    It's been 4 years since a lot of you guys watched this video to learn a thing or two. Meaning, you guys have since graduated and most likely moved into the cooperate world at the moment. I hope you have a blessed life with your families. We're right behind as well. And thank you khan academy for being a blessing to soo many of us. Thank you!

      most professors are in actual fact hired as researchers, meaning their core function at the university is to do research, not to teach. my point is, Being good teachers is not their priority; their priority is to produce quality research papers, because universities aren't ranked according to the marks of students. They are ranked according to the most amount of quality research published.

    If you have question,use their website,link is in the description,there you'll see a list of there videos, click on the one you want, if it's not already highlighted ,then scroll down to the bottom of the page,it might sometimes take a bit to show up.there they have a conversation section, where there is a whole lot of answers to questions related to that specific video.
    There you could also signin and ask a question for yourselves. It's great really.As far as I know khan academy don't answer questions on TH-cam's comment sections,they have integrated TH-cam to their website,I think they use it as a way of getting revenue.There is MORE info about who they are(a non profit organization) and what they offer(free education) in the description.

    is it right to say VE in bonded atom?i believe since the electrons are shared, the electrons shared between one bond plus the lone pair(s) should be all considered VE? isn't better to describe it as formal charge=VE in free atom - lone pair - 1/2shared electron, it may look more complicated tho.

    • @josephsherby
      @josephsherby 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      You might already know this by now because it’s been two years, but we know the hydrogen’s are attached to the oxygen because they will dissociate in water, so they must easily break off. It’s how all acids are, I believe.

    but in our books the formula is no.valence electron -no of unshared electrons -1/2the no of shared electrons . like if we use your formula we will get same ans in every case?

  • @alissajeanfreau7741
    @alissajeanfreau7741 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why does it matter to move around the structure when the overall formal charge was already 0 because the Sulfur was +2 and the two Oxygen's were -1. 2 -1 -1 = 0. Please explain

  • @Gooners0710
    @Gooners0710 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    • @seanhartwick2243
      @seanhartwick2243 8 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Fireblaze 1998 The reason to calculate formal charge is to see which structure you would actually find in the real world. Real world structures are as close to a formal charge of zero as possible.

    @coolmanmomo12345 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    my techer said the formal charge is the number of valance electrons for the molecule minus the number of bonds with the molecules minus the number of unpaired electrons
    I have checked using this method and got same results. but might there be an exception or something?

    someone pls, why need to minimize formal charge of central atom?

    • @baha17222
      @baha17222 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Angelo Valdez the formal charge is related to the energy level of the structure. Lone pairs have higher energy level than bonded pairs so the oxygens formed a double bond. The effect of this change is minimizing the formal charge. So when drawing a structure the one with the least formal charge is probably the most accurate one because it has the least energy and is the most stable

    How is nitrogen in group 5 ?
    i thought it was 15?

    • @albadadkola3301
      @albadadkola3301 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      its atomic no is 15
      so arranging umm its k shell has 2 e L shell has 5 e and its outermost/valence M shell has 5 e , the group no. represents the no of valence e therefore N is in grp 5

      it's atomic number is 7 and and it is in group 15 which is also known as V-A(5). And by the way you're right . Naruchi Uzumaki has explained it. But he/she is wrong about atomic number

      TH-cam link:- th-cam.com/video/Kv5y3t9jsi4/w-d-xo.html
      The 7 electrons for oxygen or the 4 electrons for sulfur are actually not the valency electron, ever thing is explained in the videos.

    this is wrong, the oxygens have to be more electronegative then the sulfer.

    • @sonnajensen4824
      @sonnajensen4824 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why? The least electronegative atom always, or at least almost always, belongs in the center of the molecular structure. Sulfer is less electronegative than oxygen.
