Octet Rule & Valance Charges - Clear & Simple

[@caetechclub]

You have just lifted a cloud that has been looming over me. I just had about 3 lightbulb moments all in one video! Thank you so much! I came looking for octet rule and now have a CLEAR understanding of electron configurations.

[@sciencepost]

+Keya Clayton SO cool to hear! Thanks for sharing.

[@jemchung306]

you're better at explaining than my teacher. thanks for saving me.

[@sciencepost]

That is the coolest thing to hear. Thanks for not quitting but being persistent, and finding a lesson that worked for you. Tune in again sometime. Peace.

[@MikeyRox44]

I love that "a-ha!" moment where everything finally clicks and makes sense! Thank you!

[@sciencepost]

MikeyRox44 SO cool to hear! Thumbs up to you for not quitting! Continue to go big!

[@masaobrown1339]

YOU SAVED MY CHEMISTRY GRADE!!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brandikoone713]

Awesome video. My teacher and the book were lacking in explaining why and how this rule works. Now I totally understand what exactly is going on. Thank you!

[@albertosymon5416]

loved this video, I'm out of h.s. for about 45 years now, but it was worth bookmarking. I'll never forget this lesson, god-willing. thanks

[@gracegodinez3467]

rarely take the time to comment on videos but I had to thank you and let you know that this just made my life 10x easier! Taking an online chem class is not that greatest thing in the world...

[@sciencepost]

Thanks, I appreciate the good vices. Best wishes with the online course, stop back again

[@NDoe-sn4oj]

I feel like a complete genius now that I understand this. Thank you sooooo much.

[@danieljoseph2647]

the doubts i had for 4 years solved in 10 mins...THANK YOU

[@kevjr.6743]

I haven't understood much in my Biology class this week but I must say this is the quickest 14 min. of my life because I understood everything! I guess time flies when your actually learning.

[@xidaliaa]

Omg you explained this 10x better than my professor and my book combined!!!! Thanks so much!

[@sciencepost]

Thanks for the kind words! Best wishes in learning, tune in whenever you need assistance.

[@konulalizada5902]

Thank you, thank you thank you. Omg lessons I need all are explained clearly on your channel. You are explaining better than university lecturers!

[@gisellcordova9319]

You have just helped me pass chemistry. Thank you this makes so much sense now. You have no idea how bad i am at chemistry. This video literally brought me life . Thank you

[@sciencepost]

+Gisell Cordova So stoked to hear this!

[@monifahaynes8715]

this is a excellent..it actually helped me cuz i have an exam tmrw and i understand everything better than how my teacher taught me...thnx. :)

[@bogueji1]

Just freaking brilliant, my proffesor made it so hard for us to understand. Thanks man.

[@imberrysandy]

11 years later.... This video helps me the most. I was crying last night because the videos I watched did not answer my question: how to find electrons and use a different example that does not focus only on Hydrogens shell. Thank you for your excellent teaching skills!

[@alexcrone3843]

im in army lab tech school basically re learning chemistry in two days this video helped my confusion way better than my instructors...awesome vid thanks!!!

[@sciencepost]

Alex Crone Awesome bro. Best wishes in the service!

[@t.little7757]

Thank you so much. This is so clear and concise! My professor (smart guy) nerded out and launched into the physics behind electromagnetism force and how that relates to electron configuration. It was too much, too fast, and just scary. This is perfect, and simple, and clear. Thank you!!!!

[@abenson369]

So thankful for these videos. Learn more from these than my lectures!

[@andreaosorio529]

why cant all chemistry teachers teach like this...youve turned something so foreign to me and made it easy...THANKS!!

[@ryandocherty9717]

Got a chem test tomorrow this helped a lot

[@LiamsFlick]

I'm doing Chemistry as a summer course this year. Your videos helped me immensely! Thank you.

[@Dslater417]

So amazing how you described it so much more simply than my professor! Thank you!

[@KwayLP916]

I've been reading the book for literally 5 hours and couldn't understand, you 13min video just gave me the biggest epiphany lol test tomorrow, thanks

[@wisandjesus]

Oh wow thank you so much. With a lot of love. You should be my science teacher I spent a semester be trying to understand this but tonight I finally got it.

[@hollywatson8061]

Thank you so much for making this concept wonderfully simple and easy to understand!! :)

[@bullseyekiller8909]

Thanks! I was looking for this kind of video all over KZbin and finally found it :)

[@3hunnax13]

thankss your the only video tht explained it clearly

[@sciencepost]

salo dem Hey Salo, that was truly nice to hear. It's one of my early vids, but still does a good job. I'm stoked that you benefited from it. Keep up the good work and check out my other vids.

[@gibcote]

so simply and beautifully explained, you're talented! good job! :)

[@sciencepost]

Neely Marichike Thanks for the nice words of encouragement. I hope this helps you learn a difficult subject.

[@AMadScientist]

LOL...I am helping my 8th grader study for an upcoming test and realized that this will actually help me with my Science Praxis II test coming up in April.

[@carolnavarro2475]

this video was extremely helpful. I feel more comfortable explaining it to my class using this info. Thanks

[@amerfuad]

thanks a lot ive follow all of ur lecture,ur explaination is just awesome..

[@wadefan2]

You're such a great teacher! This has helped immensely!

[@anabelvelasquez51]

Thank you now I’m ready for my test tomorrow !!

[@qkey3389]

Excellent! Just lifted a 300 pound weight off my shoulder! Gracias!

[@AmiraAhmed-gb8sh]

Very informative; I am watching it after ten years since the video was uploaded and still considered one of the top videos on KZbin for chemistry! I just want to thank you so much for uploading this video💖

[@mrsmonie2579]

Explained Perfectly!

[@sciencepost]

mrsmonie2579 So cool to hear. Check out my other vids if you need help!

[@odoardomerida983]

Very good explanation!!! Thanks for your time to teach

[@medzajaffaryev7303]

Hi! Thank you very much, you are indeed a very good teacher, know what? You made me a good teacher too. Have a great day.

[@sciencepost]

That is so cool! Keep up the good work on your end Medza! Love it!

[@Ebby89ily]

OMG thank you for this review! I was so lost until now, thanks so much!!!

[@laurahjortshoj-haller2218]

Thank you so much!! This explains everything really well. I will pass this exam!!!

[@queenngenge]

very clear explanation and very easy to learn.

[@FSAYED04]

This video was awesome! very simple to understand :) thank you for sharing this video.

[@sciencepost]

Awesome! I'm sooooo excited that you learned it! Now, explain it to your teacher or a friend. That's when you really can claim you know it. Do it up!

[@TrucNguyen-wi5mt]

Thank you so much! 1am and studying for Chem test tomorrow! Feel a lot better

[@sciencepost]

That is so awesome to hear! I hope you do awesome! Give it your all.

[@juanisbossHD]

Better than my chemistry teacher thanks to all teachers or professors Luke you on youtube :P

[@badplayer1845]

omg best clear explanation, I get it perfectly now thanks!

[@spidey2099100]

Thank you so much. i have been having trouble in chemistry but this helped me

[@antoninomineo8644]

Absolutely a great video.!!

[@sciencepost]

Hey dude, you are correct, it does have 10 electrons, but the type of element is based on the number of protons, not electrons. Since it still has 12 protons, it's still magnesium. In order to be neon, it can only have 10 protons. Not a bad question at all bro. Keep up the studies and you be getting this in no time. Best wishes in your studies. Peace.

[@sciencepost]

Thanks. I think you hit it. I teach, at college they often lecture. There is a big difference.

[@shahnawazkhan4597]

I would recommend this to someone who wants to know about the octet rule

[@jp4623]

thank you so so so much can't express my gratitude here :) totally understand now thank you so much!

[@leticialucinda]

THANKS A LOT ! it was really helpfull! better than my teacher

[@JonathanTorres-we3ec]

thank you for making this video you simplified this concept for me

[@sciencepost]

Sweet Question JoAnna. This is happening as you suggested, because the elements are bonding. Some will lose electrons, and those electrons go to the ones that gain electrons. Nice job! I see you're a muscian. I plan to check out some of your music :)

[@sciencepost]

That's pretty legit. You are welcome! Best wishes learning.

[@adamadar66]

My Bio final is tomorrow. You just saved me.

[@lovejohnson3123]

Omg! This is amazing. Thank you so much for this video. You safe my chemistry class.

[@giselleflores8640]

This video was VERY helpful Thank you.

[@beastbross]

wow so clear! thanks for the great examples!!

[@Kat-l3x]

THANKKKK YYYOUUUUU SO MUCH. THIS REALLY HELPED. YOU SHOULD SO SOME MORE!!!

[@gambart2002]

Awesome explanation thanks for the video

[@etalemsalvatory9668]

This video is very helpful. Thanks

[@fersmaidana]

You just made everything so much easier!!! 😭❤❤❤

[@sciencepost]

So glad to hear! Keep up the effort!

[@connorboyd5448]

It's quite helpful. Thank you so much!

[@HillzAngel]

i am getting A's in my chemistry :) thank you !!

[@t2ybc511]

Good video absolutely 100% helpful

[@moomoowong]

thank you so much!!! is really helpful!!!!

[@sciencepost]

You are very welcome reenreen15. Keep tuning in whenever you need some help.

[@shawandaw37]

Love love love this explanation ....

[@sciencepost]

Awesomeness! Best wishes on your final.

[@baymagicshine1207]

i cannot blame my college instructor as I am in fast track upgrading therefore it's hard to understand too many things in a short period for 4 months. Thank you so much for helpful video and your effort. All the best.

[@sciencepost]

Thanks for the feedback and best wishes in college.

[@brianbdw11]

thank you! thank you so so much! you have helped me understand this process through this video. Textbook didn't even help.

[@eitanpalaria5034]

what does the " S" and "p" stand for when you are saying s1 and s2 and p1 and p2??

[@cuuhristineex3]

Here's my input... I think this video was extremely helpful and concise (coming from someone who dislikes chemistry since forever). You've explained with details on how elements behave in relation to the electrons and periodic table... etc. Keep it up. *subscribes* :)

[@sciencepost]

So cool to hear that this made sense to you. Chem isn't so bad. Maybe you just never had the right teacher. There are plenty of good teachers here to help you. Best wishes in your learning! And.....always be Awesome!

[@sciencepost]

The non metals in group 4/14 undergo covalent bonding where the form covalent bonds to get their 8 electrons. The metals below the staircase are variable charged cations that will form ionic bonds.

[@hindiyoutubelearning4737]

superb video. Thank you sir

[@avrilparry3234]

Thanks for your help? I am new to biochemistry. How do I look at more of your clips on basic chemistry

[@sciencepost]

Thanks. Keep on learning.

[@sciencepost]

Great to hear! Keep up the good work.

[@erenjaeger9571]

How can you tell whether an element wants to gain or lose electrons???

[@aminaabdelkadri538]

wow thanks so much I think you just saved my grade!

[@sciencepost]

Amina Abdelkadri LOL. I may have explained it, but you're the one who is going to save your grade. Best wishes in doing awesome.

[@minertia8370]

Just a question . It's logical to say that Group 8 elements are unreactive because they have a full shell/octet . but that given , why are some ions reactive even if they formed an octet ? ( let's say Na+ )

[@Elizren]

How do you go about getting the electron configuration?

[@Adybby10]

why was it so easy for me to understand it when you explained it and so difficult to understand my professor lol.

[@user-zy8vk2ip8o]

Nice! Thanks, good job! Useful even for 7th Class!

[@sciencepost]

Thanks for the sweet feedback. Best wishes in learning.

[@wisandjesus]

Very Well organized.

[@leimaryvalverde8625]

Very easy to understand! Thanks.

[@sciencepost]

# Awesome

[@sciencepost]

Hey Jay, thanks for the feedback. I'm trying to keep it clear and simple, and it sounds like it's working. Kudos to you for tuning in with a desire to learn. Tune in again if you need help. Peace bro.

[@sciencepost]

It will form covalent bonds then, no charge, but you'll need to check for polarity.

[@KellyinKansasCity]

This helped a lot. Thanks!

[@filipdinevmusic]

What about silicon, with 4 valence electrons? It will probably gain 4 electrons, right? I'm a bit confused about the lattice of silicon atoms. Are the atoms connected with single or with double bonds? Please help. Thanks.

[@hmshockman1]

How would you make a compound such as NO3- follow the octet rule?

[@JulioSanchez-zr3xy]

Thank you man, It helped me a lot...

[@sciencepost]

Julio Sanchez Stoked you got it!

[@sciencepost]

Great! Keep up the summer studies and you'll do awesome.

[@birgitflori586]

Very well explained, thank you. What happens to atoms in the 4th group, how does the principle of gain or lose apply?

[@frankiedavis8305]

This is my teacher !
