Chemistry 101: Shells, Subshells, and Atomic Orbitals

So many terms to learn! So what's the difference between shells, subshells, and orbitals?

As a Chemistry teacher, I'm stealing the neighborhood analogy (s-subshell is a tiny little 1 bedroom house, etc.). Thank you for that.

Very nice. I always enjoyed chemistry classes at my High School and Community College. Probably because I had good chemistry teachers. It takes a certain type of personality and interest in the subject to be able to teach it well, and you do a good job 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you, now my concepts are crystal clear

[ayline]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. VERY WELL EXPLAINED

Your voice does blend nicely with the background music. Thumbs up for that. And the amazing video too. So double thumbs up. As in with both hands. 👍👍

My background in Chemistry is basically non-existing but I've always been good in picking things up and with your videos and explenations, that's been going pretty well! Keep it up Katie :)

Thank you for the quick and efficient lesson! I needed a refresher on orbitals and this helped :P

This is also taught as part of my Alevel physics course well part of this was. Great video as usual!!!

not bad but at t=3:37 the higher orbitals are higher in energy needing less energy to escape not more. The ground state is lower in energy, it's magnitude is greater however, needing more energy to escape, i.e. x-rays are concerned with these core electrons falling back to even lower energies, I think, (higher magnitudes) to produce very high energy :)

Honestly I wish I paid more attention to the heavier chemistry stuff because it can help explain alot of things just in general life. Well you can make educated guesses anyway. Avagadros number! 👍🏻

3:48 ohh my god u are so cute....😍
Thanks for the concepts...

[marcomizzoni]

What is your major in? Great video super easy to conceptualize a difficult subject, or at least it seems that way at the start.👍🏼💯

[harshitpalsingh]

U looking so cute and ur explantion are good with animation 😊😊

[clavisjanes]

I legitimately learned something from this video. However, perhaps cut back on redundant build up prior to getting into the topic.

She sells seasubshells on the seasubshore.

[marcellusharris]

when are those physics videos coming out though ;-)

[azioprism]

just think about starting twitch instead, youtube is so crowded these days.

[sdeep]

Your expaination is awesome ..🤣🤣🤣 from India...,

my very early mother just bought us nine potatoes

[nicosmind]

Wait. I thought you were American. Now I'm thinking Irish. Where are you from exactly?
