A video on why water is not flammable would also be great :). I pretty much understand it's related to the exothermic reaction that hydrogen goes through to bond with the oxygen and create the compound Water (or something like that, please correct me if I'm wrong there). Anyway I'm still fascinated by the fact that you can take 2 hydrogen atoms (Flammable) and 1 Oxygen Atom (Fire Starter), put them together and boom... Well... No boom, it puts out fires.... Chemistry Rocks.
I have extreme struggles focusing on my homework right now and the energy in this video is helping me get back into the zone. Wow! It's like curing my ADD in the moment. I really appreciate this. =)
I wish you did a video on acids and bases and Ph and titration I have a hard time learning form anyone else but you for my chemistry class. Or the Bronstad-Lowry Model to work out problems with acid based reactions
Sir, thank you very much making me understand in a very simple way. I am not science student, but your lecture left an immense impact me to understand around. Your lecture will also be introduced to the students who really want to see the world scientifically. A Great contribution.
he's so much concerned about us that at the end of every video he do a kind of small tour of what he just explained through the whole video in order to keep students from going back again and messing all their concentration if they have missed a point You are a true helper thank you very much
awesome video, just gotta add that the Sodium in Sodium Chloride gives that extra electron to Chlorine which is why it becomes negatively charged (i.e. now has one more electron in it)
Thanks for getting me interested in Science which I hated in school. Now at middle age came across your videos and just for fun watching them and learning Science!
I stumbled upon this video and I am very pleased that I did. Please tell me you plan on staying around and fighting the good fight! If university's and the government doesn't want to compromise on education then I feel this is the answer. Tyler sees the big picture!
Wow! Such a brilliant video and excellent explanation about this matter. I wish that you had been teaching chemistry at my school all those years ago, I would have been so much more interested in this subject. Thanks a lot. :)
Very good way of explaining. This is your 2nd video i am watching. The previous one was on solubility of ionic and covalent compounds. Extremely awesome explanation and approach.
Very informative video, thanks. As a suggestion, I believe it would be more complete if you described where the electron donated by sodium went in the chemical reaction. I'm assuming it was donated to the hydrogen to allow the hydrogen to become neutral and form H2, and then the Na takes the place of that hydrogen in NaOH. Which means that hydrogen wants the electron more than sodium, as reflected in the electronegativity of the atoms--which makes sense since the donated electron in sodium is in a more distant energy state (we called them 'shells' long ago when I was in chemistry class).
so what happens when they dissociate in solution? presumably they retain their ionization, but why, given the ability of water to donate in whole or in part an electron?
Hi! Everything looks nice, but i don't understand one thing - why neutral sodium "want" to give away that last electron? Does everything tends to be neutral?
It has to do with outer electron shell wanting to be full. Atoms want to be neutrally charged, but they also want their outer electron shell to be as full as possible. Chlorine needs one more electron to fill it's outer electron shell. So Sodium gladly gives up an electron making its remaining outer shell full. Now the positively charged Sodium and negatively charged Chlorine are attracted to each other like magnets. This is Ionic bonding. Covalent bonds share the outer electron, their outer shells merge, sorta gluing themselves together.
Question: Through Ionic bonding, sodium temporarily gives its valence electrons to the negative chlorine ion, but doesn't it get it back when they split up/dissolve in water? Why does Na not become unstable again and create the whole hydrogen reaction when it in-bonds from chlorine during the dissolving process?
How can Na be neutral? Na is a metal, thetefore it has metallic bonding. Therefore there is 1 deliocalised electron. If its neutral it cant be a wire??
Good question. Yes, sodium (and all metals) involved in metallic bonding have a delocalized electron, but we don't consider the atoms to be ions until they are no longer metallically bonded. Whenever you have a solid metal, the atoms are considered neutral. So a copper wire is made of neutral copper (Cu°). An iron nail is neutral iron (Fe°). You're right that they have delocalized electrons, and that's why electricity flows through them, but the atoms aren't considered real ions if they're in solid metal held together with metallic bonding. Also, just as an aside, a wire made of sodium metal wouldn't be a great idea. It would explode in the presence of water vapor!
Very nice job explaining with visuals! I teach middle school science, and used this video in the past, but with the new NGSS this content has too much information (chemistry is so "watered down" now :( ). Long story short, I'd like to use this concept as a "Phenomenon" to introduce the unit on physical and chemical properties, so I am hoping that I can figure out how to edit irrelevant (no fault of yours) material out.... Or... maybe you can create Middle school material based on NGSS :) :) :)
so if you put sodium in water you end with drinkable salty water?...something tells me you shouldn't drink the water, but according to your explanation it seems like you can (?)
My oblivious ass for 28 years pouring vast amounts of tablesalt in boiling hot water, not knowing the only reason im still here on this green earth is because of the distribution of a singular electron.
it is not clear why water is willing to or eager to accept electrons whereas kerocene is not interested in sodium electrons. isnt kerocene as flammable as hydrogen.
Tyler you're the best . Thank you for taking your time to teach us .
I have never enjoyed chemistry much til i subscribed to your channel.
Keep up the good work

Best explanation. You're teaching us step by step. It's explained so clearly. Thank you!
My favorite video to date, Tyler. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Detroit!
Thanks! I had fun making it, too!
Tyler DeWitt yeah . you had fun making the video. You look very happy on the whole video.
this video made me understand this so well that my chem teacher is gonna think I copied my answers off the internet
What has happened to you man? I haven’t seen you for two years, hope you have motivation to come back.
I miss learning from him😢
I have extreme struggles focusing on my homework right now and the energy in this video is helping me get back into the zone. Wow! It's like curing my ADD in the moment. I really appreciate this. =)
You are SO awesome. I'm studying to take a CLEP exam on this information and im telling you, your videos are FANTASTIC!!!!!
I love how your trying not to laugh 😂
Lol and he knows why. It's so funny seeing a science teacher in those moments.
Thank you for elaborating in your explanation instead of trying to give a short, vague answer.
9 years later and still informative thanks
I wish you did a video on acids and bases and Ph and titration I have a hard time learning form anyone else but you for my chemistry class. Or the Bronstad-Lowry Model to work out problems with acid based reactions
Yvonne House I agree.
Sir, thank you very much making me understand in a very simple way. I am not science student, but your lecture left an immense impact me to understand around. Your lecture will also be introduced to the students who really want to see the world scientifically. A Great contribution.
Tyler , I enjoyed this class. Thank you
You are really good at this. Thanks for the lesson brother, I'm now a subscriber.
Love the HAIR cut! Awesome video =)
You have a talent explaining things it s very enjoyable! Thank you !
Great explanation. You made it easy to process this process for that i gotta thank you
he's so much concerned about us that at the end of every video he do a kind of small tour of what he just explained through the whole video in order to keep students from going back again and messing all their concentration if they have missed a point
You are a true helper thank you very much
Wonderful explanation and graphics.
what about if you were to pour molten salt into water why is it then explosive to water just like sodium metal if it still has the atoms?
cincinati zoo Backyard scientist put out a video about molten salt and water.
Best vedio I never seen at any chenal
awesome video, just gotta add that the Sodium in Sodium Chloride gives that extra electron to Chlorine which is why it becomes negatively charged (i.e. now has one more electron in it)
Such a great effort . Thanks❤🌹😊
Thanks for getting me interested in Science which I hated in school. Now at middle age came across your videos and just for fun watching them and learning Science!
I really love how you explain. 👌❤
Wow what a cool explanation. awesome sir..
I stumbled upon this video and I am very pleased that I did. Please tell me you plan on staying around and fighting the good fight! If university's and the government doesn't want to compromise on education then I feel this is the answer. Tyler sees the big picture!
Beautifully explained!
You are just a fantabulous teacher.... I salute you..
Wow! Such a brilliant video and excellent explanation about this matter. I wish that you had been teaching chemistry at my school all those years ago, I would have been so much more interested in this subject. Thanks a lot. :)
Great explanation
Amazing. Hope you are back someday.
Hi Tyler!! You're amazing thank you. Just wondering will you be posting any videos on Acid & Base and Equilibirum?
he has no post since 2015
Does it happen with all elements that have only one electron on its outermost energy level?
Very good way of explaining. This is your 2nd video i am watching. The previous one was on solubility of ionic and covalent compounds. Extremely awesome explanation and approach.
I like it, it was your first video I really like it I will follow you more. thank u
tq so much make me understand about how bad reaction between sodium and water
Best explaination for this........theoritical explaination from my teacher just makes me sleep........Thank you so much Tyler Sir...
Good teacher, nicely explained
And my question is why the sodium ions doesnt react and make sodium hydroxide....
fun fact: chloride has 1 less atom and NEEDS a atom to complete its full body, sodium gives it to chloride
Very informative video, thanks. As a suggestion, I believe it would be more complete if you described where the electron donated by sodium went in the chemical reaction. I'm assuming it was donated to the hydrogen to allow the hydrogen to become neutral and form H2, and then the Na takes the place of that hydrogen in NaOH. Which means that hydrogen wants the electron more than sodium, as reflected in the electronegativity of the atoms--which makes sense since the donated electron in sodium is in a more distant energy state (we called them 'shells' long ago when I was in chemistry class).
can you make a video on balancing redox reactions?
i wish you make a video on why acids corrode the things whats the basics behind... kindly make a video on it. 😊
Best Teacher...
So, in general for any atom/molecule, the release of an electron always generates A LOT of energy?
so what happens when they dissociate in solution? presumably they retain their ionization, but why, given the ability of water to donate in whole or in part an electron?
I needed to know and now I know.
Thank you
Which which subject do u teach
Great video! Great explanation!
Hi! Everything looks nice, but i don't understand one thing - why neutral sodium "want" to give away that last electron? Does everything tends to be neutral?
+Ivars Kruglinskis by losing electron it will attain noble gas configuration ( 8 electrons , neon ) i.e extra stability
It has to do with outer electron shell wanting to be full. Atoms want to be neutrally charged, but they also want their outer electron shell to be as full as possible. Chlorine needs one more electron to fill it's outer electron shell. So Sodium gladly gives up an electron making its remaining outer shell full. Now the positively charged Sodium and negatively charged Chlorine are attracted to each other like magnets. This is Ionic bonding. Covalent bonds share the outer electron, their outer shells merge, sorta gluing themselves together.
So could you say sodium gets ionized when you put it into water?
Can u make a video on isomers?
where does the 2 come from in the equations?
Does that apply on the other metals too that are unstable? , do they explode when put in water ?
+Hend Mesbah it depends on its reactivity... group 1 metals are incredibly reactive. like potassium and sodium
Because all of the energy is used up powering your hand gestures?
Bro , i love yur explanation so much
why are there no new videos sir reply plz
But water is nucleophile right!!then how it can accept electron from Na atom?? Plsss answer
You are the best🤗
Amazing explanation!! Thank you!
Thus going down the first group we'll have more reactive elements because the outer electron is less bounded?
Question: Through Ionic bonding, sodium temporarily gives its valence electrons to the negative chlorine ion, but doesn't it get it back when they split up/dissolve in water? Why does Na not become unstable again and create the whole hydrogen reaction when it in-bonds from chlorine during the dissolving process?
Thank you for your great explanation
please make a video on "what is spectrum and atomic spectra?" i have searched many youtube videos but with fail . please help me.
great video. very informative
your videos is really really very very awesome, wish you had videos about every my question :D
the way you make understand is amazing 😍
Why other groups don't exdlode?I think, the more electrones are gone, the more energy is made.
thanks for your hard work ..i appreciate that.
Do all of the ionic salts are stable and non - reactive ???
How can i contact you
when sodium reacts with chlorine to form salt does that release a lot of energy? if so where to?
+TeKett
thx :)
Sir please do more videos ✨with lots of respect I'm asking you.omg no one can do such super cool chemistry lessons.please post more topics.
Most unique teach
Every electron matters...
@The HexManYT. Yeah
why we use this model of atom even after quantam model
This is amazing!! I love it!
Thanks, i was just thinking about this. Also it's crazy how everything has its own life even the pants I'm wearing got protons and electrons in them 😂
why aren't there any ads?
Sodimchloride absorbs water, is this true of sodium in its metal form
Sodium & potassium hate their own electron so badly, that's makes me really sad. electron bro don't worry we love you :)
How can Na be neutral? Na is a metal, thetefore it has metallic bonding. Therefore there is 1 deliocalised electron. If its neutral it cant be a wire??
Good question. Yes, sodium (and all metals) involved in metallic bonding have a delocalized electron, but we don't consider the atoms to be ions until they are no longer metallically bonded.

I love you Tylor u saving ..👍
superb ex plained
Is that an exothermic reaction ?
Yes! A super exothermic reaction!

Absolutely lovely
Helpful
so if you put sodium in water you end with drinkable salty water?...something tells me you shouldn't drink the water, but according to your explanation it seems like you can (?)
Sacco Belmonte no bro. Na + H2O -> NaOH + H. You’ll be drinking caustic water. Not smart
My oblivious ass for 28 years pouring vast amounts of tablesalt in boiling hot water, not knowing the only reason im still here on this green earth is because of the distribution of a singular electron.
it is not clear why water is willing to or eager to accept electrons whereas kerocene is not interested in sodium electrons. isnt kerocene as flammable as hydrogen.
It does if you melt it.
Me having a chemistry test and watching this at 5:00 am in the morning
Table salt does explodes in water if you melt it.
that one electron: 👁👄👁
Tyler plz upload more videos.....plz plz plz
Why water are need 1 electron
