VSEPR Theory & Molecular Shapes

[@kkucborski]

I had no idea what my professor was talking about when he was teaching this topic. You took 15 minutes to explain everything clear as day whereas he spent 3 and a half hours confusing us. Thank you!

[@wannabe771]

My professor took 2 days to lecture this topic and was unsuccessful. I have mastered this topic in 15 minutes. You sir, are amazing. Thank you.

[@sciencepost]

Gully23 Love hear when it gets over complicated. Good job learning.

[@jessicasofen8538]

THANK. YOU. I've been struggling with VSEPR theory and molecular structures all semester in Gen Chem, and something about this video finally made it all make sense. I'm so relieved. You're a life saver!

[@sousousaechao63]

you are absolutely the best teacher ever! I couldn't understand my teacher, I couldn't understand the book...so I turned to youtube and found this video and now i finally get it. thank you soo very much!

[@padmanadipalli8147]

Hi! He took 3 days......you took 15 mins.THANK YOU SO MUCH!VSPER theory has never been more clearer too me i simply cannot express my gratitude towards you.Pls keep doing what you are doing...THNK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! :) :)

[@haider1905]

Out of all VSEPR theory videos on KZbin this worked for me. You made it simple and precise. Thank you sir. God bless you for your efforts.

[@sciencepost]

Thanks!

[@kittycaat4]

You literally just saved my chemistry life thank you

[@sciencepost]

catvalencia So cool to hear! Thanks for sharing and learning!

[@nancygilmore3076]

You are an excellent teacher. I'm confident with VSEPR now! Thanks!

[@sciencepost]

Thanks for the kind words. Be awesome always!

[@kateb.4049]

Thank you soooo much for this video! I'm taking Chemistry online over the summer, and sometimes it can be really hard to understand the concepts they want me to learn. I was just about to give up on VSEPR when I found this video and I'm so relieved and happy that I finally understand it now. You're an amazing teacher- I followed everything you said with ease. Once again, thank you! :)

[@sciencepost]

Kate Bonanni Thanks for the kind words. I love VSEPR, it makes sense when you look at it this way. Best wishes in being awesome.

[@dragon888193ftw]

You're an awesome teacher. You really make me wonder why I even pay for school!

[@beec4737]

Thank you, this actually made more sense than my teacher trying to explain it. He didn't even tell us the differences of each shape he just said was check the textbook but it didn't say much except the angles and the shapes, not really describing how to tell each molecular shape apart.

[@sciencepost]

Regardless of who was right, I applaud you two for thinking about it. That is critical to learning. Keep it up. I actually love it when one of my students finds a mistake, shows they are tuned into the lessons.

[@michaelbecker2617]

this guy is the real hero of society forreal

[@sciencepost]

Great! Yep, there is no more sting left in that topic. It's not so bad. Thanks for tuning in.

[@luanaalessandra02]

THANK YOU! I barely found out we were having an exam the day before we took it and this helped SO MUCH. I knew nothing but you literally saved my life!

[@stefanvenediktov6957]

i prefer using channels like this to master the basics, rather than reading it from the textbook

[@dantheman826]

one of the best videos out there

[@chrishunt2319]

thank you very much for making this video, really made everything seem a lot simpler than I thought it was. I owe my 100% on my test tomorrow to you! ;)

[@alexidiculamathews7822]

really great sir..ive been extremely confused in the geometry of molecules wen it comes about lone pair...but now its perfectly clear...keep up the good work..god bless you

[@sophiamillet5102]

Thank you so much for the help. Before watching this I wasn't understanding predicting molecule shapes! Thx!

[@sciencepost]

Check out my other video...its better. Be amazing, study hard, practice problems and always be awesome.

[@Rakaben]

Very good video. Simple and clear,you've made it very easy to undestand and differenciate all the shapes. Thank you.

[@katehughes234]

Why does my teacher make this so confusing! Thank u so much

[@sciencepost]

Kate Hughes LOL. Chem can be confusing and a difficult class to teach. Kudos to you for seeking additional help. Even my students would use my vids to help clarify a lesson they needed a little extra help on or to review for a test. Best wishes learning and keep up the effort!

[@lixx1414]

+Kate Hughes WORD

[@stefano8880]

thank you sooooooo much. you teach better than my science teacher!

[@sciencepost]

So glad to help. Best wishes in learning.

[@Jozeboss11]

This is a great video I am using it to teach my Year 11 chemistry class....thanks very much

[@arkadeepdey98]

Thanks a lot was having too much difficulty.Your the best👍

[@LorThoron]

This video is amazing.. I have my AS Chemistry exam soon so this is so helpful haha, thanks you!

[@fabfelly6]

This is the best explanation I have gotten. I really understand it now. Thanks a bunch! :)

[@sciencepost]

You are totally welcome! Keep being Awesome!

[@sciencepost]

That is so cool to hear. Keep coming back for more!

[@laydeexyungin]

Great explanation! better than my professor way of explaining this.

[@SL-sq2vd]

This was so helpful! I finally understand! Thank-you!

[@sciencepost]

Ruta, I'm stoked it helped you learn. Peace.

[@Hell0000Kitty]

Thank you thank you soooo much Mr. Post, keep posting videos I LOVED this, explained it all in very good details. PLease don't stop posting videos...thanks again :)

[@Mippin10593]

thanks for helping me pass my chem final!!

[@sciencepost]

Glad it helped you. Keep learning!

[@lindsayfist8209]

this was so helpful! thank you for this!

[@Batman2973]

Wow - you have taken the sting out of that!! Much easier to grasp now - thanks a mil! :)

[@spicyboyzshow]

Thank you for this video! I'm completely lost in my Chemistry class, and I think now that I understand this concept, I will be able to comprehend what my teacher is talking about.

[@sciencepost]

Come as often as you have to for help. Best wishes in your learning. Continue to do your best and always be awesome!

[@DrJoySmithMaxwell]

try Tyler DeWitt's video's too & good luck! (y)

[@Aephylis]

This is going to be really helpful for exams , thank you !

[@MyChemistry3]

Putting my Chemistry Professor to shame. If only it was explained and summarized instead of telling me to "just memorize it." Nice tip with the atom counting too. It totally makes sense to me now.

[@sciencepost]

Congrats on you final! It's my pleasure to help.

[@majedalhakawati7]

Great video! 10/10 thanks for the help

[@tjd2296]

cleared this up for me very helpful. 10/10

[@kiara6626]

This video is a blessing, thanks so much!

[@danceinocean]

You're the best ever! Thank you so much for your videos

[@sciencepost]

danceinocean If you like that try this one too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ2ZdKGQetGjaq8

[@sciencepost]

Way to go Dimples! I'm stoked you got it.

[@alex1993seattle]

once again thank you dude, I can give you tons of reasons of why i said science teacher in US sucks. My professor just gave me a piece of sheet to memorize the shape of each chemical covalent bond. no explanation at all, just for the sake of memorization.

[@paulinacarranza5526]

My teacher can't teach at all and this helped a lot.

[@sciencepost]

Paulina Carranza So glad that this helped you. Keep tuning back in for more :)

[@HiKaler]

finally cleared things up. thank you so much

[@AJ-cu6il]

u the real mvp

So sweet to hear that the video worked for you. Keep up the effort in this challenging subject!

[@sciencepost]

You are welcome! Go big on the finals!

[@Wolfeywolf16]

very good video! cleared up a lot

[@suneelnadipalli2685]

Wish I found this earlier...finals day after... THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH!!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 YOU ARE MY JESUS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!KEEP POSTING ONCE AGAIN THANKS A LOT!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗☺️☺️☺️😌😌😌🤗🤗👌👌👌👌

[@aderonkeodetunde4197]

With reference to 09:50-10:00 minutes, did you mean that the trigonal planar is a flattened version of the trigonal pyramidal?

[@sciencepost]

Check out the other video I linked there too. It is actually better. Best wishes.

[@aneysbella8663]

I really understand vsepr now!! Thanks!!

[@Hanzilla22]

You are a blessing. Thank you so much!

[@illjayy]

you teach better than my chem teacher jeez.

[@xinthong2255]

thank you so much for this video. you made it so clear , you're such a nice teacher. double thumbs up for you !

[@sciencepost]

Thanks Xin for tuning in and leaving some feedback. I'm glad the video worked for you. Keep up the hard work, it's the secret to awesomeness!

[@thewarrior5743]

It was extremely helpful. Thanks sciencepost.

[@sciencepost]

The Warrior Nice, so glad it helped. Keep reviewing it to make sure it sinks in.

[@sciencepost]

Awesomeness! That is great news. Please let me know how you do. Go big!

[@rutaweres1744]

thanks its very clear and straight to the point

[@angeludom2958]

Amazing video so easy to understand

[@vjm3]

Thank you for this. Here let me test myself: CH2F2 Carbon is the central atom surrounded by two Hydrogens, and two F. There are no unpaired electrons for the center atom, and there are 5 total atoms. This makes the Electron Geometry = Tetrahedral Since there are no unpaired electrons for the center atom, there is no bent shape. So the answer for Molecular Geometry = Tetrahedral as well, since there is no bent, and 5 atoms. I'll google it to verify. Thank you.

[@delete376]

More specifically, in a triagonal planer structure, all of the electron pairs have to be bonded around the central element? The second example you gave had two unbonded pairs around the Oxygen.

[@verocoutada5945]

Thanks! Very helpful.

[@sciencepost]

Awesomeness! Please let me know how you do.

[@saimairfan5760]

Excellent explanation

[@sciencepost]

Hey Chris, I'd be so stoked to know that you dominated, and that this vid played a part. Please let me know how you did. Peace Bro.

[@linatyra4421]

this was extremely helpful, thanks a bunch :)

[@sciencepost]

So glad to help!

[@luzmanrique127]

OMG!! so helpful!! I finally understood it! THANKS!

[@sciencepost]

Thanks for sharing this. It is so cool to hear. Please pass it on. Best wishes learning!

[@sciencepost]

Thanks! Check out my other vids!

[@SKSeternity]

omg thank you so much I was finding chemistry hopeless but this video gave me hope lol

[@SKSeternity]

when I got all of them right at the end of the video, I literally jumped with joy :0

[@Jnorrisclay]

at 9:40, you said that the flattened version of trigonal pyramidal was trigonal pyramidal, was that a mistake?

[@sciencepost]

You are welcome!

[@TheNadalrox]

You said trigonal pyramidal twice at 9:39 , but great job on your vids :)

[@sciencepost]

Thx for the kind words.

[@dimples804]

think i understand it better now! thanx!!

[@onglijing8370]

Can you go thru trigonal bi pyramidal and octahedral ? thankyou :-) i did not attend the lesson but you made it so easy to understand ^_^

[@victoreaton6585]

Thank you , crystal clear!

[@andresrebata1958]

I know this relates to heat capacity somehow, as in how many degrees of freedom, can you explain that please?? Something about 3/2 R times something. Thanks a lot

[@sciencepost]

You are welcome amigo!

[@sciencepost]

So glad it helped!

[@mandiiER]

You were so very helpful.

[@sciencepost]

Thx. Check out the other linked video!

[@rylanm92]

Man, you are AWESOME!

[@debendragurung3033]

9:19, looks exactly like the robot from big hero 6...... cheers

[@LuminaryOFTP]

GREAT! Very helpful and understandable. Keep posting :)

[@jadoalfridy2328]

thank you Mr

[@anandsalonia7218]

[@shawandaw37]

These videos are the best thks

[@thellamasquads]

this was very helpufl thank you, keep up the good work plus i subscribed

[@celestialskies4706]

you just saved me from a heart attack thank you!

[@laynesimon578]

You're so incredibly awesome. THANK YOU!!!

[@babamohamed7851]

if electrons repel each other , how we can explain the bonds ? is it right that electrons make a bond in molécules or orbitals ? I'm confused ! it's complicated

[@siarenxendalia5431]

Nice video!!!

[@ThinkOutside07]

8:29 O has elektronegativity 3,5 en H has elektronegativity of 2,2. Oxygen pulls shared elektrons to itself,that is the mean reason of the shape of H2O.

[@lixx1414]

THANK YOU!

[@kaafa3337]

good one. thank you
