Polar & Non-Polar Molecules: Crash Course Chemistry #23

[@crashcourse]

There is an error in this video at 9:56, in the video we say "non-polar" but it should say "polar" The video script should say: "A molecule needs to have charge asymmetry and geometric asymmetry to be POLAR." Thank you to our audience for pointing this out!

[@amandavitti6629]

Hank: "If electrons were teenage girls, flourine would be niall horan." Me: it all makes sense now...

[@ayushipandey1083]

liked the video only for including niall horan

[@taqdisansari8523]

I can....

Me, too...

[@thatweirdguywhostalkspeopl1908]

Let me sum it up so you can let it sink in: Polar molecules: -do not have symmetry in their chemical formula -may be bonded with Hydrogen Nonpolar molecules: -Have symmetry in their chemical formula -may be composed of only 1 element -may only be composed of Hydrogen and Carbon

Just STARTING to learn this... and this went SO fast - it was confusing. I think this is more for people who are SURE of a concept and just want to review before a test, than it is for those just learning about it and want to understand the concept from the beginning. I'll be back after I'm SURE of the concept.

[@MrBlitz2000]

+Mc Kenna I use this for review. :P

[@mckenna8663]

Bob John Exactly. As a review... not an intro

[@SidPhoenix2211]

yeah, it is definitely helpful if you have some idea about the concept. me, fit example, am watching these videos to get a recap on what I wrote

[@AvatardSwag]

+Mc Kenna I think Khan Academy does a better job of introducing you to new concepts, including this concept, because I found the Khan Academy one much easier to follow. There are no graphics.

[@mckenna8663]

AvatardShwag The greatest Biology, Anatomy, & Physiology teaching videos I have found on You Tube are from a college asst professor out of California named Wendy Riggs. (Her channel is called Wendy Riggs) She explains things so clearly that I understand them MUCH better from her than with my college professor. Carrying a 98.4% in Anatomy and Physiology I this semester...and THAT miracle is pretty well because I found ;Wendy's channel... and, of course, LOTS of hard work.

[@ColonialFungus]

To those who are having trouble keeping up,(I am not making fun of I simply comment to offer advice), turning on the captions can help with absorbing all of the information. Also, get used to the fact that your not going to always get the concept the with the first explanation,(Especially with Chemistry and the b**ch particle, AKA the electron) and that is why the rewind feature should be used often. Another thing to remember is that this is meant to be an overview meant for consultation, not for in depth learning of the concept being taught in its entirety. I hope this helped.

I discovered this channel a few days ago and I love it, but I feel there may have been a couple of fairly significant slip-ups in this video. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hank says water is able to dissolve virtually anything remotely non-polar. Should he not have said that water is able to dissolve virtually anything remotely *polar*?
