  • 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?

  • @anfro18 Thanks.

    Yes, a star designates an antibonding level.

  • 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.

  • @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 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?

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

  • 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!!

  • 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

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

  • I wish I could give you an award.

  • beyond helpful. Thank you very much!

  • Very helpful video, THANKS!!

  • pichure :D
