14.2/S2.2 .16 Lewis, hybridization (sp3,sp2,sp) , shapes and angles [HL IB Chemistry]

Identify and explain the relationships between Lewis structures, molecular shapes and types of hybridization (sp, sp2 and sp3). If your teacher taught that single bonds means sp3, double means sp2 and triple is sp, break the news that they are wrong!
4 charge centers = sp3, 109.5 / 107 / 105 degree bond angles, 4 sigma
3 charge centers = sp2, 120 degree bond angle, 3 sigma, 1 pi (normally)
2 charge centers = sp, 180 degree bond angle, 2 sigma, 2 pi

you have no idea how helpful this is Mr thornley!!

[muhammedvally]

You are such a legend! The best, most logical and most simple explanation I have come across. Thank you!

Wow.... i just learned more chemistry in 3 minutes than I have in my entire gen chem class. Thank you so much

NH3 is sp3, as is the NH2 bonded to C. Nitrogen is group 5 and has five valence electrons and then 3 covalent bonds brings that up to 8 valence electrons = 4 pairs.
1 pair to H, 1 pair to H, 1 pair to C and one lone pair = 4 charge centers = sp3

I did the IB program last year and i still watch these videos in my university years. Richard thornley. you are the hero we need.

I've had 3 difference professors teach hybridization and this is the first time I felt like I really clearly understood. Thank you so much!

[southpark]

I'm ready for my IB HL Chem quiz because of this! Thank you!

[sidra]

Can’t believe it! I’ve understood it in less than 3 minutes! Thank you Mr Thornley 😊😊

BEST DAMN VIDEO ON YOUR TUBE EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENCE

[matthewstegall]

This is easily the most clear explanation I have seen, thank you

[LunaCE]

Thank you sooo much! It make sense how easily the teacher tells the hyb. from the structures

[soumyasharma]

Excellent Mr. Thornley!! Best Chemistry Teacher!!! WOW!

[karenbeard]

Wow thank you!! I have watched so many videos and read so many books onto of all my Thanks to you, I finally get it, just in time for my test tomorrow! :) :) :)

[meritafjetland]

You have helped me SO much! i am so greatful, thank you sooo much. :D All my friends in the IB taking chemistry just love your videos!

[tamiltips]

u r the best chem teacher woderful and

[mikaexploring]

This was soooo helpful!!! And the easiest to understand.. Thank you soo much sir!!

[malleswarababu]

THANKS SIR I HAVE UNDERSTOOD IN VERY LESS TIME THANKS U SO MUCH SIR

[rodhasmana]

hi, this video was amazing but just wondering, is a charge centre the same as an electron domain? thank you so much!!

[ibchemvids]

The position is not important but traditionally try to spread out the most repulsive (or the largest) parts of a molecule/atom.

[catherinedavis]

amazing thanks helped so much for my test tomorrow
