Ionic Bonding Part 2

To see all my Chemistry videos, check out

We'll look at the details of ionic bonding, using sodium chloride as an example. Both atoms have unfilled valence shells, which are the outermost energy level. Electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, creating ions with an opposite charge. The atoms are then held together because of the attraction between the opposite charges.

Why can't schools be filled with teachers like you....

This guy's enthusiasm for chemistry is actually contagious- I'm actually looking forward to watching more videos about... chemistry!

I'm going to make a video on this topic very soon, but the short answer is that the electrons always go to the nonmetal. Nonmetals are very greedy, and they're able to steal electrons away from metals. So in ionic bonding, nonmetals always become negative because they steal electrons, and metals always become positive, because they give away electrons.

You know that "Ooooh okay" feeling you get when you finally understand something? Well that's me after watching your videos! Thank you so much!!

I swear I learn more from these videos then I do from my chemistry teacher.

If my chemistry professor had took his time to explain things the way you do, i would've gotten an a+ in his class. Unfortunately not everyone knows how to teach properly, hats off to you sir.

This man is my favorite teacher of all time. The amount of work and enthusiasm he puts in every single one of his videos is incredible

"So pissed off" 😂 love this guy, better than my actual chemistry teacher

Chemistry has never been this interesting and clear! This guy is an amazing teacher.

Dislikes are from school chemistry teachers

[eddiesanders]

Excellent presentation, of what many individuals tend to complicate. Tyler delivers phenomenal pedagogical skill with playful style...Great Job!

[kaishahadzami]

This man deserves an honor for helping almost a mllion people to understand about the chemistry.Even he explain the complicated things with the most easiest way to understand without missing something.I hope my school has a teacher like him

[Montesmom]

you are saving my life on my chem final. thank you so much for posting these. you explain things so much better than my professor. honestly have saved my chem grade. couldnt thank you enough

[steptoeedwall]

At first I wasn't sure about your presentation, both sets of hands were moving around a lot and distracting me. But now I really like it! The way you explain things and the way you designed your visuals are very original and effective. Thanks so much for the help!

[rokayaboucherabine]

omgggg such an amazing teacher!!!! literally better than my teacher, i did not understand anything from her, but just now, i finally thanks!!!

[maddhousewife]

I swear, if I pass my organic chem class I am donating to this guy so should everyone else who benefits from his expertise. Tyler, you speak my language. Thank you!

You deserve a nobel prize for your videos. Seriously. I'm in my 40s and I struggled in chemistry when I was in high school but I certainly wouldn't have if I could have watched your videos. Now, my six year old son who is in grade 1 watches your videos and understands them clearly!!! Thank you for being so awesome! Teachers all over the world could learn from you!

Kung ganito sana mag explain ang mga teacher sa school, students are more likely to enjoy, appreciate and retain what they will learn. Thank you very much Tyler for sharing these vids in You Tube, excellent job !

This guy made me understand everything in 10 minutes than my chemistry teacher teaching in 2-3 weeks..!!
The previous videos were too awesome!
THANK-YOU
