I've spent literally HOURS trying to understand this and my university lecturer couldn't even make me understand it, but in 8 minutes and 2 seconds I've just understood, thank you!!!
I know that this is 3 weeks late, but I just found the video studying for my chemistry exam, and decided to answer. We can determine the hybridization state by the steric number, which can be found by adding together the # of sigma bonds and the # of lone pairs. If the steric number is 4, then the hybridization state is sp3. If the steric number is 3, then the hybridization state is sp2. Lastly, if the steric number is 2, then the hybridization state is sp. For example, a carbon with four single-bonds will be sp3 because steric # is 4 + 0 = 4 A carbon with two single bonds and a double bond will be sp2 because steric # is 3 + 0 = 3 Another example is when an element has three bonds and a single lone pair of electrons. sp3 because 3+1= 4 I hope that this explanation helps clear things up a bit.
+Minka Kelly Teachers and textbooks weren't built to teach you a concept in 8 minutes. I love this UA-camr because he simplifies things when I need to cram, but it took me about 3 hours of class time and another hour outside of class to learn about hybridization in detail. And don't hate on teachers. They go through years of work just to be a teacher, and some of them actually WANT to be good teachers. Give them feedback and help them be better!
+rickybobbychuva Oh man...if only my AP Chem teacher was responsive to feedback. Every time we tell her she needs to explain something in more detail, she just says, "You need to know it for the test." Grrr....
Don MMA Yikes, I've been there bruh. Some teachers really care, but there are some teachers that make me wonder why they became teachers in the first place. xP
This video was made 8 years ago and it is STILL helping people understand! I spent hours trying to understand what you were able to explain in 8 minutes. Great video! Truly grateful. Thank you!
If only profs made it this straightforward, rather than try and guide first-year students into the very heart of the theory itself, they might do better. Thanks for simplifying it Nate.
+YesNoMaybeSometimes Maybe if people payed attention to the teacher and can learn the small details this guy left out. Professors teach you everything. It just shows how stupid someone is if they have to have it simplified to a 3rd grade level.
omg really?? I didn't knew that.. and I even thought his hand movements were annoying since I couldn't concentrate..but the explaination was good.thank you😊
THANK YOU I've been watching videos on hybridization for an hour and none of them were making sense! You are the only one who explained it in a way I could understand!
Why not they just add those two sentences : "Sigma bonds are the FIRST bonds to be made between two atoms. They are made from hybridized orbitals. Pi bonds are the SECOND and THIRD bonds to be made. They are made from leftover "p" orbitals." in text book.
because its oversimplization of the concept... if u dont understand the basis of why is it .... once u get to hardcore stuff this trick will fall apart and the actuall understand will come to rescue
That was probably the best, simplified and precise explanation I could ever have on all the sigma and pi bond stuff. I finally got it now.Thank you SO MUCH. You knew how to explain it clean and clear!
+GoogOOL MaNgooli Dude I got one who can't even speak the language (portugal here), all he does is point, say something you struggle to understand a letter, and say "ok?" and moves on. This really helps a lot, hopefully I pass the exam and escape from his grasp.
I have searched and searched for people anywhere and everywhere on the internet to explain this stuff and no one has come close to doing it as well as you. You explain it so energetically and in an easy to learn manner!!!
Your explanation is really detailed. Somehow my school lecturer does not seem to explain in such a way, expecting everyone is smart enough to understand through only a brief explanation. I understand alot more by going through your video. Thank you, please keep making more chemistry videos!
Honestly thank you. Textbooks and lectures are useless. I took 10 secs of your video to make me understand. Our educational system needs more people like you. well done
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have chemistry test tomorrow and my sir hasn't made me understand a thing about hybridisation! Thank you very very much! Helped me alot.
thank you so much for this video i learned more in 5 minutes watching this video then the hour i spent rereading and trying to understand my text! your a true lifesaver
Chemistnate is not only funny but also super helpful. He is truly a miracle to my chem grade and his hilariousness makes me keep watching without getting bored.
Legend at work! Won't be able to answer those complex high-school questions without the help of this. Teachers told me about the sigma and pi bonds, what hybridization is and all but they never told me a simple fucking thing which is - how they ACTUALLY KNOW carbon hybridizes in different compounds the way it does. Thanks! :)
Finally got this. Took a few hours and watching and reading over and over through many different material, but this is the video that finally got me to understand. Thank you.
My professor was so excited over these bonds, and it makes total sense in his head, but I had him explain it 2x and still was like whaaa? I screamed OH!!! THANK YOU NATE!! I have a feeling you are going to get me through orgo this semester.
Every UA-cam video out there sucked. They couldn't make me understand no matter how they explained it. But this video is great. This video is super-clear, the clearest of all videos. Out of five videos I have watched, I still had no hope in understanding hybrid orbitals until I have watched this one. Thanks chemistNATE!
why cant professors be this clear when you pay them to learn this stuff, I've literally been lost on sigma/ pi bonds for the past 3 weeks and this 8 minute video removed all the ambiguity i was facing.
7 years later and high school Ap chem teachers aren’t explaining this any easier. Thanks for the lesson man, it helped me far more than the teachers lecture!
This video is so helpful. I found it when I was first learning chemistry my sophomore year in high school. Now I'm a sophomore in college studying chemical engineering and anytime we talk about bonds in my classes I rewatch this video for review
I spent hours searching for a video to explain what this main explained in the first 4 minutes..... I cannot thank whoever made this video enough!!!! Honors Gen Chem 1 test Monday and i neeed to do well >.
i have been staring at my book for 2-3 days and procrastinating every time i see the phrase sigma or pi bonds. thanks to you i realize that this is quite an easy concept to learn. hopefully you have a video out explaining molecular orbital theory since that's the next beast i intend on slaying.
Dude I took chem I and II a year apart from each other at one university then took organic chem I at a different university a year later and ALL of their ways of describing were different. I was so lost during organic and my mind couldn't fully grasp the term sp3 because no one had fully explained it to me and my education in chemistry was spread out over so much time that I forgot a lot of things. So the moment you drew out the electron configuration to explain sp3 I literally wanted to slap myself because of how SIMPLE it is. I can't believe I didn't piece it together sooner, thank you for the help
You know what 😭😭 I have spent 8 videos and 2 tutorials just to understand this chapter but I can't give up. You are my heroess😭😭 I really can understand all this chapter through your videos 😭😭😭 I'm not lying this is true I have spent 8 videos but still can't understand, but you make my day.TQQQ SO MUCHH
For two weeks in class I couldn't understand this ,but in 8 minutes and 2 seconds finally got it ..this was helpful unlike those useless textbooks and lectures
Lecturing is totally different from tutoring. Lecturing introduces new concepts. Tutoring is helping with processing information. For most people, receiving new concepts is more difficult than processing old information. That is why the first day on campus is stressful. It is not because people at universities are bad at giving directions, it is because students are having a new experience. The same goes with lecturing and tutoring.
Im from brazil, i was having problems to find good explanations about that in my language and you did a great job. Thank you very much, you got a new subscriber.
I've spent literally HOURS trying to understand this and my university lecturer couldn't even make me understand it, but in 8 minutes and 2 seconds I've just understood, thank you!!!
rerally ...only from ur comment ...i think to watch ...dekhten h kitna sahi h madam

Can u explain why is it sp3 or sp2...i know its a sigma bond but ??

THANK YOU I've been watching videos on hybridization for an hour and none of them were making sense! You are the only one who explained it in a way I could understand!
Haha yes, out of all videos, it was this video that made me understand!
Dude... if we had more teachers like this we would be done with classes much sooner. You explained it so good. Thank You
Countless videos, lectures, and google searches and your is the only video that helped.
hand movemnet killed me haha
rip
hahaha same cant focus on the video due to continous laughing xD
Its that chemistry jutsu
Lmao
superpe

He said that, first bond is always sigma at 0:19

Bless you, seriously. I had no earthly clue what pi or sigma bonds were and my university lecture was doing nothing to help me. I owe you my life.
This helped me so much, thank you. It's crazy how sometimes a simple definition in the beginning helps make everything so much more clear.
Nobody never can explained s and pi bonds so crystal clear and easy way! Thank you very much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have chemistry test tomorrow and my sir hasn't made me understand a thing about hybridisation! Thank you very very much! Helped me alot.
Five years later and I'm in the exact same situation as you. How are you doing now? How was uni life?
Man… this guy just explained what I tried to learn in 2 years in 8 minutes….thank you sir!
very clear! it took you 30 seconds to explain something that took my professor 1 hour to explain. LOL.
thank you!
thank you so much for this video i learned more in 5 minutes watching this video then the hour i spent rereading and trying to understand my text! your a true lifesaver
Wow, this video made the hybridization concept make so much more sense! Using multiple videos really helps with chemistry. Thanks for making this!
The top comments are from like 6 years ago. I'm here in 2021 and you still make more sense then my university lecturers. Thank you!
What university?
Sigma and Pi bonding theory has been the same for years, so ...
After so many years of chemistry classes, I have finally found what I want. You are awesome, Nate !!!
U must watch KGF2 movie
the ONLY video on youtube that explains hybridization so effortlessly!! thank you so much!!!
thanks, you just helped out a dazed and confused 1st year college kid

how r u doing now sleeping wind spirit
easiest and most straight to the point explanation i have ever seen or heard. thank u
stop reading comments. listen to the video

Hahahaha
bruh, you can literally use that comment on gaming vids and all, but im pretty sure everyone here came to learn so i dont think it really works
