ALEKS: Understanding the definitions of ionization energy and electron affinity

[MrPewPews]

Once again, massive W. You are clutching up for my intro chem series in college. I feel much more confident about the material now thank you so much.

Also get used to me commenting because I am gonna be saying thank you a lot as I keep watching your videos. I just want you to know you are making a huge impact for students like me.

I was intimidated by all the words and numbers but you broke it down, explained every term we needed. 10/10

why are you literally the unsung hero of genchem I was stuck on this for so long but you made it so simple oh my goodness tysm!

[crneymar]

Roxi, you are a goddess. I'm almost done with chemistry and I won't lie I will never use any of this information again in my life or for computer science but thank you for making it more bearable.

Thank you so much for the help, I have probably seen hundreds of ur ALEKS walkthroughs. I am finally finishing chem and wanted to say thanks properly!

[lilianasloan]

You save me so much time and help me understand everything much better and more efficiently, thank you so much

[carriem]

i had no idea how to do this problem and you saved me! thank you! just so you know I got a question where you weren't able to know the energy value because it was the second ionization energy.

Hi I'm doing this problem right now and the part you said is always yes was wrong for the problem I am on. One of the answers it gave me was that it was not possible to calculate the amount of energy absorbed? Are there certain circumstances where it may not be possible? Thanks

Roxi, you're an Icon. This is my 2nd chemistry college class, and you've had videos for every topic. Thank you so much, and hopefully you'll have videos for gen chem 2, which I'll be taking soon.

[VsroYT]

These explanations have been amazing, thank you so much!

[arielvelazquez]

Hi Roxi, there is another tricky variation of this. I got a version in which the electron affinity of Mn is 0 KJ/mol, so, does it absorb, release energy, or can't decide? This is ridiculous, since in real life the EA of Mn is not 0

[rashadennin]

I got one with the answer "no"

Hi Roxi! Excellent explanation (as Always)!! Would you be able to do a video for understanding the exceptional electron configurations in the first transition series? I've been stuck on it and ALEKS explanations are utterly useless!! 😕

I really appreciate you. Thanks a lot.
