Lewis Theory VII: Practice with Lewis Structures

[@nin_the_destroyer2602]

This was one of the best videos out there in helping me determine how to write Lewis Dot Structures. Adding the amount of electrons between all the elements, and dividing by two is a super handy trick.

[@BensChemVideos]

Many thanks! I'm glad it was helpful 😀

[@gregcampbell1716]

watching this for a few minutes was more helpful than a couple weeks of lectures with my professor, thanks so much!

[@manyagupta2858]

Same

[@CrysanaRamirez]

These videos have been so helpful no other video has ever mentioned adding up your valence electrons and then dividing by 2 to get the amount of electron pairs you will have love it thank you!

[@nicholasblack9054]

Over the past several days I have examined several methods for constructing a Lewis Structure. I found "Ben's Chem Videos" to be the most direct, understandable and informative. Thanks bunches Ben!

[@zuhairreza]

I agree! I am a Biology major in college, and, since I took Chem 1 a long time ago and taking Chem 2 this Fall 19 semester, I am reviewing Chem 1 materials, and working through Ben's videos has been fulfilling so far... : )

i was about to delete this e-mail earlier this morning because the topic didn't sound familiar. Little did I know that we would end up doing this EXACT TOPIC today in my Chemistry class :D Thank You!!!

[@kristentravo5161]

Figuring out the pairs of electrons really helped me! I was all over the place just adding dots; thanks.

[@ttravelingadventuress]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! My professor explained this in the most hardest way :)

[@shmkrar1153]

Thanks a lot! I got a lot of practice from these!

[@koksibrahim6551]

thanks so much for the video now i have gotten the full picture on how Lewis structures are drawn, big up for the good work.

[@kateyuan5676]

I appreciate his effort for putting all the practice in this video. It finally started to make sense to me, after I tried all the exercises while I was watching this video. Thank you.

[@zachnorton5233]

I really like how you showed to write out how many pairs there are. This is a great video!

[@Ch0mp27]

Shout out to Ben the real MVP

[@yoxylopez9778]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, so passing the test on Friday now!!!!

[@seanhunter7779]

Yoxy Lopez same here man.... my test is tomorrow lol. This guy helped a lot

[@lady007_]

I just started my AS Level in Chemistry with this topic and your video helped me pick up the pieces I missed in class. Thank you! =D

[@supawarez]

I appreciate very much for what you've put together here!

[@kirstenyu9258]

My hero! Thank you so much, I loved all the examples!! :)

[@SuperLfonseca]

Thank you very much for your step by step instruction.

[@libra.lounge]

You are a life saver!!!!!!!

[@crystalgoosecooks]

Best video explaining lewis structure! Thank you!!

[@brentvalenti6574]

big props man awesome lecture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@iks_justice]

@17:30, why doesn't Boron form a double bond with one of the Florines to get an Octet?

[@iks_justice]

+MulletR1de I actually figured this out lol. Just keep watching the videos in the "Lewis Theory" playlist. You'll finally get to "Lewis Theory XI: Incomplete Octets" and that video will have your answer lol. :)

[@norbertlim6445]

MulletR1de no cannot, because boron is in period 2 . as all period 2 doesn't have d- orbital, so it cannot expand its octet

[@mariahslittlelamb8049]

Boron is an exception to the rule

[@franciscaadusei8962]

when my teacher was teaching this i was like what the hell is this lady teaching... She has this mexican accent so i dont hear what she has been saying.. even lets not talk about her accent she doesnt even go into details..she will like and this is equal to 14electrons..i will be like where the hell did 14 come from.. i asked this lady questions almost during the whole class.. but none of my questions were answered as expected.. i did not ask her any question after some time bcos i figured out that the internet got eveything... I came home and looked for it on youtube and here i am doing this work effectively... im really undrestanding and getting this... thumbs up ben

[@lilaluft]

"... i'm gonna add the last lone pair... to form a DOUBLE BOND" sounds badass :D

[@abigailvinson8865]

Super helpful video. Thanks!

[@BensChemVideos]

@MrOlbbj5 The molecular geometry videos are on the way...I actually have a couple of videos on that, but they were filmed with my phone a long time ago and are of terrible quality, both audio and video. Unfortunately, I won't be making a video on group theory any time soon. However, there's a book called "Molecular Symmetry and Group Theory" by Alan Vincent that was really helpful to me, so I highly recommend it.

[@heronymuslex8703]

Maybe you explain this in a later video, havn't gotten there yet, but in the case of the BF3 why cant you just make a double bond with one of the Fs to complete B's octet?

[@SirBroni]

well understood but my problem is on the triple and the double bound, sometimes, I get confused on when to place the two

[@suryapoudel2643]

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

[@jackward4849]

Very helpful, thank you for the help.

[@matheusaugusto951]

thanks from Brazil

[@BensChemVideos]

You're very welcome! 😀

[@elcacdc2810]

6:10 I've a question regarding it's lewis structure. Can't the carbon and oxygen have 2 hydrogen connected to them? Since if you counted the dots, and just up 2 dots each on C&O, it's still the same answer.

[@imalbanian3235]

it really helped me too, thank you so much

[@ShoddyMussels706]

thank you so much!!

[@syedumair3172]

Thanks...Nice..It helped me a lot....

[@tootsie2610]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@luminouscali]

Thanks so much!

[@Sam-ir6iu]

mad clear..

[@agneiss-09]

Thanks!!

[@heronymuslex8703]

also is that nature a trend of all group 3 atoms?

[@mariabeatricepasion6480]

THANK YOU

[@BensChemVideos]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching 😀

[@TwiggieBoo]

Ah I love you!

[@mukeshkashyap5091]

Thanks sir

[@Lapdogst]

Couldn't you add a double bond to one of the F to the B to make everything to have an Octet?

[@xthuggiec773]

wouldn't boron be an example of resonance?

[@llamajoeteam]

My left ear liked this video

[@SogMosee]

What is electronegativity?

[@EH_888]

Why couldn't Boron form a double bond with one of the Fluorine atoms?

[@SogMosee]

My question precisely! That is what I am missing about lewis dot structures. How do you decide to use a single bond, double bond, or triple bond? I see many instances where a double or even triple bond may be possible, yet my teacher does not include them.

[@abdullaomer1068]

who can solve O3 .. ? need help
