford]

The chemical term for what you said @ 1:17 is actually called The trigonal planar shape.

I'm from the UK, so perhaps it works differently.

[MarkRosengarten]

@TyroneCrawford No. Trigonal planar is just that, a FLAT shape ("planar"), a center atom with three atoms bonded to it on a flat plane. Pyramidal is just that, a center atom representing the apex of the pyramid, bonded to three other atoms that represent the base. Trigonal pyramidal is the full name.

Thanks = )

I love youtube. I learn more from Youtube than school @_@

[MrLuke370]

what about bond angles ???

[MrLuke370]

anyone from ireland watching this you get no marks inthe exam for bent shape , you have to say v-shaped

[horseideology]

Is there a video that shows how shape relates to covalent bonds and determining by shape if it is polar/non-polar?

YOURR THE MANNNN

thank you! i have my IB chemistry exam in 2 weeks and this is (one of my many) worst topic! :)
