Lewis Dot Structures of Ionic and Covalent Compounds

[@papito7757]

With so many students who suffer with other teachers who dont explain this theme this well, I have to say you have to be underpaid. No way those other teachers should be near your salary. This video got 234 thousand views. That's 234 thousand people walking away with clarity. That's got to be worth alot!

[@carriesparks8973]

You helped me go from a C to an A in College Chemistry after being out of school for 10+ years. Now I'm on the Dean's list! THANK YOU!

[@michellewysowski3739]

You have no idea how helpful this video was for me. I watch a video of yours on what we're learning every night before a test. I don't know what I would do without them!

[@alexreichling66]

Dude.. You are a life saver. I understood more of what you were talking about in 47 minutes than what my teacher tried to teach us in 2 weeks.

[@eileenaremu4760]

omg i cant even explain how much i appreciate this video, it seems like all the other videos start at the middle and i cant figure out where it ends. thank you so much, you just saved me from failing this class.

[@johnkolb1472]

I have learned more from you in this 47 minutes than in 9 weeks. I did not get three way bonding until this video. You rock AS LONG AS I listen. Very happy I watched this.

[@AddisonPhilips]

BRAVO Mr. P!! His simple explanation of drawing the red square around the nonmetal atom finally made me understand this business of lone pairs! It has been many years since I learned this incorrectly back in college. Now, as an old duffer, I FINALLY GET IT!! Mr. P can teach an old dog new tricks.

[@meyermom42]

OH MY GOODNESS! I thought I would NEVER understand Chemistry. Papapodcast you have saved my life! I love you!!!!! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH for posting this and all of your demonstrations. God bless you!

[@iupTeeLuke]

You are a fantastic teacher. I've watched and read other instructions on Lewis dot diagrams and each time they show you what they did but never explains why they do everything that they do - that is essential and you nailed. Thank you so much.

[@Darachay]

This is the best 46 minutes i spent learning... Im taking this class for two months and didnt learn as musch as today. Thank you very very much

[@Papapodcasts]

Awww thank you for those kind words. They mean a lot to me. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your experience with my video. Best of luck with your studies. Mr.P

[@aguirrecole]

got really frustrated going through my teachers power point and almost decided to go to bed with the test being tomorrow. I thought i might check you tube so i found this and i am ready for the test tomorrow. Thanks so much dude keep up the good work im surprised at how good you are at teaching.

[@BIHFORU]

I am taking pre-admission Chem. I have to admit that i have never had someone explain something so well! Great work. Thank you for posting this video!

[@AbiSophieHolland123]

You are fantastic, you explain it better than any teacher I've had. THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeang1667]

Thank you for posting this video. I have a test tomorrow and this is helping me review my lecture slides easily without the hassle I would usually have...I am not very good at just learning from paper. I need the visual example. This is helping so many people succeed and I am happy to be one of them.

[@alliyahteh]

BEST PERIODIC TABLE CHANNEL EVER. THANKS FOR MAKING ME ACE MY EXAAAMS

[@anastasiawise209]

Seriously a Chemistry Hero! Unfortunately not all chemistry professors have the ability to teach clearly, because they are so deep in the chemistry world that they cannot simplify their teaching for the basics. However you can! Thank you so much! Your students are very lucky!

[@carlosharris8817]

Sir; that was a simple and clear explanation. I was having trouble explaining these concepts to my daugther. But it was the blind leading the blind. After watching your video, I got the ability to make these concepts clear so she understands. Thank you.

[@Fannyalexgirl]

i have been struggling with bonding/compounds for weeks. Thank you for explaining it in such a simple yet extensive way. You're a great teacher!

[@Im-me504]

Omg you are a true life savor! You just made not only this very easy to understand but allowed me to make the connection on how to balance equations.:-)

[@RiceEater412]

This is WAY easier than my chemistry teacher taught me.Her lesson on this was hella confusing. dude you are my savior!

[@adannacarter2605]

I rely on your videos to help me with my chemistry homework, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. You are the best!!!!!!!

[@runningchic234]

Wow. This is awesome. My teacher actually gave us a link to your videos. His class is basically watching other teachers' videos. Haha. I didn't understand it at all until I watched your video. You sir, deserve an award.

[@hkill09]

So, I'm a junior in high school and chemistry is definitely not my subject. I have a semester exam tomorrow based on everything we've learned in the past eighteen weeks. I literally have only understood around 20% of everything we've learned. My teacher is a great guy, just not the best teacher (in my opinion). But I checked out your channel tonight and I believe you are the reason I'll be passing this exam tomorrow and this semester. You're awesome, can't thank you enough!

[@majesticmami86]

Thank You so much!!! I finally understand with your way of teaching...You have taken away alot of my frustrations and given my confidence again...

[@mslittleunfaithful]

Missed chemistry class today 'cause I called in sick. I was afraid to ask my teacher for the DVD which she burned your video in. And luckily my classmates were kind enough to tell me the title. Glad I really looked into it. This is great. Thank you, sir.

[@StevoFTWin]

im learning this in CP physical science and did not understand how to do this till now. Thank you. Your an amazing teacher

[@rutstrutquack]

I love you, my teacher is useless so I just search for a lesson on your channel every night and learn from you instead.

[@isperera]

our class took like 3 days to understand how to do this. This video alone was enough for me to get it. your amazing. your like Chemistry God.

[@qwertkinz]

Thanks for the lesson! My teacher is Russian and EXTREMELY hard to understand and has no teaching abilities at all. You were really helpful! :)

[@hamdroo]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU ARE A FANTASTIC TEACHER. i am a sophmore taking AP chem. you helped me understand this so well! my textbook and ap chem teacher didnt explain the bonding sites concept and i did not understand which element becomes the central atom. you very clear and helpful.

[@Libertycrab]

Hi, this video was so informative and as the other commenters said, the way you EXPLAIN it makes you a marvelous teachers. Thanks so much for helping me in my 9th grade studies!

[@speed991]

Thank you so much i have cought up 2 weeks before my exam of nearly my entire course thanks to you you explain everything so well THANK YOU

[@dhlcfnigel]

My Goodness .. You are hilarious,amazing and unbelieveable Sir ! You helped me alot .. before watching your great video i did not even know how to Draw Lewsi Dot Structures ! And now i feel im ready for our exams tom. I was about to surrender in studying this lesson then i just found this excelent people teaching the chemical Bonds !! WONDERFUL may GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS SIR ... my time is worth it .. totally worth it .,, Thank you very much sir ,. Love ya !!

[@SPYSpreads]

thanks your the best. love your videos...... i really appreciate how you spent almost an hour talking and teaching us. God bless!

[@bsmoe1]

great video ! You explained the topic as detailed as you could , also understandable . Thank you ! Great job

[@Hash849]

Great job. After years I now do understand how it works. Thanks again. Keep doing this thankful job.

[@ElTornadoDeLaTri]

Dude I am in 10th grade and I have an exam about this tomorrow! I did not understand a word my teacher said. I watched your video and now I am sure that I will get an A. Thank you a lot Mr.P!!

[@Chsch5]

YOU ROCK!!!!!! you saved my life. Thank you

[@shayalpatel1834]

i wish i saw this yesterday :(

[@demonnator1]

Thanks for the lessons... Very good for Year 10 In AUS. Great revision; Worth the 46min, definitely. Covers chemistry very well. -Demonnator

[@roder95]

Your such a good teacher, I think im gonna def get an A instead of a D on my test tomorrow thanks to you

[@savannahissavvy]

Literally less than five minutes in and you've helped me so much. Thank you!!!!!

[@mariaaergon2011]

THIS WAS THE BEST VIDEO EVER OMG I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH........ DEFINITELY 100000000000000000 TIMES MUCH CLEARER THAN MY TEACHER. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. MADE GR 11 CHEM EASIER

[@ChubbyPandaaaaa]

Thank you so much! i'm going to have a unit chem test in about a week and i have watched a few of your videos and they helped me a lot to understand this material!! Thank you!!!!

[@Machnimars]

Dear Mr P., I have stressed over Chemistry for two terms. Firstly, I found it extremely difficult and painful to understand all these numbers and words etc. and personally I felt that this wasn't the subject I should be taking for my Final Examinations. However, ever since I started watching your videos, I have experienced a completely different attitude towards Chemistry. I have understood what you have taught me in one go. Previously I had to get taught millions of times to understand. Thanks

[@1OpenYourMind1]

Great video, great work. My teacher also explains good but you are really the best. Explaining the bonding site was very helpful. Also showing the "messy" bonding first and the second one, was simply genius! THNAK YOU!

[@azadhayrenik]

@Papapodcasts I agree. My daughter needs a professor like you for this school year. Very very helpful! Thank you!

[@ohleaf_private]

BIG HELP. KUDOS TO THE LECTURER.. hope that all chemistry teacher would be as good as u....

[@Katieisabeastx33]

So I just took a chem test on this ... know i failed it... watched this video .... I UNDERSTAND THE WAYS OF COVALENT BONDING

[@Theparisangel]

You are an awesome teacher.I understood everything and so clearly..thank you again!!!

[@RareIceC]

You really helped me, I am going to do really good on my test, you have made me understand it so much better than how my teacher explained it

[@austo52000]

So much better than my chem teacher! Keep up the good work!

[@rangers1207]

honestly sir, you'd be the best chemistry professor in URI.

[@madyxoxo123]

this was so helpfulll! I never understood this concept til now! thankuuu keep the videos coming!

[@battlecry13]

this guy is amazing my teacher could never explain it like this, and this guy takes up much less time doing it. This seems fairly easy now, but these are just basic

[@vugina123]

thank you so much! you're better than my chem lecturer at sjsu...so much clarity!

[@Papapodcasts]

Thank you for such a flattering compliment. It really made my day. Thank you for that. Best of luck with your studies. Mr.P

[@kimy31672]

Thank you Thank you.....I was so lost in chemistry class you made it so simple and fun. Thanks again

[@thewalkingdeadfreak1]

you should be a proffesor, amazing sir, you help understand so easily!

[@MrDaballa24]

thanks for the help man. honestly i was interested and more importantly im understanding drawing these lewis structures keep it up!

[@malcolmx914]

omg i have an exam and this saved my life thank u

[@YouAreAwesomeXP]

This is soo helpful! I was freaking out when there is a test on this. Now I totally understand this. Thanks soo much!! ^_^

[@Papapodcasts]

@MrDbates11 Thank you for your comment. Best of luck with your studies. Thanks for watching. Mr. P

[@Truthseeker9176]

Great video....you make Chemistry almost seam easy. Your instruction helped so much!!!! Thank you for posting it!!!!!!! :)

[@benihana360]

thank you so much for this!!!! my teacher really doesnt teach that good and i failed everything!! i hope to pass my finals by watching your vids so ill sub :)

[@Jaclyn11495]

Thank you so much. You go at a nice slow pace very much unlike my chem professor

[@kevinlilu]

wow thanks a bunch for this! taught me more than my Chemistry Honors teacher taught me in class! :) Hope I get an A on the quiz tmrw!

[@fmahdi7454]

Best teacher ever!

[@ainafrancis2668]

Thank you very much for your video explanation. Will do great now on my exam tomorrow!!!

[@Papapodcasts]

@iupTeeLuke Thank you for those kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences. I wish you all the best with your studies. Mr.P

[@trecklerzzz]

okay... Y^Y i'm so touched I feel i could pass my test tomorrow thank you very much :)

[@slYzeRWAR]

Ok tomorrow i've chemistry exam. You know after i watched this video its completely clear ! thx a lot !.

[@Papapodcasts]

Thank you for those nice words. Yes, I did want to keep it simple and my audience was for a junior level chemistry as well as a refresher for my seniors when it comes to the simple drawing of the compounds. I hope to one day expand on this topic and discuss shapes, etc.

[@likemike252]

This is awesome, I had no idea what I was doing when I started. Now I have an idea of what's going on in class. Yh

[@antkiller9494]

thank you so much, got exams tomorrow, this will no doubt help

[@ookaysee]

you are amazing. I would do so well in chemistry if my professors were as good as you.

[@Papapodcasts]

@TechGrl101 S is one of those atoms that can expand its octet. It will bond with the 2 H's, Cl and the F and still have an unshared pair of electrons around it.

[@sobrizful]

It finally made sense; I wish I watched it earlier. Thanks for explaining well !!!!!!!

[@bailey7498]

This video helped me out so very much!!! Thankyou for making these videos

[@adrianrodriguez1982]

Thank you! This video has been extremely helpful!!! I only have one question and that is, when do you know when you can use the expanded octet for an atom? Or is it just for sulfur? Some elaboration would be nice! Thanks again

[@Multikulness]

Oh EYY MMM GYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THank You, THank You, THank YOUUUU so muchhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe this, I cant tell you how much thnk full I am!!!!!! My Honrs CHem teacher is nothing like you,,,,Would u please be my Chem teacher??? OMG!!! I have a gud feeling that I might ace tmrw's quiz!!!!!!! Thnk U again and again!!!!!!!!!!

[@h5vhh]

Excellent explanation! My textbook doesn't have good examples of these diagrams, thank you!

[@yuxuanchen5107]

thank you so much, way better than my chem teacher

[@Papapodcasts]

@altrock17 They do repel, however atoms have open orbitals to allow electrons to vacate them when they bond, so these shared electrons are not really side by side. Look up the quantum model of the atom to understand what these orbitals look like.

[@aacevedoify]

VERY CLEAR!! THANK YOU SO MUCH...YOU MADE MY LIFE EASIER!!

[@XxEMOSWORDxX]

It feels good to finally understand this. THANK YOU!

[@blueBruSea]

I have a question teacher. How would you approach more complex compounds that have atoms like something with sulfur or other exceptions to the octet rule? I know you can check by finding the formal charges but is there a good method to go about it, or do you just guess and check? Also, when do we use double/triple bonds over single?

[@Gabox2010]

Thank you so much!!! I have a test the next week!

[@chuchay785]

thank you very much...!! You helped me alot... more than my chem teacher!

[@Papapodcasts]

Thank you for any those nice words. If you want to find my videos, when you search for a topic add the word papapodcasts with your search and it will show you video that I may have made for that topic. Good luck with your studies. Mr.P

[@Papapodcasts]

The valency is the number of electrons needed to obtain a stable (full) outer shell of electrons. Oxygen needs 2 electrons to do that, hence why it would say it has a valency of 2, however, Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. Hope that helps you. Good luck with your studies. Mr.P

[@bmw1001h]

Wow. Thank you very much. my teacher taought use thiss, but i was tooo far away from board.. and she teach badly and "hard" way. Your awsome video helped me so much! I dont know how to thank you :) ^-^

[@Papapodcasts]

I'm in Toronto and hoping we have a mild winter like last year :)

[@Papapodcasts]

Thank you Lily for those kind words. I wish you best of luck with that unit test next week. Let me know how you do. Mr.P

[@Nocomments9]

sir thank you so much but do we need to put brackets and above the last example and write -2 or not?

[@Papapodcasts]

You use the valence electrons. Mr.P

[@zenfoodist]

@psalmistnpraze you don't look at the atomic number, you look for the number of valence electrons. The electron configuration for O is 1s2 2s2 2p4, so in the 2 suborbital- the outermost shell, you have a total of 6 electrons. These are your valence electrons- the ones that will react with other elements.

[@Papapodcasts]

@ayala314 Yes you are right about that. That number represents how many electrons will be around P. However we won't show the bond between P and the 3 H's as dots. Some books do. I like to use lines. Hope that helped you. Good luck on your test. Mr.P

[@raythareiz6609]

thank you so much. this video refreshes my memory for organic chem 1 :)

[@1991saab]

Mr. P, this was very helpful learning the sulfate with the dot method because the fast method isn't going to cut it anymore :(
