nice to finally find a video that is short, concise, and to the point.

[@mr.pixelguy1855]

U got that right 😂😂😂

[@euminkong]

Breaking Bad didn't teach me

[@beans929]

Seems like college tries to made it more difficult than it really is. But this video explained it very simple.

[@sophiem7770]

B R O 2 minute video and I literally understand it now god bless

[@bonniestrode6159]

Oh my GOODNESS this is amazing! This is the first video I've watched that explained this concept in a way I could understand. Thank you for speaking slowly without any showy graphics. So wonderful!

[@ericbas_]

One explanation to make my academic life easier Thank you very much

[@MsStanford]

A 2 minute video gives a better explanation than an entire chapter in my book. When will these authors understand quickly getting to the point will help students. It’s all about their own egos.

[@parvathyrajeesh6583]

FR!!!!!

[@biometalguy1]

I love the thing how short and, nevertheless, useful this video is. Thank you

[@hosoiarchives4858]

Very poorly done

[@kaitlynk5301]

thank you so much this video helped to simplify something that for some reason i just could grasp in class. No extra detail just the info needed to understand WHAT they are. Once again thank you very much!

[@sethikavihas2295]

Short, well-explained and I really hope that schools would start to teach like this

[@alondraherrera4170]

still dont get it

[@myusernameissoobnoxiouslyl1466]

My chemistry teacher for our test let's us use our phones for our "calculators." lmao thanks

[@mdahsenmirza2536]

My username is so obnoxiously long and there is absolutely nothing you can do about the matter too good to be true

[@Savannahhh._.]

This was the only video I could find that I actually understood. Thank you:)

[@yasermc4434]

Thank you thank you You just saved me from failing in my exam.

[@kaustubhmohapatra4706]

Thank you for the quick, simple and excellent explanation.

[@thesupernaturals1070]

You just explained to me clearly in 2 minutes what I didnt understand through reading a pointless overly detailed college textbook. Visual aids are a thousand times better.

[@kuldeeppandey1275]

Concise but extremely fruitful ❤

[@samantha5199]

Pray all went well❤

[@leewalker120]

What determines type of bond? Seems like sharing would work in both cases.

[@fadyali7023]

Ionic bonds are made up from 1 non metal atom and another metal atom. covalent bonds are usually made up from the same type (both metal or both non-metal)

[@atlerhidolf]

Ionic involve transfering of valence electron of cation to anion. If covalent is just simply sharing of electron

[@pootisgaming862]

Just putting this to 2x speed saved me 1:23

[@lightningfan]

short and right to the point, just like everything should be! thank you

[@atheablairarroyo4340]

Thanks!! I sleep when we discussed this at school so now I nees to watch videos about this just to perfect or do better at our upcoming exam.

[@beyondblessedbudgets6901]

this made so much sense omg thank you

[@winneriruke9104]

Very clear presentation, thanks for video

[@jashvanth_gaming7677]

Legends watching one day before exams. Teacher explained in school today. Did not understand. I just watched this and understood. If i had watched this 1 year before i could have remembered

[@xiomara1039]

Watching this 30 minutes before a makeup bio exam. I actually think I got this yall

[@MariC_2]

Finally I can understand the difference!! I think I'm a visual learner after all

[@260xs2]

thank you very much i understood alot from this video and i dont know how to stop thanking you for your hard work and your dedication toward this video

[@Some_username-zo3rs]

This helped me understand more than whatever my teacher taught the entire semester

[@joshua-jayechan465]

Could someone please explain why an atom has a "positive" charge when "giving up" an electron? Wouldn't it have a negative charge instead?

[@hannahkimball.203]

i put personality to atoms and its helped me. when an atom is generous and gives up an electron, they gain a point because they did a good deed (aka- become positively charged). the other atom was selfish in receiving or taking an electron, so they lost a point, because taking things is mean (aka- become negatively charged). in human relationships we know that opposites attract (supposedly) and the same thing happens with ions (we know ions is the word for those [+or-] charged atoms). that attraction of ions is the bond

[@dyzentalhaaslam9147]

If chlorine still needs sodium due to proton deficit problem he better had made a covalent instead because in the end CHLORINE STILL WAS NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE SCENE WITHOUT TAKING SODIUM WITH IT. Kinda covalent style dont you think

[@ardenmiller5989]

This was super clear and helpful 👏🏻👏🏻

[@solrogersmullins5973]

This is mostly correct but you are forgetting rutherfords 3rd law of hydrodynamics. Covelent bonding is only avalable if the forth ion is on special conditions. This is unless you are bonding more than two or four atoms or ions.

[@Kwint0n]

Yes, I'm a proffesor in Rutherfordian esque chemistræ and I myself can indeed confirm that this is truthful.

[@dawnslayerz4129]

@@Kwint0n lollllll

[@ricardo_with_clothes]

could not find a better video

[@ramyadondapati4688]

Thank you

[@ildart8738]

Sad that this is not taught in high school nowadays. We learned about ionic/covalent/cis/trans bonds in grade 10/11.

[@Jay2423M]

straight to the point, no 12 minute bullshit

[@fajita1832]

Awesome!

[@wedgewizard5429]

I heard if covalent bonds ceased to exist, that atoms would fuse together making fusion powered explosions everywhere. Just the water in a 90kg person fusing hydrogen and oxygen together would make and explosion equivalent to 340kg of dynamite. Not sure how accurate that was, but they did sound very confident.

[@perriannesimkhovitch1127]

The excitation binding energy for one element was found to be equivalent to the ground state of another. It did not matter who the periodic table order reversers were as the volume, density an Rate and pressure compadres in the search for 'n' were as both fusion and fission were at rest in the happy star

[@pyrusspangj]

So covalent is attraction by electrons and ionic is attraction by opposing charges?

[@sameerkeeran9679]

Which one is stronger between covalent and ionic bond ?

[@reshma4904]

Ionic Bond👍

[@kingmerkulov1754]

The best explantion iv seen very clear and simple

[@dpa4434]

ගොඩක් හොඳයි.වටිනවා

Hey guys it’s me Damien I love this video it is my favorite poop tube video

[@nevan2675]

This is such a good video thanks so much

[@3dartstudent973]

Thank u so much for the useful and clear lesson.

[@prasadrajrvbsnl104]

⭐Lovely explanation ⭐

[@Niyah-uk8bu]

This actually helped me

[@zuzanka77]

Thank you! This is the only video I should have watched, you made it so simple 😅

[@swathibalaji1436]

I’m doing my homework This video is very helpful

[@keziahcadena2001]

This cleared up literally 7 years of confusion. I deadass couldn’t catch this concept 💀

[@speedyghost4605]

science teacher made me watch

[@MM-ex5kz]

Very helpful

[@TheOfficialYoutubeCommenter]

thanks

[@isabelcastillo9541]

Teacher: what example did you guys come up with to memorize why they're attracted to each other? Class: Opposites attract each other! My ARMY ass: Suga and J-hope...because they have opposite personalities and are attracted to each other forming sope. So, if you're an ARMY and need an example, use this ;)

[@taethebabylion1227]

Thank you for this 😭😂

[@adityajadhav1342]

From this video I got Another level of understanding. thanks for uploading.

[@randomkid7672]

THANK YOU this sums up all the science class i was not listening to lol you a life saver i have a test 👍👍👍

[@dennisgitonga3925]

omg I had no idea thank you for sharing this information

[@lauratorres5243]

Buen video mi master

[@pbhello]

I wonder what causes the molecules to become slightly positive or negatively charged, even if they have the same number of electrons on their outer shells?

[@pbhello]

i figured it out to a certain degree. since electrons are negatively charged, giving an electron away makes that atom more positive than it was before. and an atom that receives an electron now becomes more negatively charged.

[@valadq632]

I love how to the point this is but for the compound sodium chloride IT IS JUST "Table Salt." It is NOT JUST Table Salt. Table salt is often iodized (iodine is an essential micronutrient, and this is one way to introduce it into the diet in the right amount). According to Wikipedia, Edible salt can be iodised by spraying it with a potassium iodate or potassium iodide solution. 60 ml of potassium iodate, costing about US $1.15 (in 2006), is required to iodise a ton of salt. Dextrose is added as a stabilizer to prevent potassium iodide from oxidizing and evaporating. Anti-caking agents such as calcium silicate are commonly added to table salt to prevent clumping. Elsewhere, Wikipedia mentions other anti-caking agents, like sodium ferrocyanide, sodium aluminosilicate, and magnesium carbonate. And they point out that salt may also be "fortified" with iron or other micronutrients. The certificate of analysis for "ultra pure NaCl" from American Bio shows TRACE amounts of aluminum, arsenic, bromides, heavy metals, iron, magnesium, phosphates, and sulfates. Those impurities may well be expected in table salt, too. So impurities other than Sodium Chloride made by several corporations can really wreak havoc on one's system. Chemists and Biologists Really Need to stop Saying Sodium Chloride as your "Everyday Table Salt."

Preachin' the truth.

[@farhanshah5966]

Isn't covalent bond supposed to be in within the same elements ?

[@mahaddar7103]

Well explained

[@priyadarshani9980]

thanks alot

What do middle school classmates and a lecture on ionic and covalent bonds have in common?

[@mdahsenmirza2536]

Marsha Creary what ?

[@nurzamarul6047]

Onpoint

[@yuliyani6508]

Sorry Sir. I permit to use this video for learning media. Can I have a contact with Sir?🙏

[@houstonswisha143]

Could anyone explain the concept in 3 or less sentences but is thorough? I understand it but need to condense my explanation

[@angiece635]

Hay un error al final del video. NaCl es un compuesto, no una molécula, ya que es un compuesto iónico.

[@aaronsanders1999]

thank you!!

While at a Hyundai dealership I saw a poster with a ghostbuster reference which read Carbon: Your engine's dirty little secret

[@vinuvinod3552]

thank you mam

[@club8259]

Thank you for this my teacher made this very complicated and I like the short consice vidoe

[@matthewkonkol6717]

but why don't sodium and chloride combine covalently?

[@heyborttheeditor1608]

What about covalent bonds though?
