Honestly, you don't see enough chemistry videos with good animation. This whole channel is extremely well done and I am so appreciative of the effort that goes into making these kinds of videos. Things like this clear the fog for so many students. Top tier work
Thanks for the kind words Cassie. Since my whole operation is just one humble professor at his kitchen table on the weekends, these animations do take quite a bit of time to design and especially to create. It's always nice to here people offering their support for the channel. If quality chemistry animations are interesting to you, you may also want to check out my courses on www.thegreatcourses.com and www.wondrium.com (search Professor Davis or Chemistry) That will show you what can really be accomplished when you have a team of professionals bringing your animations to life!
Learning with ADHD means I have to learn in visual ways -- I wish all of organic chemistry could be taught with 3D models like this! Also this is super cool to imagine going on all the time in solutions! Thank you !
thank you so much! My organic chem professor really emphasizes MO theory, and it's so difficult for me to visualize what's actually happening in my head. I've had so much trouble understanding this concept for this entire semester. Thank you!
It is for the same reason that opposite charges attract. It is one of the simplest empirical laws of nature that charge will always try to minimize itself. A particle physicist might have a more detailed answer for you, but as chemists we usually treat this tendency as an empirical fact. Anything that a species CAN do to minimize or distribute charge, it WILL do! Great question!
thank you i have learned this in 11th but i am not clear about concept.but now its crystal clear and also never forget.your explanation made it too easy for me.thanks for you.now i can go for exam.thanks a lot.
Teaching is exploited here. Yk education isn't a moral skill here. But more of a business. And also he'd be damn overworked on low wage with super low respect as in employee. Telling all this from experience. (Unless he actually tries to be like Elon Musk and scams the education institution and takes over it and tags himself as the founder of it)
It's so cool to see people still benefiting from this short video from almost 10 years ago.Thanks for watching and checking out the rest of my channel, too!
Was just watching one of your lectures on the great courses and needed to clarify something and it turned out to be your video! Thanks for both the resources!
+Karthik Sekaran I am so glad that my work in some small way has helped you to make it through Organic Chemistry (That is no small feat, you should be proud of yourself!).
If you are looking for a more rigorous text than McMurry, you might try the Wade text from Prentice Hall. This is the text that we use at Georgetown. If you are looking instead for a more practical 'how to pass orgo' text, I suggest one of David Klein's books like 'Organic Chemistry as a Second Language'.
Great one !! , Just a small doubt, u said alkyl groups are weak electron donors but aren't they supposed to be the strongest electron donating groups after 0-
thank you for this video , it helped me understand better, but how do you explain that budatiene becomes thermodynamically more stable than isolated alkenes (thanks to conjugation and mesomery) but becomes more reactive towards nucleophiles and electrophiles?
wow this helped me a lot! I have an exam 2 days later and this topic was really bugging me..! thumbs up! to you video.. could have explained it better! :)
THANKYOU FOR THE ANIMATION!!! 😭😭😭😭 I had absolutely no idea what was happening in the chemistry. You just cleared up a huge tangled mess in my brain. 🤌🏼🤌🏼
you should have also explained about other p orbitals (px and py), you only explained about pz. in case of py it wont lie parallel to the alpha sigma bond of adjacent carbon so how would it form a pie bond. and in case its a px it would be perpendicular. of course any one of them would have been used in sp2 hybridization. so does it applies to only pz orbital? A 3D VISUALIZATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.
is this the same thing as the inductive effect? bc my professor made it seem like inductive effect and hyperconjugation are 2 different reasons for why the more there are alkyl groups attached, the more stable. Thank you!
Inductive effects are caused by the presence of more or less electronegative substituents essentially "pulling" or "pushing" electrons through networks of sigma bonds (like current moving through a wire). This effect changes the electron shielding at the nucleus of interest (as does hyperconjugation). Hyperconjugation is a bit different, though, because the orbital network involves "sigma-star" (i.e. antibonding) orbitals and p orbitals. So hyperconjugation cannot occur when a group is attached to an sp3 carbon, but inductive effects can (and very often do).
So to sum it all up Hyperconjugation is a phenomenon in which the non bonding electrons from adjacent carbon hydrogen sigma bond are delocalized into the entire molecule hance making it more stable.
Huh. Interesting. This stuff is complicate enough in my native language, but i think i understood. I know understand one step further. Before this video i knew "Hyperconjugation stabilizes a Carbokation". Now i know "Hyperconjugation stabilizes it because we have more bonding electrons moving around and that stabilizes it." I still dont know why the fact that those electrons move to the positive charge stabilize it, but i guess this is enough for now.

i dont quite get what other teachers have explained but a 10 year old video does the job wonderfully
Frr
Humble thanks, my friend. I'm just a guy who loves to teach Chemistry!
😁 HII 😎😁😂
Many many thanks to you and specially to whoever did those animations- they made everything soo much better!
Thnx sir
Keep it up
This just made my concept of Hyperconjugation crystal clear. I was always perplexed why the H+ doesn't run away; know I know why. Thank you so much!
Hearing this in lecture made about 20% sense. Your vid makes it about 100% :) Thank you!
:D
Learning with ADHD means I have to learn in visual ways -- I wish all of organic chemistry could be taught with 3D models like this! Also this is super cool to imagine going on all the time in solutions! Thank you !
Awesome vid Ron. I was mind blown watching it! Loved the bouncy electrons haha, best hyperconjugation lesson I've seen so far!
Frank Wong lol nerd
@@MrFamousperson101 What's your damn problem?
Still helping students worldwide nearly a decade later. Wishing you peace and blessings.
And you as well, my friend. Thanks for watching 😀
This is concisely explained (The diagrams were awesome!) and I finally get the concept of hyperconjugation. Thank you!
I have only seen this video, and before it ended I simply subscribed! This helped me solve biggest doubt of the years :) Thank you sir!

wow very rarely do I get a chemistry video that makes so much sense. Your a life saver
These amazing visuals make it really easy to understand what's happening. Thank you so much!!
Jee aspirants are flooding this video
this video is so nice because even i don't understand very well English I can understand by watching!
thank you i have learned this in 11th but i am not clear about concept.but now its crystal clear and also never forget.your explanation made it too easy for me.thanks for you.now i can go for exam.thanks a lot.
Awesome video, the visuals made it super easy to understand
this is a great video. i seriously appreciate it. i understand hyperconjugation now!
Thanks a lot. This is a really helpful video! You explained it very well. May the Creator bless you.
Glad to be of service. Please remember to like and subscribe to help keep the channel going!
Better explanation than my teacher.! Thank you
This 3-D view is very helpful for understanding properly the concept of hyperconjugation
great explanation! the electron movement between orbitals really helped crystallize the topic. thank you!!
Wow.. your video helped me more than my lectures and textbook did...thanks so much!!
you would be richer than elon musk if u teach here in india
I hope people don't take this literally 😂
But true, he would surely be rich😅

This channel is so underrated
It was a great video sir. It cleared all my doubts .Thank you
It's so cool to see people still benefiting from this short video from almost 10 years ago.Thanks for watching and checking out the rest of my channel, too!
Thank you so much, for some reason I couldn't understand this concept for the life of me in textbook terms
you are the best! I couldn't understand it and with you it took me only 3 minutes!😍
Was just watching one of your lectures on the great courses and needed to clarify something and it turned out to be your video! Thanks for both the resources!
Thank you for such wonderful explanation sir. Couldn't have gotten through the subject without you help professor Davis.
+Karthik Sekaran I am so glad that my work in some small way has helped you to make it through Organic Chemistry (That is no small feat, you should be proud of yourself!).
Very well demonstrated explanation. Thank you for sharing..
Thank you so much for this! :) Been looking for and explanation this good and clear, also your visual examples helped me a lot!
3-D visualizations help a lot! Thanks for the great explanation
Thanks! I appreciate you passing the channel on :-)
Amazing video! Thanks Prof.Davies.

helpful still in 2022❤️
Awesome video, great work man
Beautifully explained. I'll be sure to share this.
This is such a good visual example, thank you so much
video vry helpful, especially the visualization of structures
Man you're such a good teacher
Please make one on hyperconjugation in alkenes as well.
Thanks for the comment, LJ. Don't forget to subscirbe and tell your classmates about the channel!
Clear and concise speaking. Thank you
Alan S road
You saved me.
I survived
You are awesome!!! I wish I could like this video infinity times and I subscribed you.
Perfectly explained. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much..great explanation👍🏻
Great video!!! Helped a bunch!!
Great video! Now I understand 😀
Thank so much. By any chance do you have that video explaining how hyperconjugation is related to hydride shifts?
thank you so much for simplifying this
Great one !! , Just a small doubt, u said alkyl groups are weak electron donors but aren't they supposed to be the strongest electron donating groups after 0-
thank you for this video , it helped me understand better, but how do you explain that budatiene becomes thermodynamically more stable than isolated alkenes (thanks to conjugation and mesomery) but becomes more reactive towards nucleophiles and electrophiles?
Amazingly well explained! Thank you so much! :)
Glad you found it helpful!
Great video....cleared my concept....thnx for help.........
wow this helped me a lot! I have an exam 2 days later and this topic was really bugging me..! thumbs up! to you video.. could have explained it better! :)
+Abhishek Tomar Thanks, Abhishek. Glad you found it useful!
This was really informative ;)
Thank you so much!
Awesome explanation
nice, thanks for saving, class teacher words and not-understandable drawings on black board made me more confused, until I saw this
Thanks for help. Find it very useful
You the surviver 💟
Thnq sir
short and well explained
that was awesome, very clear explanation.
Tysm for this explanation 😊😊
whats the difference between this and inductive effect
Thank u very much!!
My pleasure! This was a fun animation to work on. I'm so glad so many have found it useful!!!
Thank you Professor Davis!
Read something you have to learn is very different from watching it. Ty!
Sir we are taught that here hydrogen breaks its bond in hyperconjugation.....how this takes place please explain
THANKYOU FOR THE ANIMATION!!! 😭😭😭😭 I had absolutely no idea what was happening in the chemistry. You just cleared up a huge tangled mess in my brain. 🤌🏼🤌🏼
This is really, really good.
Absolutely Excellent. Keep it up!
+Juan Romero thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. I just read about this topic in my organic chemistry book and this video made it much more concise! Thanks!
Why is it more stable when the charge on a certain molecule is minimized?
Clear and to the point. Thanks!
Maza aa gaya 😁🙌
Tnx 4 this
very good explanation
Thank you so much sir.

A 3D VISUALIZATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.
How do you know that its an empty p orbital and not an sp orbital on the carbon with the positive charge?
Couldn't it be sp3 hybridized?
is this the same thing as the inductive effect? bc my professor made it seem like inductive effect and hyperconjugation are 2 different reasons for why the more there are alkyl groups attached, the more stable. Thank you!

extremely helpful video but the voice cant be heard clearly . It toke me time to understand what you were explaining .
god bless u. thank u for this content. It help me alot
how to check hyperconjugation in carbanion ??
Helped me a lot ... thanks a million
So to sum it all up
Hyperconjugation is a phenomenon in which the non bonding electrons from adjacent carbon hydrogen sigma bond are delocalized into the entire molecule hance making it more stable.
You mean bonding electrons, right? Because those are not non-bonding electrons that are delocalized.
Thank you for the explanation!
I like this video because it has no background music.
thank you so much, that was very helpful
Very helpful! Thanks so much!!
Glad it helped! Don't forget to check out my channel with nearly a hundred more videos!
Which is the next video?
Thank you so much for your help!
Great vid, thank you so much (:
Is this also how alkyl groups activate benzene? By donating some of their C-H Electrons to the ring?
Now life makes sense. Thx.
Huh. Interesting. This stuff is complicate enough in my native language, but i think i understood.
I know understand one step further. Before this video i knew "Hyperconjugation stabilizes a Carbokation".

best explaination ever
