Look here! TH-cam is deleting all annotations, which I have used in the past to make corrections, so I want to make sure everyone knows that at 0:16, 1:58, 2:12, and 2:40, I say "molecular orbitals" but I meant "hybrid atomic orbitals". Also, for the molecular orbital diagram for N2, the pi 2p bonding orbitals should be below the sigma 2p bonding orbital due to s-p mixing. These are major errors so please make the correction in your head, sorry! I've been much more careful about triple checking my work since these early videos, I promise. UPDATE! This new video about MO theory is much clearer, please watch the new one immediately after this one to get some clarity: th-cam.com/video/I2k61JMk71M/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for great explanation and care for delivering accurate information . But I have an enquiry about molecular orbitals ... Molecular orbital theory assumes that number of atomic orbitals = number of molecular orbitals , for example in case of formation of H2 molecule there is two atomic orbitals that formed one molecular orbital ( the bonding orbital) , but I can not understand how the other(anti bonding ) orbital is formed .. can you explain it please !
Check out my classical physics tutorials on wave mechanics, the bonding orbital is the result of constructive interference and the antibonding is the result of destructive interference!
I used to have an average of 70-80 percent on chem tests. I watched your series for the last test unit (vespr/bonds/shapes/etc..) and got a 98.6%. I couldn't thank you enough for your precise, easy to understand videos. Real heroes don't always wear capes, just beards.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Absolutely awesome videos !! Though I'm still at junior highschool, It's easy for me to understand these collage stuffs after watching your video. Thanks for uploading so many nice videos !!!
Khan Academy's video on sp3 and sp2 orbitals greatly helped me understand the content covered in this tutorial. This tutorial is more of a refresher to solidify your knowledge, so I would definitely recommend watching Khan Academy's video before this one.
bro every single unit in highschool no matter what AP i always understood after watching a vid orgo chem tutor or prof dave. Never in my life have I expected something to be so confused I wouldnt even get it after asking a chem national winner and a yt vid. If you understand how the antibonding thing works for H2 please lemme know. I get it if there are 2 electrons from each like 1s2... sure one from each go to the sigma and "sigma star" whatever that is. But with h2 there are ONLY 2 ELECTRONS. HOW TF DO YOU FORM 2 DIFFERENT ORBITALS??? is this schrodinger's cat??????

It's amazing that Professor Dave explains this in 7 minutes and gets me understood while my professor discussed mo for 20 minutes and still confused half of class.
Dear Dr. Dave. Thank you for your great lessons. I've learned a lot from your series. This part is very hard and I need to watch this video many times to realize what happened to orbitals when their bond into a molecular form.
You really work very hard and that's why I am your very big fan. Replying to all questions in all videos and after 2 or 3 hours. Hats off to you sir!!!!
So ive been watching all your chem videos today because i have an exam tomorrow.And keep singing your intro music to everyone.i think its gonna be my ringtune now.
Hey Professor, thanks for all the vids! You just helped me save many hours annotating my textbook meticulously to make sure I have the important concepts down. Especially that one vid with Quantum Numbers. Entire weeks of knowledge summed up in a few mins...
I've been so scared of chemistry all semester long until I found this channel kinda by accident. Just wanted to know something about the molecular geometry of one molecule and BAM, basicly a video to every topic I have to understand for my exam. Thank you so much, Dave!
great conversation stopper (let's talk molecular orbital ) guaranteed to clear the room. the good news , anyone left standing well worth finding out what plannet their from. live long and prosper. great video. thanks.
+cheers another big plus in knowing this shit ,make us look bit smarter than we are,caution that can bring a whole lot more shit down on our heads. kind regards Aisha Mohamud
I completely fell off the train for this topic and after watching this I'm feeling very confident in my ability to do this on my exam tomorrow. Thanks for the help and wish me luck!
@@rayyan3253 I came from the future to tell you that this came out to be a VERY important topic in chemistry. I'm in a faculty of Pharmacy now, 1st year, and we still learn about these topics as basics. Wish you luck 🤞
you are pretty great. although i got A's in two semesters of college gen chem and two semesters of organic chem, this was a concept i opted to simply recognize patterns for, and/or general info to answer multiple choice questions for... but never truly "got it" until now. so thanks! love your videos!
Great video professor Dave. I just wanted to mention that not every energy level has s,p and d orbitals. Level one has one 1 s. Level two has one s and 3 p it is starting on the level 3 that d orbitals are present. I took chemistry a long time ago. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for putting in the work to get these great video together.
nope you're absolutely right! i just spoke very generally to give people the foundation, and then when we run through the different energy levels they can see the specific orbitals present for each.
I am going broke paying for my college, where I get lectured to by awful teachers. After I get off work (I have a job to help pay for my college), I go home to try and decipher what the teacher talked about that day. When I can't figure it out, I watch an 8-minute video, like this, that explains very well what my teacher failed to teach me in an hour. congratulations sir, you are making everything I do POINTLESS.
wow,what a simple and easy explanation . I JUST LOVE TO WATCH YOUR CHEMISTRY EXPLANATION VIDEO " MR.DAVE". DO MORE AND MORE VIDEOS TO HELP THE STUDENTS TO MAKE THEIR CONCEPTS EASIER AND FOR THEIR BETTER UNDERSTANDING. "ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU"
woah, thank you sir! this is the first time i really got this, my prof previously was talking too fast that i wasn't able to catch his trail of thought, now i understand it completely thanks!
eh, i made an error referring to hybrid atomic orbitals as molecular orbitals, tried to fix it with annotations but it's egregious enough to merit a dislike.
Professor Dave Explains At least you tried fixing it , and even If you didn't , It was clear that you meant to say hybrid atomic orbitals , but haters will always hate I guess
in reality, the orbitals on CH4 are NOT degenerate, and one of the reasons is because hybridisation is strictly a mathematical concept, if you actually perfect photoionization spectroscopy on CH4, you will find 3 bonding orbitals higher in energy than the lowest energy bonding orbital. hybridisation is just an outdated model sadly, it works for carbon as far as predicting shapes (in organic compounds) but try using this model for anything else (and i really mean ANYTHING else) and it falls apart.
Nitrogen is going to have sigma - pi crossover, because of the unpaired electrons in the 2p subshell. So the sigma 2p is going to be higher in energy than pi 2p. Thanks for the effort you put in the making of you videos, keep up the good work :)
Back when I was in high school, I saw lot of people complaining about their prof. remember thinking how bad could a prof's lesson be....Now that I am in college, I finally understand what they're like.
Hi Dave, not sure if anyone has pointed it out already, but your MO ordering is incorrect for N2 near the end of the video. For Li2 to N2 homonuclear diatomic molecules, the ordering of the sigma (2p) and pi (2p) switches due to s-p orbital mixing. Otherwise, nice video.
I'm a bit confused on why we have the arrangement that we do for the P orbitals. why do we have one sigma bond then 2pi bonds and then 2 pi bonds and then another sigma bond? why is it more than one type of bond unlike with the 1S and 2S orbitals?
update! i will be releasing a new MO theory video in a couple weeks that goes over the basics again as well as s-p mixing which will clarify this specific concept. stay tuned!
