He explains it to the simplest method because he understands the concepts very well. He is young but has the ART in teaching. A teacher can not give what he does not have. The reason why many students struggle with chemistry. Books are very hard to understand also.
Im pretty sure the majority of students now learn more from online videos rather than their classes. (At least for the basics, not so sure about the next level stuff)
Yeah, that's a good point. In the future, I'll try to make a video that discusses the difference between molecular geometry and electron geometry. Thanks for your suggestion.
I just came back to say thank you and God bless you. I made an A in chemistry last semester where everyone was complaining of not doing well. despite the fact that I couldn't submit 3 assignments and you and a few others were the ones God used for me(only went to other channels if I don't see a video on the topic in your channel because your explanations always did the magic) please write a chemistry text book that would explain things the way you do In videos.
It's videos like this that remind me chemistry isn't hard, most people just don't teach it very well. My professor teaches it like she's reviewing stuff you should already know and it's annoying asf. The way you break it down and build up to the point of it all is how chemistry should be taught.

Here in Canada we're learning this in grade 10. So basically 14 and 15 year olds are learning this. It doesn't matter when u learn something in school, it matters if you're learning it before or after other students :D
Best explanation on VSEPR theory till now. I love the way you teach, unlike other teachers who make these things complicated and only focus on memorising. Thanks a ton❤
Tyler DeWitt...........you are awesome! I had absolutely no idea about the concept of VSEPR theorum even after learning it in school and at a coaching centre...........but you could wipe awy all my doubts in just half an hour.....I thank you and i am grateful to you for making this so simple.....keep up the good videos!!(Y)
The angles between equatorial atoms are 120 degrees where as the axial atoms are only 90 degrees apart. Since the electrons repel, the molecule will keep the shape with the greatest distance between electron domains. Replacing axial atoms keeps more distance between atoms than replacing equatorial ones.
thank u so much sir. you're awesome. but in linear shape why do lone pairs not push the bonds downwards ??how can they have 180 angles ??please explain.
Sirajum Munir The net repulsion from three lone pairs cancels out each other and it results in no bending. Think of tug war when rope is pulled with same force from either side, then rope doesn't move. Hope that's understandable.
Suuuperr late...but they experience less repulsion that way....for example in SF4 with a see-saw shaped geometry, one lone pair and four bond pairs, the lone pair in the equatorial position can distance itself better from the others, decreasing the repulsion. (Lonepair lone pair repulsion> bond pair lone pair repulsion, > bond pair bond pair repulsion.)
Stephen Gevanni it's because lone pair of electrons is under the influence of only one nucleus so the electron cloud will take more space and have more ability to repel whereas the bonded pair of electrons are under the influence of the 2 nucleus n there space of electron cloud is limited n hence there repelling power is limited
May you please do videos on dimensional analysis, mole relationships, and stoichiometry. Your videos are really helpful and are better than khan academy.
Your videos are really nice! I am in my first year at university, and I have an oral exam in chemistry, I understand VSEPR theory but I found it was difficult to explain again to my teacher without any mistakes, so I hope that I will pass without any problems. Thank you. ( Sorry for my english , I come from Belgium)
I have a chemistry exam in 6 hours and I was struggling to remember all this, but I understand so well now!! Thank you so much, I know I won't have a problem with this in my exam anymore!!! You really explained it so well!
The best teacher ever! :) After watching these videos,honestly,I like this topic ,because it seems to me very easy .Really, everything is clear in your speech .Thank you very much !GOOD LUCK!! :)
Thank you it helped me alot.. awesome.. I need help in reading NMR spectra. I need to find out what compound is present seeing the spectra and I missed my class due to health issues. Do u have any related vedios? plz help
I was taught that lone pairs occupy more space than bonds and therefore they want to be as far as possible from each other. So I don't understand the T-shaped geometry. Why are the lone pairs in equatorial positions next to each other instead of in axial positions at 180º from each other, making a trigonal planar geometry???
I'm taking a class with a professor named Simon Simms at City College. He is a good man, but he can't teach for shit. You have no idea the gratitude and appreciation I have for these videos.
Tyler DeWitt u just replied.. Woahhhh... That's unbelievable... Okay if u r reading this.... Plz plz plz make more videos on topics like hybridisation MOT... LIKE every topic in the book of an Indian high school student... I can tell u all chapters .. But only if u rply cos then I will know that u read and there is some use of writing such long msgs
It´s been 5 years, don´t know if you are checking the comments but dude you fucking saved my life, best explanation ever+you cute. If you also made some molecule orbital theory videos that would have been perfect. Anyway, thank you very very much!
ïm just learning something new itz like my teacher are sooo stupidd they make simple thingz seem so difficult thankzzz alott tylerrr:-* :) :)# Bestt Teacher
Why isn't PCl5 a square pyramidal structure and why isn't ClF3 a trigonal pyramidal like ammonia as it has 2 pairs of lone electrons which should push the two of its side bonds closer to the third one
How come they don't follow the octet rule? When will you know if you have to use the octet rule when you're going to build its lewis structure to form the vsper? PS. Sorry for the grammar
I'm not sure if you did or not, but you should point out the difference between electron geometry & molecular geometry. When you say, "SF_4 is a seesaw shape," that only refers to its molecular geom... I know you know that but in my CHM course we can get tricked by the wording of questions (EG vs. MG).
I found another one that has five things around a central atom,it is hydrochloric acid. It has one bond and four lone electron pairs. The bond shape is a liner shape.
zero group elements generally don't react but compounds of xenon have been found. It's on the lower end of the group and has higher weight so it does form compounds. It is the only zero group element which reacts.
He explains it to the simplest method because he understands the concepts very well. He is young but has the ART in teaching. A teacher can not give what he does not have. The reason why many students struggle with chemistry. Books are very hard to understand also.
can you replace my chemistry professor please?
noo cuz he gonna replace mine ! hhhh
I wish he could
so did you pass chem or what?
tf when your teacher can't teach so you have watch TH-cam videos to pass the class ;(
fluffymarshmellows02 so true
I once actually passed a test in Differential Equations just by studying problems on the "Paul's Online Math Notes" site for a few weeks, lol.

Please
This is how chemistry should be taught!! Love you!!

He's way better than my current professor, no shade, just scientific facts 😂
Put it on 2x speed, and you're golden.
thank you for this video very much. please make a video on VBT and MOT theory
10:53 so the molecule is really creatively called a T-SHAPE molecule ) xD)
Never laughed so hard while studying before

our teacher taught this for one week and you taught it in minutes 😩 thank youu
why it is always that bonds of equatorial atoms are replaced by pair of electron and not by axial bond????????
The angles between equatorial atoms are 120 degrees where as the axial atoms are only 90 degrees apart. Since the electrons repel, the molecule will keep the shape with the greatest distance between electron domains. Replacing axial atoms keeps more distance between atoms than replacing equatorial ones.
IT WAS IN MY MIND!THANK YOU SOSOSOSO MUCH!I AM DANCING NOW WITH JOY!❤❤
@@kcwilliams07 wait....did you mean "replacing equatorial atoms". Please come back and clarify I'm confused, lol.
can you do a video for hybridization please
This is how I have learn structure of molecule easily .thanks teacher
AMAZING - thank you! Much appreciated. Makes a lot more sense now. :) Now headed to your video on octahedrals...
hello, i really want to thank you for this and every videos u did! God bless you!
You're a literal angel. The lessons are so simple and easy to understand. Thank you very much!
thank u so much sir. you're awesome.
but in linear shape why do lone pairs not push the bonds downwards ??how can they have 180 angles ??please explain.
the two chlorine atoms facing each other cancel out
you're really good,i get my chemistry teacher's lecture again from you
i've a question too. how do i get the last one 180 degree. i mean how do i understand the repultion of 3 lp will make it to 180 degree
Sirajum Munir The net repulsion from three lone pairs cancels out each other and it results in no bending. Think of tug war when rope is pulled with same force from either side, then rope doesn't move. Hope that's understandable.
The effort that has been put into making this is very much appreciated
U are superbly awesome sir I understood the concept very well just because of you . love from india🥰🥰
you are so smart Sir . Thank you so much , i now understand this topic .
So easy to understand from a great teacher.
I wish I found out about you sooner, you are extremely helpful and amazing at what you do. Thank you!
why doesn't one of the lone pairs replace one of the axle atom, instead only replace the the equatorial atoms?

Very nice video helped me a lot in understanding the entire concept of VSPER theory
there will never ever be another chem teacher as great as tyler!!!
Hey Tyler my bro, I got a question, why does the lone pairs always acquire the equatorial position? Why do they not occupy the axial positions?
Do the lone electron pairs ONLY push the bonds of the axial atoms? (to make the angle less)
Crazy how I'm watching this in 2021. This video is gonna be watched forever.
Thanks for the good tutorial. Why is it that it's the equatorial atoms that are replaced by lone pairs and not the axial atoms?
Man , start teaching for IIT jee , you gon' blow up , we need teachers like you
Plzz tell me why inert gas like Xe accept electrons
You have saved my grade for my quiz that i'm taking in 2 hours thank you so much!!!
jarobi flashbacks to crash course physics
this is so much better than my chem prof just yelling at us
Is there a specific reason as to why you kept the lone pair in the equatorial and not in the axial positions???
Hello Sir, I had a doubt in how do we get to know from the lewis structures that the the lone pair electrons are axial or equitorial???
Your videos are really nice! I am in my first year at university, and I have an oral exam in chemistry, I understand VSEPR theory but I found it was difficult to explain again to my teacher without any mistakes, so I hope that I will pass without any problems. Thank you. ( Sorry for my english , I come from Belgium)
Thank you so much Tyler brother. you really deserve a best chemistry tutor and professor!
Thanks for the video, I am the new subscriber!
Why does the lone pair occupies the equitorial position only?
Because the repulsion is less in 120 deg than 90 deg
What if the central atom has one lone pair and one electron which is not bonded then the angle might change what is the answer for it
Not all heroes wear capes
All of your VSEPR videos have helped me so much in understanding. Thank you so much!
I have a chemistry exam in 6 hours and I was struggling to remember all this, but I understand so well now!! Thank you so much, I know I won't have a problem with this in my exam anymore!!! You really explained it so well!

Oh my God! This guy is a genius.
I love you. I am taking chemistry again and this is super helpful!
in fcl2 how can we decide which two we need to replace
Thank you so so much Tyler! You and your videos are greatly appreciated! :-)
The lone pairs look so funny
How to identify the central atom?
How to draw vespr structure of BFClBr

is there a more technical term for the seesaw molecule or is that the only name for it?
The technical term is "disphenoidal," but I've honestly never ever heard anyone use it!

Someone answer FAST. What is the difference between Trigonal bipyramidal and Pyramidal
Looking at the T-shaped molecule, I assume the angle between the equatorial atoms is similar to the 'Seesaw' molecule,
i love this guy
Which of your videos would help me with organic chemistry? We are going over the basics, identifying functional groups, etc.
the best tutor ever 👌🌸
Great explanation
you are our saviour
u r amazing i reallu lve u ur my god!!!!!!!!
Can you tell us what its properties(i.e. boiling point, melting point, solubility, etc.) are? Thanks :)
Why isn't PCl5 a square pyramidal structure and why isn't ClF3 a trigonal pyramidal like ammonia as it has 2 pairs of lone electrons which should push the two of its side bonds closer to the third one
I loved this video... thankyou so much for a good detailed explanation. ❤️❤️
Nobel Please for this guy!
Just 1 req.. Plz buy a good clarity camera.. except this you are in the top of my favourite list... *cheers*
Thank you bro
What is the structure of (ICl2)- i.e the Iodine Dichloride ion? Is it linear like XeF2? Help please.
How come they don't follow the octet rule? When will you know if you have to use the octet rule when you're going to build its lewis structure to form the vsper?
PS. Sorry for the grammar
It feels kinda nice not learning from a teacher with broken English and god awful hand writing 😊🙌🏼🙌🏼
Jai shree ram
Books have 2d diagrams which are so damn confusing. You made it so easy!!!!! Here have a 👍
Trigonal bipyramidal forms (6) 90 and 3 120 degree angle is that true
I love this
This is way better than my coaching material. Hit a LIKE if u agree ..!!!
it's kinda annoying how he pronounces equatorial
this really helped a Pharmacy Student from Germany , so thank you !!
Can I conclude that for every molecular structure that has lone pair will have different angle for different molecule?
I'm not sure if you did or not, but you should point out the difference between electron geometry & molecular geometry. When you say, "SF_4 is a seesaw shape," that only refers to its molecular geom... I know you know that but in my CHM course we can get tricked by the wording of questions (EG vs. MG).
I found another one that has five things around a central atom,it is hydrochloric acid. It has one bond and four lone electron pairs. The bond shape is a liner shape.
Is there a difference caused by the axial and equatorial position? Like what causes the angles to be different and not all the same?
Xe is 0 group element how can if bond with F
I think it's Dative Bonding
+Light Yagami huh?
zero group elements generally don't react but compounds of xenon have been found. It's on the lower end of the group and has higher weight so it does form compounds. It is the only zero group element which reacts.
