POV: u have a test about polymers 🤦‍♂️💀

[FahimusAlimus]

Everyone is here because they have a test on polymers. I’m here because I have to teach it 😭.

[bavitra]

Pls do more on the organic topic so helpful xx 🙏🏽

Again, another great video.
Summarises everything and I’ve learnt 3/4 of my end of year exam that I am meant to sit tomorrow.
Keep up with the amazing videos I am so glad to have found you!

Again u never let me down now I gonna pass am chem test thank u for ur amazing work

[durjam]

Have you done one on polymer condensation and addition?

[saadiakhan]

Will you start uploading for A Levels sciences as well?

[bhargavamondeti]

ur videos all ways show up when I search something up lul this is mazing

[muhammadammar]

Thank you for such a great explanation

[fatemaabedin]

Also, have you covered anything like the cracking crude oil or hydrocarbons

[nellmorrey]

Could you extend theses videos to a level material. These videos are the best things to revise from ever

[xtranafuzz]

I had a class explaining this for an hour and I didn't understand anything about it.
Ur video made my brain open in 3 mins LOL... Tq

Why do we use a (Cl — Cl) “—“ notation for covalent bonds but not a notation for ionic bonds? Like instead of NaCl it’d be: (Na+-Cl)?

[paulcris]

when we watch your videos what else can we do to get them 9s in science

[karolinalepiarz]

Thank you - this video has really helped me!!! :-)

[booyah]

hey, can you tell me if if you would always put n even if you know the number of times it repeats. thanks

[trrjbwk]

Hey Cognito
You might have noticed me a lot in your comments now, it's a fact that I am using your videos to make my own notes, can you please exaggerate the types of additional and condensation polymers.
If not a video, comment would work too.
I like your video, great work.
