[6:41] Finding formal charge
[8:24] Extra Formal charge practice: Formal Charge Shortcut
This video shows you a quick, time-saving checklist for radicals in Lewis structures! It ensures you don't miss anything when deciding WHICH atom most likely has the radical. You'll also see it in action as it is applied to several examples.

[@shref816]

thank you so much i now understand why we put 7 electrons instead of 8 in superoxide

[@Leah4sci]

Awesome!

[@KennedyVandenbroucke]

HI LEAH!! I wanted to drop a THANKYOUUU because I have had the hardest time with organic chemistry and you have just helped me so much this semester, my exam is tomorrow and thanks to you I'm going to pass!

[@Leah4sci]

You are so very very very welcome! I hope today's exam was a success

[@mythologicalfacts7652]

But here the octet of 2nd oxygen of superoxide ion still not complete????

[@Leah4sci]

Yes, that’s correct. For a radical structure like this one, it would be impossible for both atoms to have a complete octet (as 8 is an even number). It is possible to have Lewis structures with incomplete octets. Usually, these kinds of structures are highly unstable and reactive, as we know to be the case with radicals.

[@purvahole9509]

OMG thank you for this! Now it's crystal clear to me❤️

[@Leah4sci]

So glad this video helped!

[@YK-ie2cn]

Hi! Very useful video. Is there any video also about the VSEPR of the radical? Thank you

[@Leah4sci]

All of my free resources on Radicals, including their hybridization and geometry, can be found in the tutorial at Leah4sci.com/Radical

[@sumiyahossan2307]

PLEASE POST MORE ORGO 2 videos!! BTW you are amazing.

[@Leah4sci]

Thank you! which topics are you working on right now?

[@shinjikagawa4358]

Most valuable 8:40 of my life😇

[@Leah4sci]

Happy to hear that!

[@bmn9060]

Hi, I’m wondering about Anatomy is there any videos?

[@Leah4sci]

Sorry no, I have mostly orgo videos on this channel.

[@bmn9060]

Thanks..

[@salmanihadj9946]

wow ; that was amazing . thanks

[@Leah4sci]

You're very welcome

[@mukesh2400]

Nice video, love u , Fischer trop reaction can u make video

[@Leah4sci]

which reaction?

[@bluerascal370]

Radical, dude! 😎

[@Leah4sci]

Cowabunga!

[@alexd.1156]

Do you need to take a electron from a central atom or any atom with a lone pair? Also this is a great video

[@alexd.1156]

An example like Si2Cl5

[@Leah4sci]

In drawing a radical Lewis structure, we want to remove electrons in whatever places allow us to have our final formal charges closest to zero. Typically, you’ll see electrons removed from the least electronegative atom in the structure.

[@USHANLAKMALPunchihewa]

wow, that one is awesome.

[@Leah4sci]

thanks

[@Zayn6556]

Thank you

[@Leah4sci]

You're welcome

[@orcgaming3594]

can u please made a video on fischer projection

[@Leah4sci]

Already have: Leah4sci.comfischer

[@maheenfatma4694]

Thankyou maam❤️

[@Leah4sci]

You're welcome 😊

[@haroonrasheed3676]

Pl explain for oxide ion .and peroxide also

[@Leah4sci]

I'm sorry, but I don't offer tutoring through KZbin comments. For help with questions like this and more, I recommend you join the organic chemistry study hall. Details: leah4sci.com/join or contact me through my website leah4sci.com/contact/

[@purvahole9509]

In NO can't we just say N will lose an electron for it is more electropositive?

[@Leah4sci]

I'm not sure at which point in the video you're asking about

[@mukesh2400]

Thanks mam

[@Leah4sci]

you're welcome

[@agriocean]

Mam pls make video on iit jee questions

[@Leah4sci]

Sorry but I'm not very familiar with the exam

[@fearishowifall4192]

Mam why don't you upload video regularly BTW your videos helps me a lot love u mam

[@Leah4sci]

Thank you! I took a break over the summer since many students are out of school. I will be posting more regularly during the Fall semester

[@EyiessendoneRigobert]

Ur lewis structure of oxygene isn't correct...

[@Leah4sci]

At which point in the video?

[@orcgaming3594]

cool

[@Leah4sci]

Thanks!

[@benebutterbean2737]

Doesn't diatomic have a double bond? Your Oxygen looks like a halogen...

[@Leah4sci]

Diatomic = 2 atoms not necessarily with a double bond.

[@benebutterbean2737]

@@Leah4sci I know, but an Oxygen molecule has a double bond...or does that lone electron swing around to make that double bond?

[@benebutterbean2737]

...and I like your series...a lot...
