💁‍♀️ HI I'M MELISSA MARIBEL
I help students pass Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I used to struggle with this subject, so when I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I became a tutor so that you wouldn't have to struggle like I did. I know that with the right help, YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING!

This women here passed me in chemistry and I swear I'm crying.I can't thank you enough ur such a life saver!!! I went from getting Ds to As LIKE EVEN I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ur so u underappreciated thank you so much :'))

[@melissamaribel]

That's incredible!! Congrats 🎉

This is the first time I actually understand something this from a chemistry teacher on KZbin. Other people drag out their videos and make it confusing and hard to understand. You are such a blessing!

[@rickastleysmicrophone7544]

My teacher taught me this lesson today and I was just sitting there with my hands upon my head blinking. Thank goodness I watched this video. I swear this video was helpful.thanks

[@Mushakis21]

I hope this lady is a millionaire because she is a true hero... saving us all from failing. RESPECT

[@carolynricks]

My students would rather have her teach them. They're always asking for links to her videos to explain concepts 😂 Thank you for being my teacher assistant!

[@christlnee]

Aww

[@caragood3963]

I haven't been understanding anything my teacher has been explaining to me so I went on youtube to get help and I am beyond thankful I found your channel. I actually have hope now that I will be able to pass chemistry! Thank you so much!!

[@melissamaribel]

You're very welcome Cara!

[@Mahyarsaber]

You are amazing Mellisa, I have master degree in polymer chemistry but I still enjoy from your videos & teaching, good job

[@melissamaribel]

Thank you!

[@0797cjm]

Hey Melissa. I learned this in class the other day. I wanted to ask you a quick question. My teacher taught me that the atomic number is protons and electrons while the bottom number is protons and neutrons. Am I missing something and is is possible that I misheard this? Or misunderstood? Hopefully you can explain this to me. Thanks in advance!

[@pulkithanda833]

@@0797cjm Atomic no is only equal to no protons but if you see in a neutral atom the protons and electrons are equal so only in a neutral atom the atomic no is equal to no of protons and electrons. And the bottom no itself is atomic number. So your teacher told this for neutral atom only.

[@fobbyf2889]

I was struggling in my chemistry class and I was just unmotivated to do my chem work but after watching your videos, I actually learned a lot more then what my teacher taught me and got more motivation. Right now im doing well in chem class. Thanks a bunch! I will def recommend your channel to my other friends who might be struggling in chem.

[@abi_maria57]

Thank you xx

[@melissamaribel]

You're welcome 😊

[@xLOVExGODx]

I've researched the information provided to us at 6:12 and the number of electrons is actually 8. Also, by following your example whenever using the periodic table. Unless I'm missing something but the charge according to a notable website has indicated that is ( -1 ), which would give us the equation of 9 - ( -1) = 8 for the total of electrons.

[@melissamaribel]

When Fluorine is in its ion form meaning it shows a F- then yes this is true but that isn’t the question. This question is showing F in its neutral state this is why the number of protons and electrons would be the same since there is no charge shown.

[@xLOVExGODx]

Melissa Maribel awesome! I greatly appreciate that you took the time to explain that to me because I was following the steps provided and didn’t have the same answer. 🙂 Now, would you please explain the number of electrons for Oxygen and how you came to that conclusion? I’m having difficulty with that particular question at the moment. I’m simply doing this as practice on my own based on the set of rules that you’ve provided.

[@juanvillegas6641]

Thank you!!!!:)

[@guledxasan3421]

Woow you are amazing my teacher 😘

[@evelynfrank7467]

This is great, but am having difficulty finding the neutron, I don't seem to understand that part, I realized it during the practice question, I wasn't able to find the neutron as others

[@kekedorsainvil5061]

How do we know if an element is neutral before finding the protons, neutrons, and electrons? In finding these for iron for example, I automatically subtracted protons from the charge but since it is neutral, the protons and electrons are equal.

[@paulhernandez3197]

I will be starting my chemistry class next week. I know forsure you will be a great help to me. Thank you in advance for the help. Not only are you very cute but also you're an awesome teacher!

Hi Ms. Melissa! I recently found your videos, about a month ago, and am reorganizing my Chemistry folder with a better understanding of Chemistry. I was wondering if you might know of anyone who explains things similarily to you (with enthusiasm) but discusses physics? Any help is greatly appreciated. If not, then it's ok. Thank you

hi there can you help me with the F one...I got the electron as 11 instead of 9....what's the charge?

[@hellootherex3]

You're are doing a great public service with these videos, I appreciate you!

[@cess5614]

for 5:18 I got 10 for electron because the charge for "F" on my periodic table is -1. So I did ELECTRON = PROTON which is 9 - (-1) = 10 pls check if I'm wrong

[@derriellelee8650]

For the last practice/example, how do you solve or find out the exact number of the ion charge? I was a little confused lol

[@A.T.Johnson]

What about when you try to find the atomic number for something such as H2O? I have been stuck on that for a few hours
