9.3 Hybridization | General Chemistry

[@shahadbahnasi_]

THAT WAS LITERALLY THE BEST EXPLANATION ABOUT HYBRID ORBITALS THAT I HAVE EVER WATCHED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW

[@ChadsPrep]

EXCELLENT! 😁😁😁

[@johnfischer120]

no lie this is the only explanation that I've gotten that makes perfect sense to me. thank you so much

[@ChadsPrep]

You're very welcome - glad it helped!

[@Enderman-ww6pq]

you are a real chad , Chad .....this really helped me and that one illustration at the end removed the confusion I've had with this topic for the past few months

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad it helped!

[@Grazie10]

This was literally what i had been looking for this whole time. Such great explanation, i appreciate it so much.

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome - Glad it was helpful!

[@weezermeister5681]

by far the most helpful chemistry teacher I've seen

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you very much.

[@MisterHaych]

I was tutoring Maths and my tutoree asked me if I knew anything about Chemical bonds, after saying I would try my best, they pulled out homework questions on Hybridisation. I remember taking AP chem in high school and a year of inorganic chem in university but felt utterly embarressed that I had no clue what hybridisation was. I didn't even remember hearing the term ever. I even went back to check my notes all those years ago and found nothing. This was a great video for me to learn and understand it.

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the channel is helping you!

[@makayleenelson6287]

you're amazing and your comment at the end about calling your mom and telling her you love her was adorable I LOVE YOU CHAD

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks for saying so.

[@Sky-bk8hu]

damn your a life saver, my professor sucks at explaining things. They spent an hour trying to explain hybridization and you did it better in a quarter of the time

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the video helped you - Happy Studying!

[@kaylaquilantang5380]

Thank you so much for this lesson! My professor didn't teach it as efficiently and with an exam coming up with hybridization as one of the covered topics, I was concerned with my lack of comprehension. You explained this so well in a manner that was so easy to understand. I can't stress how thankful I am :D

[@ChadsPrep]

Excellent - I hope you do well on your exam!

[@kanavsharma633]

THANK YOU SM , YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO EXPLAIND IT GOOD

[@ChadsPrep]

your 16 min explanation made more sense than my profs hour and a half lecture. thanks, it helped a lot!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad the video helped you - Happy Studying!

[@12.duongquanghuy62]

I'm so excited for your video. In the class my professor teach very quickly but when I watch your video, I understand. From Vietnam!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad to hear it - Happy Studying from USA!

[@nicholasholland4950]

This is a much better and in-depth explanation of hybrid orbitals than my Ochem class, the taught the promotion and hybridization parts separate as if they weren't linked ideas! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome - Happy Studying!

[@Idk-hn2wj]

You absolutely crushed this! I am in OCHEM and i never really understood hybridization until now! thank you!!

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad this helped!

[@abstractgirl-ek1nq]

I've searched every chemistry video on youtube for this topic but non was able to explain as vastly as you have. You literally blew my mind i just had to immediately subscribe. Words can't explain how grateful I'm for your help on this topic. ❤❤

[@ChadsPrep]

Glad you found us - Happy Studying!

[@connorkrilow9220]

Chad - can you explain why my wife left me please

[@ChadsPrep]

Yikes! Something to do with General Chemistry???

[@chrispadchinyama-9127]

It could be because of induced dipole dipole moment

[@tinop24]

😂

[@incognitenigma]

"Maybe we should see other orbitals"

[@daughterofzion.4592]

Because you refused to be hybridized with her. Try sigma bonds

[@markyacoub639]

You have no idea how much this video helped mee. It all makes sense now... Thank u sm chad! ❤

[@ChadsPrep]

You're welcome - Glad to hear it!

[@estimatingonediscoveringthree]

You do a great job explaining a contrived system! Can’t wait until we actually figure out how electrons “work”

[@ChadsPrep]

In person, I would often tell my students at the end of this lesson that "Oh, by the way, this is all really a lie." The look on their faces was priceless. We don't have any perfect models but they all have their utility. I'll be releasing a new lesson on Molecular Orbital Theory later this week and we'll get a little closer to reality. 🙂

[@estimatingonediscoveringthree]

@@ChadsPrep we homeschool, we are using a curriculum that I’m very unsatisfied with…we are subscribing to your master classes so we can actually get through the sophistry and learn something. Thank you

[@estimatingonediscoveringthree]

@@ChadsPrep (I have to ask, have you looked into the spherical geometry atomic model? Just a thought. They are developing modeling programs for it. It explains octet rule and radioactivity better then anything else I have considered)

[@LightTalick]

Thank you very much for these wonderful teaching. But I am a little bit confused about the sp3 hybrid and the bond angles in the methane that is 109.5. How do you get it sir?

[@aminaguemghar4007]

Hi Chad! Just a quick question for you... Let's say I were to draw the valence bond diagram of hydronium, how would I proceed with the hybridization? I know it would be sp3 but there are only 2 available orbitals.. should I remove an arrow because of the positive charge? I don't know how that would work out... Thank you for the video though!!

[@AnastasiiaHolub-lk7xv]

[@AdilKhan-xv3mh]

That is the best explanation ever!

[@ChadsPrep]

Thanks!

[@melaniegalaxy697]

At 4:40 how is there only 4 valence electrons? When I see 6. Do you just ignore the 1s2 or something?

[@derrennicholaskwee8752]

if you want to see the full diagram then of course 1s2 would be included, although in hybridization, only the last 2 orbital should be considered as they are the one that will be combined after all.

[@brunaalmeida8574]

i love this man dude his explanations are fire

[@AnthonyClement-m6d]

I thank you for actually helping me make sense of this.. very visual, which my professor is not. However, she did go over the expanded octet, and i have tried to utilize your same "promotion" "hybridization" idea and i cannot quite make it make sense. Any chance you could help out before Tuesday's test. We've utilized PCl5, SF6, and IF4+. No big deal if you cant. The short version of electron domains will suffice for sure. Thank you

[@wariacikminecraft321]

while promoting that electron from 2s to 2p in carbon does that spin number change?

[@pebabmey]

this whole time, I was just wondering: where does that unhybridized orbital go?? I really appreciate this video as someone who needs to know what is going on in depth, and this explanation was perfect. I have your next videos queued up!

[@ChadsPrep]

Awesome! Welcome to the channel :)

[@student048]

thank you so much, this makes so much more sense

[@ChadsPrep]

Very welcome

[@soozy927]

what if we are given the molecular formula and asked to explain the hybridization and determine its type, and then draw Lewis structure and predict the geometry. So we cannot know the number of electron domains.

[@Periwinkle-oo4uz]

I just found this channel and I must say you are a great teacher. I have a question that the geometries of these hybrid orbitals are not fixed these are generally obtained, right?

[@Periwinkle-oo4uz]

e.g an sp3 orbital is mostly a tetrahedral but it might also be a pyramidal or V-shaped and why is that

[@ChadsPrep]

It depends on the number of bonding electron domains and nonbonding electron domains (i.e. lone pairs) on the central atom. For sp3 hybridized central atoms: 4 bonding domains = tetrahedral 3 bonding / 1 nonbonding = trigonal pyramidal 2 bonding / 2 nonbonding = bent The molecular geometry is named based upon where the atoms are located around the central atom (it doesn't factor in where the lone pairs of electrons are located). This video from earlier in the chapter expounds on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKfJgqetjtB3qsk Hope this helps!

[@Periwinkle-oo4uz]

@@ChadsPrepThankyou it explains! and sorry for replying so late

[@ChadsPrep]

@@Periwinkle-oo4uz Most welcome.

[@KyleARotelli]

Phenomenal explanation

[@ChadsPrep]

Thank you

[@tapio8417]

At 14:20 isn't it a bit wrong that in CO the C's SP has only one electron in the first box? I mean the the first hybridized orbital is fully occupied so there should be both lone electrons in the box (up and down arrows)?

[@tapio8417]

Great video btw so thanks for that!

[@ChadsPrep]

Hey Tapio! This is one of the 'rules' in orbital diagrams that we fill empty orbitals first before pairing up electrons because electrons in their own orbitals experience less repulsion than in an up/down spin pair. Best way I found to remember this is if you got on a bus you would find an empty seat before sitting next to someone (if they are a stranger anyway)

[@tapio8417]

Ah yea of course! Thanks for the reply!@@ChadsPrep

does every bond with every compound ever have hybrid orbitals? or is this a special thing for a few compounds?

[@edenassraf5196]

sorry also one more thing! in the beginning at 1:49 , the overlapping s orbitals are not hybrids correct? hybridization only occurs between the orbitals of a single atom? thank you!
