Polar & Non-Polar Molecules: Crash Course Chemistry #23

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2024
  • Molecules come in infinite varieties, so in order to help the complicated chemical world make a little more sense, we classify and categorize them. One of the most important of those classifications is whether a molecule is polar or non-polar, which describes a kind of symmetry - not just of the molecule, but of the charge. In this edition of Crash Course Chemistry, Hank comes out for Team Polar and describes why these molecules are so interesting to him.
    You'll learn that molecules need to have both charge asymmetry and geometric asymmetry to be polar, and that charge asymmetry is caused by a difference in electronegativities. You'll also learn how to notate a dipole moment (or charge separation) of a molecule, the physical mechanism behind like dissolves like, and why water is so dang good at fostering life on Earth.

    Just STARTING to learn this... and this went SO fast - it was confusing. I think this is more for people who are SURE of a concept and just want to review before a test, than it is for those just learning about it and want to understand the concept from the beginning.
    I'll be back after I'm SURE of the concept.

      The greatest Biology, Anatomy, & Physiology teaching videos I have found on You Tube are from a college asst professor out of California named Wendy Riggs. (Her channel is called Wendy Riggs) She explains things so clearly that I understand them MUCH better from her than with my college professor. Carrying a 98.4% in Anatomy and Physiology I this semester...and THAT miracle is pretty well because I found ;Wendy's channel... and, of course, LOTS of hard work.

    Let me sum it up so you can let it sink in:
    Polar molecules:
    -do not have symmetry in their chemical formula
    -may be bonded with Hydrogen
    Nonpolar molecules:
    -Have symmetry in their chemical formula
    -may be composed of only 1 element
    -may only be composed of Hydrogen and Carbon

    To those who are having trouble keeping up,(I am not making fun of I simply comment to offer advice), turning on the captions can help with absorbing all of the information. Also, get used to the fact that your not going to always get the concept the with the first explanation,(Especially with Chemistry and the b**ch particle, AKA the electron) and that is why the rewind feature should be used often. Another thing to remember is that this is meant to be an overview meant for consultation, not for in depth learning of the concept being taught in its entirety. I hope this helped.

    I discovered this channel a few days ago and I love it, but I feel there may have been a couple of fairly significant slip-ups in this video. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hank says water is able to dissolve virtually anything remotely non-polar. Should he not have said that water is able to dissolve virtually anything remotely *polar*?

    Great, your better than my professor but you explain too fast I wish you can take it a bit slow. The speed is challenging though it makes me listen attentively. But seriously your awesome it's really a big help. Thank you so much. :)

    These videos are a great addition to my academic course! I love listening at 1/2 speed, slows down the material enough to really take in the information and a bonus it's no longer "crash course" more like "drunk science" ;)

    Chemistry, I think, is the most beautiful study, because it's study of everything. Hank made it to me even more beautiful.

    • @MagisterJake
      @MagisterJake 10 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      No, you're wrong. Physics is the most beautiful area of science, as it is the science that can explain everything, even Chemistry.

    • @planetexpress8125
      @planetexpress8125 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I like both, chemistry and physics, but for me they aren't so different. I like to think that chemistry is just a little part of The Greatest Science, called physics. And this part (plus quantum mechanics) is what I like in physics.

    I survive off of these videos to learn things that my teacher fails to teach (basically all of it). I find the speed perfectly funny and it isn't a problem for me to simply pause the video, write a couple notes and continue on my way. Thankyou for making these! I watch a lot of crash course simply for the fun and interesting topics, or like now, to survive yet another year of school.

  • @stretcharmstross
    @stretcharmstross 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Honestly, changing the speed is so helpful for these videos. Some of them I can watch at 1.5 or even 2 if it's something I'm familiar with and just watching for anything unfamiliar. For the ones I'm less familiar with, I usually watch at normal speed but keep my hand on the space bar to pause as soon as he says something new. Good luck to everyone! :)
