Atomic Orbitals Simply Explained! Inorganic CHEM - 1.12

The course I'm teaching is a distilled version of the material covered in the following textbooks, which I highly reccommend:

This video simply explains atomic orbitals. Please note that the information in this video may not always be accurate or up-to-date due to new discoveries. There may also be overlooked mistakes. Therefore, only use this video as an additional resource to enhance your understanding.

Minor Corrections:

1. In this context, the correct spelling should be "principal" instead of "principle."
2. To clarify my previous statement about finding electrons "outside" the orbitals being highly unlikely: Orbitals are essentially infinite in size, potentially extending throughout the universe. The representations in the video illustrate roughly 90-95% of their probability distribution, indicating where electrons are most likely to be found.

Underrated channel ngl, has the really high production quality

Thank you so much for this video. You really showed with clarity how quantum numbers takes shape as orbitals. I find this part very abstract and thus difficult to imagine but now I understand. Good job, I subbed 🙏✨

I like your video as you explain orbitals in an easy to follow way :) I have a small correction, though: At 0:37 you say that finding electrons "outside" the orbitals is highly unlikely but not impossible. However, technically, all orbitals stretch out infinitely through the whole universe (with the exception of the so-called knots in the wave-function). The orbital shapes that are depicted, usually only show where the electrons are with 90% or 95% (not sure) probability.

keep it up sir, you explain it really well

THANKS MY JEE EXAM IS ON 6 VERY HELPFUL VIDEO

I don't know why, but I liked this video after watching 30sec of it

It's cool to delineate the menagerie of orbital types. But if you want to actually explain orbitals, you need to go through *why* they have those crazy shapes. It's not obvious how angular momentum leads to interlocking dumbbells, for example.

Or at least link to a video that talks about that...
