[@maskedmarvyl4774]

This is the first time I've seen a video that actually explains shells, subshells and orbitals in a way that I can understand. Before it was just a confusing mishmash that seemed completely arbitrary, in the way it was taught. It all has to do with the amount of energy imparted to the electrons within each shell, then within each subshell, and then with each type of orbital that lies within each subshell, that is shaped by the amount of energy it has. I think what would help the viewer is explaining how external energy sources (light, heat, etc) that strike the atom can cause a change in the energy of each electron, and how that could then cause it to jump to a new shell, subshell, or change the type of orbit it has as the energy level increases. That would clarify to the viewer exactly what is happening.

[@chip_or_fries9597]

I’m still so confused I hate chemistry with a passion 😍😍

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

I feel the same way about the orbitals, shells and subshells; especially the fact that as you "fill" the shells, sometimes you have to arbitrarily jump Down an energy level, before you go back up again. One teacher told us that you really have to understand quantum mechanics to understand the explanation as to why. I don't intend to learn quantum mechanics just to understand the logic of the order of how electron shells are filled, which means it's back to learning by rote; which is how they taught chemistry in high school: "just memorize it for the test". They literally told us that. Brilliant, teacher. That told me they didn't understand the physics behind it any more than I did...... However, don't lose heart. One day you'll find a teacher who can actually explain it so you understand it. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

You cleared my all concepts about atom thank you sir

[@blinkypie223]

PLEASE CLEAR MY DOUBT... a. Just as you told , it's just the approximation or probability of an electron to be found , so can the electrons revolve in BETWEEN the sub shells too.. like in between 2s and 2p or 2p and 2d ???... b. if we pump more energy to the electron , u told it can shift its orbit , then will not the electronic configuration get distrupted?

[@RainnLiu-bn7tu]

sorry if it's late. There is some overlap between these orbitals. This means that an electron can be found in regions that are influenced by both the 2s and 2p orbitals. While there is some overlap between 2s and 2p orbitals, this does not change the total electron capacity of the subshells

[@wesbaumguardner8829]

Can someone explain to me the mechanism that causes two similarly charged particles to repel and two particles with different charges to attract? What is going on between the two particles?

[@Ethan-Schmidt]

when there is a lone pair ( a pair that doesn’t have a bond with a new element) they are content and not looking for any new electrons from a new element, as they’re already paired with one another. so H2O, for example oxygen has 6 electrons in its second shell which means its looking for 2 new electrons (by which the hydrogens will give one electron each to oxygen) this means there are two pairs of oxygen which repel the other electrons away because they arnt looking for electrons. This is actually why water forms a “bent” shape, because the hydrogen is closer, and has a stronger attraction to oxygen, while the two lone pairs at the back have a weaker - causing it to have that polarity effect. A video on a rundown of the lewis dot structure may help. Hope this helped.

[@wesbaumguardner8829]

@@Ethan-Schmidt I understand their description of what occurs. It explains nothing about what is occurring. It also implies sentience/consciousness of the particles, which is ridiculous. These particles do not think. There must be some mechanism that causes them to attract and repel, yet none has ever been provided. We are just supposed to take the description as truth on faith and think no further on the matter.

@@Ethan-Schmidt It is all good. They do not even have an explanation for it. I have had college chemistry and they could never answer that question. It was just "this is what happens" or "we will leave that for a higher level class" now off to the next topic. Perhaps you might ask your teacher/professor about the mechanism that occurs between two charged particles to cause them to attract or repel and see if you can get a different result.

[@tonyanderson5123]

Question: As you add energy, orbital zone or distance of the electron from the proton increases, rendering the strong nuclear force flux weaker on the electrons? Which explain why for some reactions to take place quicker, you heat them up. By the same token, if you chill the atoms/molecules, the proton-electron distance decreases(nuclear force flux is stronger); therefore, the reaction is harder to take place. Am I on the right track?

What I don’t understand is the overlapping, like so all the electrons in the 2p are always in the sphere of 2s, so like how does that work And like so is 2s the whole sphere or is it a large sphere with a small sphere cut out of inside it, like will electrons in the 2s enter the space of 1s? Like do I imagine a small tennis ball inside a basketball, and so will electrons in the 2s ever enter the tennis ball or are they gonna be just inside the volume of basketball but minus the small tennis ball inside??

Thank you for the video. I see many many videos on these topics, but the question persist : why electron do not end on proton ?

[@kibriabd]

Electrons actually stay in orbital, not in orbit. Orbit is a rough idea. According to Quantum Model electrons stay in orbital. So how they rotate in orbital and the shape of orbital is one of the most critical thing to say. In most cases when we talk about orbit or orbital we simply draw some circle to describe the path of electrons, this is somehow a great wrong. If you take 110 electrons you see only 10 electrons rotate in circular orbital and 100 of them rotate in complex shaped orbitals like dumble shaped or double dumble shaped or more complex shaped. So you need a clear idea about orbital if you actually want to know and do something in chemistry.
