Resonance Made Easy! Finding the Most Stable Resonance Structure - Organic Chemistry

Resonance Made Easy! Are you struggling with Resonance structures or just don't really get what's going on when you do it? Well it's just the movement of electrons from one region to another. This used to be one of my most dreaded things to do in Orgo I after NMRs. But eventually I figured out a better way of thinking about it and I show you guys in this video! Don't forget to check out the "bloops" at the end and see the struggles of Orgo Made Easy. =D

Hi Everyone! We just released our new Orgo Made Easy Podcast series! 🎉 Be sure to check it out, we had so much fun making this one for you and this is what we're envisioning the next phase of Orgo Made Easy to be like! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKqppH2CmNuGsLs

[@markmiller2494]

I spent several hours reading over my college textbook and notes, staring at these problems in frustration...And it literally only took me a few minutes to understand from your video! Gold star for you, sir!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

+Mark Miller Wooo! First Gold Star! :D Glad to hear that I could help. Btw Mark, if you're interested in possibly getting a free tutoring session with me, you should check out my Patreon Page which has a Free Tutoring Lottery option! (www.patreon.com/OrgoMadeEasy)

[@blaakcoffee]

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@skylarmimikyu7844]

lol i am studying this in high school

[@emloto5]

“It’s okay if you make it, don’t worry” 🥺 I appreciate you

[@drrx4444]

You sir just turned hour lecture into 10 mins of my time! I have no idea why professors cant teach like this! Amazing!

[@lisa5hot]

LOLLLL trueeeeeee

[@saramalek9202]

You taught me this concept better in 8 minutes than my orgo prof did in two weeks... you're magic

[@yansirreaviles5036]

I'm in tears. Taking my MCAT in two weeks and I COULD NOT master this concept. It would cost me so many questions on my full length practice exams. I finally get it and can apply it. You have a gift not many have so thank you for using it and being a blessing for me and so many others. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!!

[@Chibbit1000]

This completely changed the way I look at resonance structures. It cleared so much up for me! Thank you !

[@michaelkagan5451]

its imperative to memorize when the main elements used in Orgo are at a neutral formal charge. O at 2 bonds 2 lone pairs; N at 3 bonds 1 lone pair; C at 4 bonds 0 lone pairs; halogens at 3 lone pairs 1 bond. If you remember these rules it makes everything clear. It just becomes an easy logic puzzle (you can also calculate formal charges on anything if you're not sure by applying the formula: Group number of element - (bonds attached to element + lone pair electrons))

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

+Michael Kagan That's a really great point! It's something I've been meaning to make a video on, but never quite got a chance to.

[@ClaudiaMartinez-nl3hx]

YOU ARE GREAT! Thank you for taking your time to explain this to us and help so many people. Your videos are a mixture between fun and great explanations. Thanks again and keep on doing this! You save many lives by doing this haha !

[@rohanbhatt9042]

YOU'RE THE BEST. I mean, I read all I could about it, and still not get clarity, but watching this 8 minute video, possibly cleared all my doubts. Keep it up, bro!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Rohan Bhatt Thanks Rohan! I'm glad it could do all that for you. lol Thanks again for the support. #ThanksForMakingMyDay

[@lmaojppp123]

Right lmao

[@snlvl]

I've discovered your channel now and I have my Organic Chemistry test on Tuesday. I will see all your videos to check I know everything I need to know. Btw, thank you very much for this one. It has been really helpful for me (sometimes I just think about moving all bonds and this have cleared my ideas! ) ^^

[@absolutelyjesse]

Thank you so much. I was struggling with resonance and your explanation of "filling in the gap" where there are positively charged atoms really flipped a switch in my mind. Awesome video!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

You’re welcome!! All of Orgo can be this easy 😉

[@Sleipnirseight]

THANK YOU!!!! You made this much easier to understand. I've spent so much time watching other videos, taking notes in lecture, etc., but you made the seemingly impossible become possible in under eight minutes. I will definitely be watching your other videos!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

+Sleipnirseight Thanks a bunch for the comment! I didn't see yours until now, but it's super motivating so I had to reply. :D Are you all done with Orgo now?

[@leiafuller3868]

Thank you for making this. I have an exam soon and resonance structures are the only thing I didn't understand. I've been stressing about it for so long and suddenly it makes sense!

[@sulemmaC]

My teacher saw me doing the resonance problem saying amazing trick but untill she knew that i was copying step by step from the book.Thanks bro ,now I can solve problem of this particular topic.

[@sourlemonice]

You are amazing! Please keep creating videos, you're a wonderful teacher :)

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Thanks Emma! :] That's the plan! Thanks for watching!

[@ellareshef6760]

Thank you so much!! Took me so long to get my head around this but your video has cleared it all up!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Our new Orgo Made Easy Podcast series is out! 🎉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKfUgWuQaZqlfbs

[@Chicken-ev1ln]

Omfg your explanation is so concise I’m amazed. Since covid happened, all my classes have been moved to online platforms and org chem is one of subjects I’m struggling in. You’re better than my professor 😭😭😭

[@galacticpills]

This totally made my concept clear thank you so much!

[@coldplay303]

I love the way u teach, so attracting and clear!!!! Can't tell how grateful I am!!!!

[@aladdinsaramah3236]

Watching your videos during the pandemic is a lifesaver, I have no clue how to study anymore due to the lack of effort my professors are putting in, by them only giving us simple slides with no explanation & detail. Thank you!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Glad my videos could help Aladdin! 😄 Best of luuuuck!

[@sarthaksharma9322]

Frank , I study in 11th grade in India and really saying your teaching technique was really really really awesome. It was extremely good and intuitive your name is frank and your teaching technique is also "frank" keep it up brother , it was just gooooood. and I want to ask that what if we are given with a neutral molecule then also we have to follow the same steps?

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

+Sarthak Sharma Thanks! :D It's always great to hear feedback from students like you, makes it all worth it in the end. :] And yes for neutral molecules, you have to look for atoms with lone pairs (usually NItrogen or Oxygen) that can resonante and move them to form double bonds usually.

[@sarthaksharma9322]

Okay frank , thanks a lot now really if anyone say to me hey can you build some resonance structures , I can make them easily thanks to you ....

[@michellemichael1447]

TheLazyLearner omggggg #indainsquad XDDDDDDDDD

[@beautifulclanton26]

Ommmgggg Thank you so much...i literally spent an whole semester confused on this concept..but you cleared it up..Significantly THANK YOU

[@hannahstarkman6228]

fantastic video . i dint understood it earlier .but now it is clear to me .thank you Wong.

[@raghurammuthyala1023]

I dont think this is amazing video! Because, this video is beyond amazing! Simply superb! Excellent work! Keep it up and keep posting videos like this. Thanks!!! :)

[@Kurogane-el2vq]

I just started organic chemistry for my sem :3 thanks for such an educational video.this is definately gonna be very helpful. I'm glad I'm able to find this early enough

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

kuro Gane No problem Kuro! I'm glad it could help! :] If you ever need tutoring from me or any of my tutors feel free to reach out to me at [e-mail]! Best of luck!

[@GuineaPigLuna]

Thank you so much! This finally gave me a breakthrough in orgo!

[@theyellowsparks]

All those university lectures I sat through and I didn't understand a damn thing. Mostly bc the professor didn't put much emphasis on the overall key point; or if while he/she did, I got distracted by the person sitting in front of me or the person next to me or the guy diagonally from me poking his nose mid-lecture. This cleared my cloud of "resonance structures are too abstract"...thank you for making my life better by making this topic less anxiety-producing. Also, I didn't have to pause and rewind as I do with a lot of videos because you emphasized the purpose of resonance structures so clearly. It makes it easier to not get sidetracked mid problem when I clearly know the end purpose. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Make more videos! And I already liked and subscribed!

[@Yash-ut2qn]

very good video literally provides a definate path for resonance ...... again good videos... make more of it....... really helpful

[@nicolassardella7897]

Great explanation- this helped so much and you explained everything very clearly!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Thanks! I'm glad it could help! Be sure to watch the follow up series "Finding Resonance Structures Made Easy" for extra practice as well!

[@rahulprakash7607]

this kind of explanation is quite awesome.....i've been going mad to understand resonance but your video helped me a lot ....thank u sir .....

[@iluvemehhh]

You explained it so well, and in such a short time! Thank you :)

[@carolinesong2568]

This is my first time really understand this thing... thank you so much!!!

[@sm24572]

Really man, I messed up resonating structures like each and every time I did it... Now I am finally doing it right, all of it! Thank you!

[@princessangel1001]

This was so clear and easy to understand!! Thank you!!!

[@jenniferkuhlman273]

This was super helpful, thank you!

[@Messihair10]

I'm sure many people watch this for help in their organic class. I just want to make sure everyone can use this as a resource, I wanted to let you know your captions are slightly off. At 3:28 it says "so if there is a pot if" instead of "if there is a positive". But this video is great and extremely helpful! Keep it up!

[@brithenkin]

I had never thought of it this way! Thank you so much!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Yaaas! Pass these tricks along to your friends too! :]

[@shelseaalejandro6222]

Thank you! You helped me understand resonance 😊

[@rizviwarrior1]

Loved your energy and ofc the video helped a lot too!

[@annalisecooper3819]

I went through hours of studying, for you to explain it to me in 10 min. I literally can't explain how grateful I am for this video. Do you still tutor?

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Just saw your comment! Yes!! I’ve still been tutoring/probably will for the rest of my life. 😊 #NoRetirementForMe Hope Orgo went/is going well! Feel free to reach out [e-mail] for tutoring! Rates range from $60-$150/HR depending on which tutor/how early in the semester students sign up! 😀

[@engb1446]

[@christopherallbright3749]

Man oh man.......Frank.....I cant thank you enough for actually teaching something. I absolutely despise my o chem professor because he literally just narrates going through the structure and doesnt EXPLAIN ANYTHING!!!!!!! It really sucks professors like him have such a comfy job and truly do not teach a damn thing. Its just a job they show up to. THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@jasonchan2590]

THIS VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL

[@amritangural3789]

wonderful teaching sir..! that point that 2 electrons should be shifted to bond and not carbon was the reason i was failing. hands down to u sir...!

[@melissaholcombe3958]

Can you cover formal charges? I watched your other resonance vids. This is the best one if you have a basic understanding for resonance! I am glad I did not give up watching. Thanks.

[@OrgoMadeEasy]

Thanks for watching Melissa! I’ll add that to the list 👍🏼🙂. Any specific Qs about formal charges? Also if you or any friends are looking for a tutor my team and I still have availabilities and rates range from $80-$180/HR depending on the tutor.

[@nanguyen439]

thank you!! I am watching this for an exam on Friday and it helps!!!!

[@OrgoMadeEasy]
