  • Models are great, except they're also usually inaccurate. In this episode of Crash Course Chemistry, Hank discusses why we need models in the world and how we can learn from them... even when they're almost completely wrong. Plus, Lewis Structures!

    I know you guys get this very often, but thank you so much. Chemistry doesn't come naturally to me, and you guys present the information in such a simple and straightforward way. I've always thought learning was fun, but you guys make me enjoy even the hardest subjects (to me). Thank you for doing this!

    It's hard to comprehend everything you are saying when you speak so fast. Not everybody is a natural with molecular geometry, chemical bonding and Lewis structures, so most of us who are learning appreciate when the information is slowed down. Thanks ^^

    screaming right now.... less then 2 days before AP chemistry exams ;-;
    funny thing is in my AP chem class when drawing Lewis structures we use lines to represent bonds. but apparently we found out the AP exam says those lines are 'too advanced' and will receive ZERO credit if you have lines in the drawing of Lewis structures

    Hey theres something that confuses me. Why is H2O bent instead of linear? Should the H have bonds and the 4 dots of electrons be on the top and bottom of oxygen?

    • @stevegerrish6720
      @stevegerrish6720 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      When you have extra electrons surrounding the central atoms the un-bonded electron pairs repel the other atoms attached to the central atom (in this case the two hydrogen atoms). Because of this its electron shape and its molecular shape are different.

      check out this chart, the blue spheres represent electrons surrounding the central atom you can see how they take up space and therefore repel other bonded atoms surrounding the central atom.

    • @yousefal-awadi1742
      @yousefal-awadi1742 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Calvin Malagon having 2 dots or electrons is called a lone pair
      While water H2O consists of 3 atoms it might be linear or bent
      The central atom is O and has two lone pairs one at the bottom and the other at the top
      The rule says if there is a lone pair(s) in the central atom when the compound consists of three atoms it will be bent
      CO2 is linear because the central atom carbon has no lone pair. I hope that u got the point mate :)
      U choose ):)

    Hey guys! Listen up! Here's some shortcuts to building Lewis Structures or Skeletal Structures (those are more Organic Chemistry...they are the ones that look like lines and pentagons and hexagons). Assuming all atoms are neutral, Carbon will always have four bonds, Nitrogen will have a single lone pair the three bons, Oxygen will have two and two, and halogens (F, Cl, Br, I & At...not that you'll ever see At) will have a single bond and three lone pairs as they are more electronegative and thus rather grabby with electrons. Now, if there are formal charges, which are basically like charges in general but internalized inside the molecule, that changes things, but not too much.
    Positive formal charges makes Carbon act like Boron with three bonds and that's all. Nitrogen will act like Carbon with three bonds and no LPs, Oxygen will have Nitrogen's bond configuration with three bonds and one LP, like in the Hydronium ion. Halogens will be two and two. That's all for positive formal charges.
    Negative formal charges move things in the opposite direction. BTW, it helps to visualize this on a table. Perhaps when/if any of you take Organic Chemistry your textbook will have such a table. Anyways, negative Carbon will have Nitrogen's bond config with three bonds and a lone pair. Nitrogen will be like a neutral Oxygen, Oxygen will be like a halogen with a single bond and three LPs, and if a halogen has a negative formal charge, then you have an ion, and thus a net charge as well.
    Hopefully this will help you guys. Two LONG semesters of Organic Chemistry...not once did I need to tally electrons when building Lewis/Skeletal Structures.

      "Nitrogen will act like Carbon with three bonds and no LPs"
      ACK! Four! A formal charge on Nitrogen will result in four bonds, and no lone pairs of electrons.

    Why don't quadruple bands exist? Why can;t there be a quadruple bond of carbon? C2

    • @madaboutit2306

      cuz logic

    • @makeitmusical
      @makeitmusical 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      A neutral C2 doesn't actually usually exist. Usually it comes as acetylide which is C2(2-)

    • @spacegames4685
      @spacegames4685 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      But why

    • @makeitmusical
      @makeitmusical 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Electrons like to spread out when possible. Having a quadruple band would mean all of the density is at the center. Although achieving an octet is desirable, electrons also do repel, thus at that point your repelling force is greater than the force of bonding.

    I'll be honest I don't feel like this fast talking zip through crash course if of any help at all. There's tons of other videos where they will explain it slowly and carefully, step by step. I can't keep up with this motormouth, he whizzes through topics as if he were explaining something that we already have a working knowledge of.

  • @heyitsasya4022
    @heyitsasya4022 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    a tip for finding out covalent bonds: 1. add valence electrons, 2. if the atoms were noble gases, add the electrons they would have eg H-2 F- 8, 3. subtract the noble e's from the valence ones and divide by two. This makes sense because the noble electrons are the ones you don't have (so you must share) and each bond has two.
