    LYRICS:
    A dot isn't the best way to try to sum up how electrons come and go
    They are the states of a matter field that follows and equation that Dirac wrote
    The Schrodinger part of the whole equation will just lead
    In sub-c when it expands
    Now get that Coulomb and add it in with a proton
    And watch them start to dance
    As hydrogen it's like
    "Oh proton I feel your tug
    Central potential dip down pulling on me
    But I'm not falling in deep
    No that would break uncertainty"
    "Say oh
    Electrons move too much
    Slow down your pace and put that orbit on me
    Come on now follow my lead
    Come come on now follow my lead
    Orbitals take the shape they do
    As stable states of the quantum rules
    And when a one approaches two
    They combine and they're bonding
    Thus hydrogen as a rule
    Is found in nature as H2
    Energy configuring a molecule
    Diatomically bonding
    Low high low high low high low high
    Diatomically bonding (x3)
    Energy cofiguring a molecule
    When orbitals take the shape they do
    1/2 spin'll give a lepton a twin
    One up one down in the ground state
    With S and P in quadruple degeneracy
    The second shell can be filled up with eight
    The higher angular powers spread out like beautiful flowers
    In middle families they come into play
    Well here's a carbon with 6e
    This ain't nothing tricksy
    But we're gonna make some methane today
    With hydrogen it's like
    "Oh atoms I feel your tug
    Got my electrons bugged out pulling on me
    Come on now settle round me
    I'll hybridize to sp3"
    "Say oh
    Carbon here's touch
    Spread out 109.47 degrees
    Come on now follow our lead
    Come come on now follow our lead"
    Molecules take the shape they do
    Combining states of the quantum rules
    Like when a shell goes sp2
    For sigma pi double bonding
    And as widely as their purview
    They spread out in the molecule
    Look at benzene in a ring they hold it true
    Aromatically bonding
    Low high low high low high low high
    Aromatically bonding (x3)
    Look at benzene in a ring they hold it true
    When orbitals take the shape they do
    Come bond with me baby, come bond (x8)
    Polymers take the shape they do
    Combining base-level residues
    Like RNA's ACGU
    Look they're hydrogen bonding!
    Peptides make a chain and group
    In beta pleat sheets and corkscrews
    With these secondary links they fold and move
    They're all over your body
    Come bond with me baby, come bond (x6)
    You're a chemical machine
    It's best you knew
    That molecules take the shape of you.

      By abstract I don't mean "not graspable" - I mean abstraction in the sense that you can gloss over low-level details later on because they've already been established. In that way you can treat previous results as building blocks for the next.

  • @Atomas69
    @Atomas69 Рік тому +270

    I just wanna dip the fact that this was so mind boggling to watch. Mainly because of how in sync the music was with the theme of the lyrics. It starts simple, the basic melody while explaining equations that will take place in the atomic chemistry later on, the music building up expanding on everything that was prepared for until finally ending off with a harmonious sound that creates a feeling of an expanse space while the lyrics describe how truly massive everything is, how everything that was explained is "all over your body", which felt absolutely radical.
    It really makes you inspired to learn the bare basics of chemistry to slowly begin understand the tree that it forms above it. It's so strange to see how simple mathematical expressions work in explaining atomic interactions which in turn shows how molecules work and bond- all leading up to just a basic organelle, one of many in a cell, the smallest unit of life. Then you take a look at your body, and realize just how complex everything truly is and see how far as a civilization we have advanced.

    I heard Shape of You in the background of something randomly the other day and was trying to remember what song it was, and my brain was like "ah yes its one of the songs from that one awesome science channel, that you listened to over and over again! what were they parodying again-"
    but in all seriousness this actually really helped me visualize/understand orbitals & stuff in chem 101, albeit unintentionally. thanks a ton!
