One reason HHe doesn’t work is because when you bond orbitals at different energy, the deltaE and deltaE* you get for your sigma and sigma* orbitals make it very energy deficient to fill the sigma* orbital. If you make the calculation you’d get deltaE = sH + 2 x sHe - 2 x sigma - sigma* > 0 (with s and sigma the energy of the orbitals) so a unfavorable bond. Also I kinda disagree that the quantum physics is easy and should be explained. While you can explains some concepts as you did even at high school level, to have any mathematical explanation would be pretty much impossible. This would probably lead people to make some leaps in logic that would be conter-production in the end
Thank you so much for the HHe explanation, but I do have to disagree on the quantum physics of it all. Quantum physics as a field does delve into extremely complex and advanced topics later on, but so does also every other field of science. The reason why it's important in my opinion to teach the basics of quantum mechanics is that it sheds a light on just how logical everything is in chemistry. When we try to approach single atoms like classical objects we fail, because they are bordering on quantum, and because of that a lot of people think that we do not have a concrete, logical explanation of atoms and their interactions, in reality however if, instead of classical rules, you start with quantum rules (elementary properties, wavefunction and quanta) then every single thing an atom does becomes kind of... obvious
@@Hurricayne92 Better to replace shaky foundations one by one than to start from scratch to build a skyscraper a 'few' years too late Also being forced to learn things ad hoc and replacing oversimplified explanations with classical ones then with slightly more accurate ones and then with quantum ones is partly why this education system is caca
I partly agree, however I think chemistry and physics and other concepts display a phenomena in which as complex as they can get it can be beneficial to first gain some initial contextual understanding void of more technical aspects for example, the behavior of things and reasons of occurrences. This way interest is built as well as through understanding, it's possible without being taught it by say, a teacher the student might come across it anyway so it's important for them not to be denied.
This just cemented how I felt about it. Chemistry to me is simply understanding how the world is made up and how things interact. So to me I’ve almost seen it as a skill that one can learn if they truly are interested in it. And as I learned more and more(continuing now even) I see it sorta as playing god with the elements. You learn the rules and how a game works in say Minecraft and you can sometimes build completely different games by simply modding. Similarly you learn the rules behind chemical reactions, as well as their most likely properties, and then you can then conceptualize the world in molecules and elements to some degree. When you can conceive something in molecules, you suddenly see the plant-based sugars in toilet paper(like Nile red) and then use that to make alcohol. In many ways it’s super fun to do and learn how to do projects and reactions. However it can take a lot of time to get the base understanding to begin even simple projects. Even if you find good instructions for a project, you may not understand at all how it works. If you enjoy the act of learning, and find chemistry topics interesting, keep going! Once you learn a core base of knowledge, you can start doing simpler projects and things within your ability, working up to more complex ones. If you are only learning concepts for say the 2-3 years you’re wanting to spend learning organic chem by reading or lectures it’s not very fun nor exciting. But actually doing projects and seeing the real confirmation of the concepts learned is what truly sparked that drive I have. I truly think that once you do it, you can find projects within your grasp and learn so much more by doing
@@sapio9968No not all salts are soluble. A quick Google search says no. Also if look at the solubility rules you can easily make some salts that don't dissolve.
His channel is pretty good but there a few problems that could make it more main stream. The muffled voice, bad lighting, and slow to fast sporadic timing. I agree though. I like watching him. I deal with something similar in my job. This guy can talk fast because he understands something, but to someone else you just lose them. I did this all the time for my briefings at work. You just lose people and interest. The question is what is he really trying to do with this video. Is he just talking about stuff he wants to talk about or is he trying to teach people about the things he is talking about. The way it turns out, he is just talking about things people may enjoy if they understand it. If he really wants people to understand he has to slow down and add more context to his understanding. He needs to read about public speaking and learn more about how to teach. Then he will hit the first step of being a big TH-camr. Then he needs to learn about video editing and timing and everything else that goes into making a video view well. His animations are there, it’s just the above.
imo valance is better just bc its faster to say and write. especially if your writing exam question answers because who wants to write the outer most shell that contains electrons instead of just the valance shell.
This has to be the most fascinating TH-cam Chanel I have come across.This video alone is more insightful,interesting and curiosity stoking than any chemistry class I have been in . I feel lucky to live in a time where these videos exist
@@sussyscylla3414 Any subject is cool when you take interesting bits out of the mundane details. I would say it's cool, but to appreciate that coolness, you have to digest the boring stuff too.
Around here 6:50 - 7:10 I realized why there is an extra group every 2 rows you step down, I also immediately saw the periodic table when he broke down the orbitals, man am I glad I started AP chem
I could not grasp chemistry in high school. To the point where my chemistry teacher was obsessed with me. He was just determined to teach me chemistry. He gave me one to one classes, four to one classes, made me solve tests with the bests of the class (in chemistry) and occasionally come up with different ways of explanation. I liked that teacher, but I failed chemistry that year. It was the only class I failed. He was not disappointed in me, he was disappointed in himself. I was the one kid who just could not understand chemistry. To this day, I still don't really truly understand it. It is just a shapeless, foggy concept in my mind that both looks like everything and nothing at all. Sorry MAKiT, I still can't grasp it. I appreciate your efforts, though.
In large part due to disruption from the pandemic, I ended up teaching myself a lot of my chemical engineering curriculum. The basis I used was quantum electrodynamics, and I think that was a damn good route.
Chemistry has been my favourite subject in school for a few years and I was always dissapointed when the people around me couldn't say the same. This video is a really cool way of expressing just how fantastic chemistry is as a subject beyond the way it's taught in schools. The visuals are also super impressive. Defo considering subscribing after watching this

12:09 Perhaps because the orbitals are considered to still exist even if they aren't occupied. In that way, the "outermost" shell doesn't actually change, and the valence shell is specifically the outermost _occupied_ shell
You are a master of holding attention and breaking objections at the most right moment possible! It seems as if you are reading my mind. You're gonna be big on youtube!
Chemistry undergrad here. I really liked how you presented the topics and your explanations. I feel like the animations (especially about chemical orbitals) looked a bit messy and were hard to understand. Next time try to focus on one thing at a time (i.e. instead of showing all shells and subshells and their orbitals on a 3D graph at the same time try to use animation to sort of zoom in on them). Also the arrows were very bulky at times when they didn't necessarily have to be, which took a lot of time and added complexity to the whole thing.
Trying to figure out how to use an orbital diagram is a little tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's extremely useful. Helped me get a 108.4 on my chem exam lol
That was a really clean intro to quantum and classical properties in chemistry! I feel like the deliberate over-mystification of a lot of STEM topics is a problem in modern science education and communication. And, I think that people underestimate how easy it is to learn several paradigms of thought, even on the same subject, when you're a kid. Like, I a very natural question to ask at 1:25 is "why don't electrons just collapse onto the nucleus, like a classical magnet?" And, the explanation can be just as elegant as the rest of what you presented in this video. Incidentally, if you're looking for inspiration on how to tackle that topic in a future video, I can drop you the title of one that just nails it on the path to explaining band gaps in semiconductors.
Your channel is great, you explain topics in a way that makes me grasp the true meaning. thank you ,and looking forward for another great video from you :)
I've been interested in chemistry for a couple of years and understanding things like quantum mechanics and statistics, is how I learn new concepts best, because I can connect everything much better. Incredible video!
When I was still a great A grade student, videos like this helped me to achieve such goals. A very good video I think everyone who hasn't understood these ideas in this wholistic way should consider watching, a must watch really, like what could replace it except a similar video. There are few teachers who can do something like this and non who can do at any time of the day at infinitum.
I love the video, amazing job! I guess I'm pretty lucky, because this this is exactly how chemistry was taught to me, and this is why I always found it just as clean as logical as physics and math. I never ever memorized anything at all for chemistry, and I still was always exceptional at it
I'm just sad that currently there's no chemistry subject taught in my current grade level. I am not sure if there's still chemistry in the next sem, but I really hope it 🙏
they have found helium hydride in space. it doesnt really exist anywhere else since it immediately is reduced when it comes in contact with any other atom.
We just did this section in chemistry class! Its easier now were close to the test but at first it was a bit of a struggle to keep track of the information 🥴
The answer is Thomas Aquinas and aristotelian logic. All things want to move from a state of potentiality to full actuality. Such as all persons wish to become from their potential to fully actual into perfection. Atoms and their energy levels want to do the same from potential energy, to full actualization.
As someone who hasn’t taken much chem in a long time, and has been sorta teaching myself, I wish you dwelled a little more on the link between the probability waveform of the combined atoms and the energy of the bonding orbitals. I also wished you’d clarified what you were alluding to with HeH, because I’m not sure what you were really trying to get at there. Cool visuals and otherwise interesting vid though.
In school, I absolutely hated chemistry. My mind wanted to understand the "why" & they taught "what". They never explained me why there were exceptions, how to come up with those exception's myself. I scored the lowest in chemistry because I just didn't understand it. I find quantum mechanics fascinating & maybe in the same years that I lost learning at school, I could develop a new intuition of chemistry in terms of energies. I really hope that someday I can just know exactly how to make something from sometime else.
Had to ask chat gpt...and Lexi provided! "... Quantum Tools for Modeling Ester Formation Density Functional Theory (DFT): DFT approximates Schrödinger's equation to calculate molecular properties, including reaction pathways and energetics.

Molecular Dynamics (MD): MD simulations incorporate quantum principles to model the real-time formation of esters in a dynamic environment, considering interactions with water and other molecules in the brew...."
Chemistry is easier. Just think of charged bundles of things. These things are electrons and protons but that doesn't much matter. Now imagine 2 opposite charged "bundles" coming together to balance each other. Now that's intuitive but most people forget this combined "bundle" isn't exactly neutral. It has some charge too. So it can react with other things for the same reason. This is all of chemistry in a nutshell. Physics is much much less intuitive. You, nor anyone, can explain electron spin, the double slit experiment, quantum entanglement, quantum jumps, and a million other mind boggling physical phenomenon.
It is intuitive for some and unintuitive for other. People had different kind of IQ and how intuitive something is also depend on what you know. So either you're missing some concept or visualization that ties together a lot of the theories (while being not important to understand the respective theories) or your brain aren't suited for it. And the only way to know which is if by studying more.... Sigh... I am not trying to insult btw
There's one thing that I don't understand If everything tries to lose energy, why do the electrons bond the easy way that costs less, and not do something that allows them to lose more?
16:28 Why can it turn into both? Wouldn't it just turn into Watter, because it has less energy? But really good video. I don't think I would have been interested in chemistry if you wouldn't jave ecplained it like this. Truly, thank you.
Well, just because some state has less energy that doesn't mean it will always end up as that state, a good analogy for why it can go either way would be the cubes from 19:20 Even though the lower energy means cubes on the ground, they still remain stacked after being hit There is a certain point in between them being stacked and them on the ground, where the cubes would be perfectly balanced, and could go either way (back to being a stack or on the ground). The same thing happends for the molecules
The substance isn't capable of "knowing" that one outcome is preferred, so it just randomly goes to one or the other. The portions that make it to the preferred outcome will stay there, while the rest gets to try again.
If you can’t derive it from base principles, it’s probably assumptive bullshit that nobody truly understands. And if you’ve dedicated your life to memorizing disconnected observations and their assumed mechanics, you probably wasted an opportunity to contribute to finding the underlying mechanics or truth that makes up those base principles. and when you use terminology like “the electrons choose” it betrays a weird fake understanding
The problem with a priori approach is that we don't have all information at this point. It's superior, yes, but the more fundamental and simpler the concept, the more hard it is to understand and to explain, imo. If I understood you right, you critique Makit. Remember, that he doesn't have any background in chem. As far as I can guess, he animated and notated college level general chem textbook.
@@thepirate6521the physical inspires the mathematical and the mathematical explains the physical “physics” as a scientific field was born from mathematics, but observation of physical phenomena inspired the creation of mathematics. really though, both were preceded by philosophy because simply observing physical phenomena does not amount to practicing physics, and ya kind of have to philosophise about physical things (e.g. democritus; pythagoras) to get mathematics out of them to explain them
@@xavierbroe5569 Dont you think is better to say that math is just better description of physical observations than natural language? I dont think math explains anything because first we need to do observation, understand it and then we can start mathing around
Ngl i clicked on this video and when i watched it i thought it would at least have 1-2 million views but was surprised to see such low views. Pls keep making videos imo you will be the next big science educator on youtube. Also what do you use to make your animations, they are really really good..
I think the reason chemistry is taught like it is, is because the "rules" of chemistry were discovered long before the underlying quantum mechanics were and you don't NEED quantum mechanics to do chemistry so they just left it the way it is and there will be people who won't want to learn any quantum mechanics. I suppose if someone wanted to learn from the ground so to speak... There could be a course set designed in that way.
Chemesty shuld realy be thought like this in class i always askd why and nver got a real awnser just thats just how it is or thats too complicated to explane right now, thank you
One reason HHe doesn’t work is because when you bond orbitals at different energy, the deltaE and deltaE* you get for your sigma and sigma* orbitals make it very energy deficient to fill the sigma* orbital.

Such as all persons wish to become from their potential to fully actual into perfection. Atoms and their energy levels want to do the same from potential energy, to full actualization.
Pro tip. Press share, then copy link, and don't share it (unless you want to). This helps the algorithm pick up this video more
As someone who hasn’t taken much chem in a long time, and has been sorta teaching myself, I wish you dwelled a little more on the link between the probability waveform of the combined atoms and the energy of the bonding orbitals. I also wished you’d clarified what you were alluding to with HeH, because I’m not sure what you were really trying to get at there. Cool visuals and otherwise interesting vid though.
In school, I absolutely hated chemistry. My mind wanted to understand the "why" & they taught "what". They never explained me why there were exceptions, how to come up with those exception's myself. I scored the lowest in chemistry because I just didn't understand it. I find quantum mechanics fascinating & maybe in the same years that I lost learning at school, I could develop a new intuition of chemistry in terms of energies. I really hope that someday I can just know exactly how to make something from sometime else.
Had to ask chat gpt...and Lexi provided!
"...
Quantum Tools for Modeling Ester Formation
Density Functional Theory (DFT):
DFT approximates Schrödinger's equation to calculate molecular properties, including reaction pathways and energetics.
Breweries or researchers could use DFT to predict how adjusting fermentation parameters (e.g., yeast strain, temperature) affects ester production.
Molecular Dynamics (MD):
MD simulations incorporate quantum principles to model the real-time formation of esters in a dynamic environment, considering interactions with water and other molecules in the brew...."
At the heart of chemistry there's reactions, but there's a lot more chemistry than just reactions.
Chemistry might be very interesting, but the laws don't seem so intuitive as math and physics. Wish I had a good Chemistry 101 book
Chemistry is easier. Just think of charged bundles of things. These things are electrons and protons but that doesn't much matter. Now imagine 2 opposite charged "bundles" coming together to balance each other. Now that's intuitive but most people forget this combined "bundle" isn't exactly neutral. It has some charge too. So it can react with other things for the same reason. This is all of chemistry in a nutshell.
Physics is much much less intuitive. You, nor anyone, can explain electron spin, the double slit experiment, quantum entanglement, quantum jumps, and a million other mind boggling physical phenomenon.
It is intuitive for some and unintuitive for other. People had different kind of IQ and how intuitive something is also depend on what you know.
So either you're missing some concept or visualization that ties together a lot of the theories (while being not important to understand the respective theories) or your brain aren't suited for it. And the only way to know which is if by studying more.... Sigh... I am not trying to insult btw

How did you manage to make yourself animate like an irl gmod character? That's p cool
Great vid dude! Subbed
14:30 hello, I’ve never taken Chem in my whole life so this might be stupid but, does this mean that unstable bonds have higher potential energy?
It's not stupid, and you are correct
That's where chemical energy comes from, the more unstable something is, the higher the potential energy
@ thank you so much! I am taking Chem next year for school so you’ll probably get some more views from me next year!
Babe wake up makit Just uploaded
7:55 I wish I had this video when I was in 11th grade to understand it better
I love your videos :)
The fire just kept me stressed out the entire video lol
Dimotro from Combo Class, is that you?
There's one thing that I don't understand
If everything tries to lose energy, why do the electrons bond the easy way that costs less, and not do something that allows them to lose more?
because he explains it poorly
10:37 Let's thank quantum physics & the guy who made graphs for making me understand everything in one go.
16:28 Why can it turn into both? Wouldn't it just turn into Watter, because it has less energy?
But really good video. I don't think I would have been interested in chemistry if you wouldn't jave ecplained it like this.
Truly, thank you.
Well, just because some state has less energy that doesn't mean it will always end up as that state, a good analogy for why it can go either way would be the cubes from 19:20
Even though the lower energy means cubes on the ground, they still remain stacked after being hit
There is a certain point in between them being stacked and them on the ground, where the cubes would be perfectly balanced, and could go either way (back to being a stack or on the ground). The same thing happends for the molecules
The substance isn't capable of "knowing" that one outcome is preferred, so it just randomly goes to one or the other. The portions that make it to the preferred outcome will stay there, while the rest gets to try again.
babe cancel school, makIt uploaded!
If you can’t derive it from base principles, it’s probably assumptive bullshit that nobody truly understands. And if you’ve dedicated your life to memorizing disconnected observations and their assumed mechanics, you probably wasted an opportunity to contribute to finding the underlying mechanics or truth that makes up those base principles.
and when you use terminology like “the electrons choose” it betrays a weird fake understanding
The problem with a priori approach is that we don't have all information at this point. It's superior, yes, but the more fundamental and simpler the concept, the more hard it is to understand and to explain, imo.
If I understood you right, you critique Makit. Remember, that he doesn't have any background in chem. As far as I can guess, he animated and notated college level general chem textbook.
Chemistry is just applied physics
Physics is just applied maths
@@K.Parth_Singh maths origins from physics actually. Math without physics is just useless abstraction.
@@thepirate6521the physical inspires the mathematical and the mathematical explains the physical
“physics” as a scientific field was born from mathematics, but observation of physical phenomena inspired the creation of mathematics. really though, both were preceded by philosophy because simply observing physical phenomena does not amount to practicing physics, and ya kind of have to philosophise about physical things (e.g. democritus; pythagoras) to get mathematics out of them to explain them
math without physics is beautiful abstraction
@@xavierbroe5569 Dont you think is better to say that math is just better description of physical observations than natural language? I dont think math explains anything because first we need to do observation, understand it and then we can start mathing around
Ngl i clicked on this video and when i watched it i thought it would at least have 1-2 million views but was surprised to see such low views. Pls keep making videos imo you will be the next big science educator on youtube. Also what do you use to make your animations, they are really really good..
I use blender
@MAKiTHappen thanks 😁
yo w video ur underrated
I can't believe I havent subscribed to your channel already
Great you are growing
I love your videos!
Quantum mechanics, love thi video so far, 'twas easy enough to understand and cannot wait for quantum mechanics video
I think the reason chemistry is taught like it is, is because the "rules" of chemistry were discovered long before the underlying quantum mechanics were and you don't NEED quantum mechanics to do chemistry so they just left it the way it is and there will be people who won't want to learn any quantum mechanics. I suppose if someone wanted to learn from the ground so to speak... There could be a course set designed in that way.
15:59 T&C omg im gonna die lmao
To be fair sometimes maths helps understand something better than analogy and what not
I knew all of this but damn they should've taught like this
Chemesty shuld realy be thought like this in class i always askd why and nver got a real awnser just thats just how it is or thats too complicated to explane right now, thank you
Him: by itself quantum mechanics isnt very diffivult.....
