The MO diagram is the best way, but there are other methods that can help. If thinking about it at the gen chem level, what has lone pairs (Lewis base) and what can accept lone pairs (Lewis acid). If you are in more advanced classes, what is a nucleophile and what is an electrophile is the way to go!

@@drscottsimpson thanks for helps. have a good day!

@@sakacibiri No problem! I hope it helps.

A University. I am a professor at St. Bonaventure University.

Thank you for your kind words!

I am sorry about that. Is there something I can clear up?

You are correct. I should have pointed that out better, but did not want to discuss 1st order or 2nd order (pseudo) Jahn-Teller distortions.

Those are somewhat harder but this primer can help. You have to scroll down quiet a bit. extrudesign.com/how-to-calculate-miller-indices-for-crystallographic-planes/

I hope they help.

I am not sure what you mean...

I would suggest Physical Chemistry by Engel and Reid: www.amazon.com/Physical-Chemistry-3rd-Thomas-Engel/dp/032181200X

Wow, thank you! I hope these lectures help!

Thanks! I hope it helped!

Thanks. I hope It helps!

Thank you. I hope it helps!

Thanks a ton! I hope it helped!

@@drscottsimpson It definitely did!

Some of my general Chemistry videos would be appropriate for the high school level!

Thanks a ton! I really like quantum and my job! If you have ideas of other things you would like to see, please let me know!

@@drscottsimpson I was wondering if you can make any lessons on electromagnetism? Thank you for all your hard work and excellent vidoes! I am a huge fan!

I do not think I would be the best one for that one... Electromagnetism is more a physics type topic. Sorry!

I am glad it helped! Let me know if there is more topics you would like to see

Thanks! I hope these videos help. Please feel free to share them and let me know if there are topics you would like me to discuss!

Thanks! I honestly do not like any 1 book but I use 4 to 8 books. I suggest the following books: Physical Chemistry by David W. Ball Physical Chemistry by Atkins Physical Chemistry by Philip Reid and Thomas Engel. I like Reid and Engel's book the most but there are a lot of errors in the example questions... Maybe one day I will write my own book!

Anytime! I hope it helps. If there is another topic you would like to see, I can try my best to make something.

This is enough! I hope it helps. Please share my videos with those you think it would help.

I am glad it is helpful!

Honestly, I would check out biophysics or bioinformatics. There are a lot of careers associated with these fields of study in the US. What country are you in? And thank you for the praise!

@@drscottsimpson Unfortunately I am not from a country developed in this direction. I am from East Europe. Here u have 2 options for a safe career: computer science or med school. And as a med student, I am discovering that even with this pathway u can end up jobless. There are very very few jobs or engineering. And they are paid very very bad, if u have luck to find one. I mean... a person who has no superior studies can be paid way a lot better. Physics faculty also doesn't offer jobs. I made my research.

That is unfortunate! To really get at what is going on, you need to learn Calculus but once you have that, it is all downhill from there!

Thanks for catching this! You are right! I botched it. Once I figure out how to edit videos, I will put a comment in here.

To see?

Haha! This has to be one of the weirdest comments I have ever received. Honestly, I do work out my shoulders with military presses 3 times a week and I used to be a long-distance swimmer, so I guess it is from that? Another weird thing is that according to 23andMe, I have more Neanderthal DNA than 99% of the people taking the genetic testing, so maybe it is because I am less evolved. My comfort level really comes from the love of the topic and the great interaction with students. I know I needed lectures like these to keep me on-task when I was a student, so I just model my lectures this way. Glad you are enjoying this!

It is Chemistry related! I think it has to do more with the lifetime of the star and if stars hit each other. For example living stars spit out lighter elements (Hydrogen, helium, carbon), dying stars spit out heaven elements (calcium, nickel, etc.), stars colliding make even heavier elements (uranium, bismuth, etc.). My knowledge is very limited in this area and comes from a book called "Astrophysics for babies". I will ask my physicis friend, James Pientka, when I get to work later. Also here is this link to help new.nsf.gov/science-matters/stars-within-us

Thanks a ton! I hope it is helpful!

Any time!

The activation energy does not stay constant with temperature. It actually changes. Sometimes you assume it does not change.

That might not work well. Generally, Huckel calculations are only consider pi systems. Given that methane is not really in that category, it might not work out well.

@@drscottsimpsonthanks for replying ❤so then how can I solve the Hamiltonian matrix ?

@@NabaAlHakmani That one is a tough one. Usually via computers. However, I am not sure if you making any initial assumptions when developing your Hamiltonian matrix?

@@drscottsimpson hmm is there a specific computational tool that I can learn how to use it to give me the orbital energies corresponding to each irreducible representation?

Yes. Try WebMO@@NabaAlHakmani

I hope it helps!

Great! I hope it helps and you take it with you in the future!

You cant

You would need a super conductor and access to liquid nitrogen. I highly suggest to not do this with kids.

Can't wait!

Thank you!

Bitte Nele!

😂 sorry the editing software I use is janky.

I hope so!

Glad it was helpful!

Anytime!

Glad it was helpful! Good luck in your studies!

The i is the imaginary number (-1)^(1/2)
