  • CHECK OUT MY NEW VIDEO - • Shapes of Covalent Mol... . Same topic, but a simpler video.This video explains VSEPR Theory & Molecular Shapes. The valance shell electron pair repulsion theory states that electrons repel each other which gives predictable molecular shapes...linear, tetrahedral, bent, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal planar.....enjoy!

    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.

    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!

    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!

      @sciencepost  9 років тому +3

      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!

    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! :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
