17:01 i think you meant a pyramidal shape not tetrahedral and fluorine atoms instead of chlorine atoms...

[@nyazengeni7806]

i was to say the same thing

[@fluffymountains]

exactly

[@k1ttyg4lore97]

Phew I thought I was the only one

[@minhahossain2732]

I thought so 😂

[@sarawananselvakumar533]

I thought I am the only one

[@Maddie-zg2nt]

On Q3 would it not form a pyramidal shape, due to the fact that it is 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair?

[@mahalingamem8594]

Madison Wood-Field yeah I think it would too

[@peterdixon8321]

Agreed - trigonal pyramidal

[@anesukabaya5700]

Me too

[@lifelyrics5659]

Correct

[@ren23030]

Yes I thought so too

[@alavihossain5097]

The table and the explanation was really useful. I was really struggling in this topic but found this video really helpful.

[@vee_key]

Question 3 should be triagonal pyramidial as it has one lone pair and 3 bond pairs also is it alright to say OF6 can't form because they are both strongly electronegative?

[@therealanashassan]

This is gold

[@lynapl4ys]

cba for chem

[@ahmedgulshankhaled7471]

On question 3, Tetrahedral contains 4 bond pair yet P has 3, why isn’t it a pyramidal shape ?

[@bushranoor3669]

Well explained!

[@jalajarora2331]

16:59 shouldn't it be trigonal pyramidal due to 3 bonding pairs and 1 lone pair?

[@sashalewis3936]

Jalaj Arora what i came to the comments for! i think you ignore the lone pair when naming so that’s wrong?

[@jalajarora2331]

@@sashalewis3936 No you don't ignore the lone pair

[@ginnyponnou3688]

its just pyramidal

[@jalajarora2331]

@@ginnyponnou3688 Pyramidal and Trigonal pyramidal are the same thing

[@daidipyamane]

You messed up your answer for Q3 You wrote chlorine instead of fluorine and the shape of the molecule should be pyramidal

[@PK-wn4rf]

very useful and well-explained thank you

POV: you came here to study but ended up looking through the comments

[@mmohamedhadi]

my dad developed pancreatic cancer :(

[@arinarahman3758]

like me doing rn

[@nimoissa7750]

will we be required to show the dotted and bold wedge in exam ?

[@fatimableeqs]

yup

[@khodejabegum983]

Amazing explanation 👌👌 Thanks a lot for this💖

[@nayim4913]

MeCl 2

[@anonymoususer2746]

14:48 isnt it supposed to be a triple bond because it is nitrogen

[@redalam312]

Nitrogen forms 3 bonds maximum, so a diatomic molecule of nitrogen (N2) will have a triple bond. Since each nitrogen in the structure has already formed 2 covalent bonds with hydrogen atoms, this leaves one remaining bond which is used to bond to another nitrogen. (Each of the shared pair of electrons signifies a covalent bond) Therefore, fulfilling the role that nitrogen forms 3 covalent bonds.

[@lifelyrics5659]

Electrons cannot exist on its own in Lewis structure unless ur talking about degenerating orbitals

[@Ayaan.06]

is this year 2 content?

[@zeenatiqbal5764]

year 1

[@heeralchauhan1128]

THANK YOUUU

[@shafzkay]

at 14:09 the question is worth 2 marks and then at 14:54 the same question is worth one?????!!!?!?!? wtf

[@pigeonlove]

Jewish?

[@ibrahimumer421]

:D thanksssssss soooooo muchchhchch

[@kausturmer]

very good

12:12 copy down

[@zzey]

Safe my g

[@Floorgang_22]

Y cant oxygen expand it's octate?

[@lyricvideos166]

Oxygen has no empty orbitals, It only has orbitals up to 2p which contains 4 electrons. expanding the octet usually happens when the atoms excite their electrons; oxygen doesn't have the orbitals to do that

[@neverosman]

I’m cooked

[@anakinskywalker3777]

Very good video but fix question 3 plz

[@neldino1251]

you underestimate my power!!!

[@puravalva9157]

you missed square planar btw

[@alexneesam6691]

PF3 has 3 flourine atoms not chlorine. ha bozo

[@daidipyamane]

You messed up your answer for Q3 You wrote chlorine instead of fluorine and the shape of the molecule should be pyramidal
