Electron Configuration of Atoms + Shortcut Tutorial Video

This video discusses the size and shapes of atomic orbitals, focusing on the s orbital and p orbital, including sub-orbitals and the number of electrons.

The Intro to Orgo series is designed to help incoming organic chemistry students refresh the concepts learned, and perhaps forgotten, from general chemistry.
In this 14 part series I will cover all the basics to help you build a very solid foundation that will help you understand the exciting yet difficult topic that is organic chemistry

Way better than my chemistry teacher any day

[NicolasLopez-gyrg]

thank you a lot i finally understand, my teacher didn't explain it that well

[deeimpossible]

If my lecturer had explained this topic like this, I wouldn't be so stressed out about this semester. Finally the periodic table has some sort of meaning to me. You're a god send!

[okayokay]

BRUH this is so much better than my teacher i literally thought it was the hardest thing until i watched this video

[crystalgolden-perri]

You are heaven sent!!! I just got a 38 on my 3rd chemistry exam, because I did not understand this. No matter what the Prof said; no matter how many you tube videos I've watched...it just wasn't registering until NOW!! I still have my final to redeem myself and then this horrible grade will be dropped! Thank you!!!

[sabrinasnigdha]

Very helpful way to understand a complicated subject like chemistry. Thank you so much !!! this video saved my life, I tried every possible way to understand electron configuration, spent hours after this but this 6 minutes video made everything crystal clear.

[candor]

Finally! Someone broke this down in a way I can understand. Thank You.

[jamesmaldonado]

You are my savior.My teacher tried explaining it for 45 minutes and nobody understood a single word.Thanks to this brilliant video!!

[caitlin]

omg my chem teacher literally only showed us which areas on the table were s, d, p or f but didn't even explain how to use it. This makes so much sense now thank you

[annamalous]

This is the technique my CHE 101 class is using, but I missed class the day it was covered. This is the most simple explanation I've seen online since I've been looking for the past half hour or so. Thank you very much!

[raed]

Perfect simple and helpful, I watched a thousand video and the speakers were annoying and not helpful just trying to show how much knowledge they got!
Thank you for keeping it simple

[jaredshapiro]

Thank you so much! I missed one day of school, and my chem teacher said "You're an honors student, figure it out yourself". You helped so much.

[anr]

You are awesome, I'm taking college chemistry and my teacher is horrible. She butcher this topic and let everyone confused. I have been teaching myself with YouTube videos. thank you for this video.

[Joexawy]

GOSH THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! MY PROFESSOR SPENT MORE THAN 2 HOURS TO TRY TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME (I ABSOLUTELY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE WORD) AND IT JUST TOOK ME 6 MINUTES VIDEO BY YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE ELECTRON CONFIGURATION, YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! *.*

[kaitybug]

OH MY AFTER TWO WEEKS OF TRYING I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THANK YOU

[whatthehec]

Thanks for this video. I was grasping it a tiny bit in class but you definitely cleared a lot of things up. Also thank you for marking the each element out to show us how many we had to count over and down. That definitely helped a lot.

[Lexyvil]

Best explanation I've seen on that subject!

[sinekonata]

Awesome method : More than 10 years later I understand, without any effort, what my teacher failed to instruct me for weeks. Not that I made any effort back then either but that's how education should be : effortless :D

[davidkalume]

OMG I knew it. I knew there's must be a way to figure out these stuff. You are amazing Leah. Thanks a lot!

[haleybm]

I've been trying to learn this for years, and I just learned it in 6 minutes. Thank you!!
