    Don't make these common mistakes with VSEPR! We'll talking about how to determine the shape or geometry of a molecule using the VSEPR rules, for valence shell electron pair repulsion. Unshared electron pairs (also known as lone pairs) are very important for determining geometry, and we'll look at the following shapes: tetrahedral, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, linear, and bent.

    This guy is gold. He should go and give a lecture to all the teacher on how to teach.

    My Chem lab teacher talked about this in class for 2 full hours using balloons. Everyone was so lost. He never even mentioned that the lone electron pairs is what pushes and creates the bent shape. He just kept repeating the words shape families and subclasses. I couldn't figure out how a triginalplaner could be a family AND a subclass. Just using the words "Based on because a molecule is not there" made it CAKE! I know it 100% now thanks!!!

    you are the one who deserves the credit for my good score in chemistry. I didn't understood vsepr until I watched your video, I've also watched your redox videos. Once more I'm very very thankful of you, you are one of the best teacher in world.
    Lately I've been having a hard time solving problems related to hybridization and dipole moment, would you please make a video on those topics too?

  • @Muhammad_saad5
    @Muhammad_saad5 2 месяца назад +1

    This teacher takes so much effort for making us understand the topics using analogy, shapes and life example as if like we are children to learn these topics. And that’s very rare too see around from the teachers nowadays. This just shows how valuable Tyler is, he is worth more than a noble prize helping other students to fully understand difficult topics as if like none else can even come close. ❤❤ Keep it up!
