THESE ARE THE BEST VIDEOS I HAVE EVER STUMBLED UPON FOR CHEMISTRY HL RESOURCES. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPLOAD THE REST OF THE TOPICS!!!:))))

[@jovanakovacevic398]

In this one video, i have had so much cleared up. be it how to use curly arrows and how these mechanisms work. Hopefully it pulls through on my exam on wednesday!!

[@beepbobeep4594]

I can’t believe this. I love you so much. You’ve saved me!! This was so concise and easy to understand and visualise all in one place. Thank you so so much

[@ChemJungle]

You are very welcome :)

[@stepanermilov7531]

Thank you very much:) Much needed revision for my M23 P2 HL which starts in about 7 hours

[@amiabellaneda3779]

Hi! I love your videos so much and have found that they help tremendously when revising for topic exams. I was wondering if you could make a video on Topic 3 (Periodicity)? (Similar to the ones you made on Topics 1 and 2) Thank you so much and keep on doing what you're doing!

[@flufflepuffle8937]

Your videos are the only thing that has helped me properly understand chemistry. I hope to see more videos from you soon!

[@ChemJungle]

Awesome, thank you!

[@norikasroubkova4314]

Hi I love your videos and they help me a lot in IB chemistry. I was wondering if you could do a video on Chapter 4 and 14? That would help me a lot.

[@alexthegreat704]

Can we get a topic 4/14!!!

[@wendy3182]

Ngl this is the first organic chem video I was able to understand. Thanks so much!

[@ChemJungle]

You're most welcome :)

[@mariastoian1173]

Finally getting to grips with these, thank you so much!! What topic are you covering next? :))

[@ChemJungle]

Not sure yet! Maybe Periodicity.... I'm working on the questions at the moment but have been very busy with the baby!

[@tanvisoni6169]

can you please make one on periodic table

[@rishi1789]

i love you you make organic chemistry so much easier

[@ChemJungle]

Happy to help!

[@ahhkg]

Your explanation is just brilliant my dear! Keep up the great work. From an educator

[@ChemJungle]

Glad you liked it!

[@majawysocka9492]

respect !!!!!!!

[@ChemD]

HI I was wondering which program you use to annotate over the PDF's? Thank you so much for the excellent videos

[@user-ug7rk9tt3m]

Usually we use "goodnotes" or "notability"

[@ChemJungle]

Hi David, sorry for the late reply - I use goodnotes!

[@ChemD]

@@ChemJungle Thank you so much for the reply, please keep up the great work

[@user-hx8ue6ij8k]

This is awesome, please do topic 4/14!!

[@ChemJungle]

I don't have time to do more at the moment but if you want to join revision club with me feel free to join up via Instagram! @chem.jungle

[@alvinandthechipmunks5736]

Topic 4/14 and 6/16 pleaseeeeee

[@alvinandthechipmunks5736]

I loveee your vidoes soooooo muchh I really wish you were my teacher 😣💔 please do topic 6 and 4🤧🤧

[@ChemJungle]

You're welcome! More videos coming soon :)

[@audrey9302]

PLEASE DO THE REST OF tHE TOPIC PLS PLS PLSSSSSS ❤

[@ChemJungle]

I'm not working on these at the moment but might in the future :) If you want to join revision club with me feel free to join up via Instagram! @chem.jungle

Can you do haber’s cycle? Plzzz❤ ?

[@ChemJungle]

I can! I'll try to make a video on Born Haber cycles in the next week or two

[@michelleenkhsaikhan]

@@ChemJungle thank you so much!

[@ChemJungle]

Uploaded now!

[@michelleenkhsaikhan]

@@ChemJungle yep, I watched it. Thank you!

[@Joe-kj8oy]

Is this similar to the 2025 syllabus?

[@ChemJungle]

Hey! This is almost identical in the 2025 syllabus. They've removed the formation of the nitronium ion from the electrophilic substitution reaction and the SL are now required to know the 2 arrows in nucleophilic sub (but not the intermediate/transition states) but otherwise the mechanisms and expected understanding are the same
