Determining Shapes of Molecules-VSEPR (Part 1)

This video discusses the shapes associated with different molecules that students will use in their chemistry course. Shapes include linear, bent (angular), trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, seesaw, t-shaped, octahedral, square pyramid and square planar.
Part 1- Determining Shapes of Molecules
Part 2- Determining Hybridization of an atom
Part 3- Bond Angles in molecules

OMG, you did in 7 minutes what my teacher could not do for an entire year, thanks so much!!

[wolfy]

thank you for making your 3-5 min videos much more useful than my 55 min class...i learned twice as much in the short period of time.

[thugricanz]

Videos like that helped me a lot. I was so lost in class, I couldn't understand ANYTHING. I started watching videos and now I understand. I think this one is the best one to learn Determining Shapes of Molecules-VSEPR

[lillyshanahan]

Thank you so much for posting these helpful videos. The material just CLICKS in my head when you explain it! It is has been unbelievably valuable to me this semester. Thanks again!!! 

[SuperUnstoppable]

this really helped. my teacher and textbook made it more complex. yours were straightforward

[murphboys]

This helped me so much, most of the other videos try to explain it in such a fun and time wasting way with pop culture refrences and stuff, thanks for just going straight to the meat and potatoes.

best video for study chemistry. Thank you so much. I am quite sure I have sort of discerning taste of video lecture. And this is the best. Your voice is nice, nice explanation, and both concise and precise in right timing! Thank you 

[builtonstruggle]

you explain things so well. i really wish you were my professor instead of the chemistry professor i have. your videos and examples have helped me so much this semester

[lmTheDudeMan]

YES! That's a lovely drawing! Love you man! XD

[jakeisrael]

S/O to MRS..ALTON for making us come here :p

[SHINDTV]

very well done and explained, quick and simple just perfect.

[Imitaton]

you explain this better in 6 minutes than my 2 hour college class.

[thugricanz]

I think we just have to focus on Linear, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramid, and tretahedral. We haven't done any practice with an answer like Trigonal bipyramid, etc.

[BeYouBeauty]

This was so so helpful!! It seems extremely simple now! Thank you(:

[hcassells]

Thank you so much for this video.your explanation was so good even though I'm doing uk A-levels .thank you so much this is really hard to get! :D

[Dosvutheam]

thx u, , , this really helpful. I got it in a minute.

[AndrewJames]

what affect does charge of the ion have on its shape? for example BF4- (Boron Tetrafluoride with a single negative charge on the F)??

[nicolajames]

is the AX2E2 example correct? I thought the lone pairs would distribute symmetrically above and below the plane of the bonding pairs, hence making the molecule linear not bent??/

[SmuggleFox]

at 5:02, is the dots supposed to be circled?

[danielafolabi]

I know it is 4 years ago but thanks a lot everytime I encounter problem I come here
