We actually have a chemistry teacher (His name is irrelevant, as we all call him Mr. White) and bro knows how to keep us listening. Very clear and most of the time leaning in a way to also cover topics we are interested in that correlate with the unit
This video is the epitome of what a tutorial should be...concise, informative, and easy to understand. Having practically zero knowledge of chemistry, I feel like I learned more in 8 minutes than I probably would have in 8 hours of regular classroom study. Good Job and thanks for sharing!
So amazing. I loathed chemistry in high school and college. Now I see it wasn't so bad after all. My daughter loves chemistry and wants to be a biochemist one day - I've turned her on to your video series. Thank you very much!
Wow, I can't believe that a video that was a little under 9 minutes long explained more to me than this whole semester. So glad I found this right before my finals exam.
Oh my gosh, the top two comments took the words right out of my mouth-- can you please by my teacher for my entire course?! What a pleasant, personable, and cheerful voice to listen to! After scouring through countless videos, this one was gave me a much needed boost! Thank you!
I can only sit in wonder about how differently I'd view the world growing up had I been more opened mined to this area of study. But I must say, in this video alone you've provided a great deal of clarity to the miniscule understanding I possess. Can't wait to dive into more content. Thank you
Thank you so much for putting this together! I'm a cancer patient reading articles on the new drug I'm taking, and have never taken chemistry. I was tired of not understanding these diagrams, and this video somehow makes all this less scary.
I am so very glad to hear this. I am a long-term, two time breast cancer survivor. I am sending you all the strength and healing energy I can. Be strong, ask for help, and I wish you all the very best. 🐧🐧
@@Penguinprof Thank you for the very kind reply. I've always had a soft spot for teachers -- I've been married to one since 1987. Best wishes for your continued health and knowledge=sharing!
I love you penguin prof. I have been subbed for a long time now and have liked every video ive seen of yours. Youre by far my favorite vids on these higher level subjects on youtube. You explain things so clearly, giving us where to take notice and what to remember, have penguins to help us relax and most of all your voice that sounds like youre always smiling. Keep up your work, we really appreciate it. :3
Look at you responding to all your comments!! Hi! im a 26y.o. from MA who just began dating someone with degrees in molecular and food sciences ! Its been a great motivator to find refresher courses!! I'm so glad your videos exist.
I wish I had time to answer them all... I try to get through some each week, but that's all I can do. Here's an idea to impress your special someone... try making a homemade Valentine card with the structure of dopamine (love and pleasure) or oxytocin (trust, bonding and love). If you've got some cash to spend, check out this shop on Etsy: molecularmuse (Made With Molecules - science jewelry & gifts). Raven does incredible work. I'm just a fan - not sponsored. But Fabio gave me a serotonin necklace and I married him, so there you go... 🐧🥰
I have a strong background in Chemistry - a chemistry major at a premier University 40 years ago - your You Tube videos are as good or better than any lecture I have been to regarding your subject matter - excellent job. This is the first video of yours I have watched - but will watch more - very cool...your voice is wonderful you don't say 'ahhh' and 'oh' and 'you know what mean' constantly...succinct and direct and about as simple as it gets and totally correct...perfect.. ....you are wonderful...
I'm doing year 10 chemistry and we're starting to learn about bonding, but I've been super interested in taking that further, so this video has been amazing. I know it's 7 years old, but it holds up and is still funny and super easy to understand! Thank you for making this video!
I am so glad I found this on utube. I watched the previous videos and it all now makes sense to me. Brilliantly explained with logical progression. Thank you.
I cannot even begin to express my gratitude. I'm currently in chemistry for my nursing pre-req & for the life of me I could 't understand how to write the chemical formula. The ends and bends trick & the review of the four bonds of Carbon really helped me to understand more. Thank you so much!
Those are called 'hashes and wedges." Wedges are drawn to represent constituents coming OUT of the plane towards you and hashes (or dashes) are drawn to represent constituents going INTO the plane (away from you). Check out the FabioChem videos for more (and more of those are on the way!)
I'm so happy someone made a video like this... I was looking up info on some OTC drug and got entrancrd by the molecule diagrams, but wasn't sure exactly how to read the different bonds and other marks... This is the first video on google when I googled "how to read molecule diagram" Thanks so much for making this video!
hi there, I just want to say thank you. I am going to be starting chemistry this year and I knew absolutely nothing about these strange structures. Before you gave the answer to the aspirin structure, i gave it a shot myself to see if I actually was taught anything. I did it. I actually learned more from this little youtube video than i did in a 40 min. lecture in my biology class. Thank you. I understand how to correctly view these structures now. It means a lot.
Im a management consultant with a corporate finance education, who is on a project in the Pharma/APIs space, and these vids have been super handy to be able to understand the client's documentation!
Hello, I am a biologist who has joined a medicinal chemistry lab. I need to ring a bell basic things from my chemistry classes long ago. Thank you this video is very helpful and clear.
Thank you so much for this! I needed it for a Chemistry question as I couldn't figure out where the hydrogens came in, and I cannot thank you enough for how easily you explained this!
Please more chemistry! You are helping me prepare for my advance chemistry class so much!!! You're videos are wonderful and I would be a grateful penguin if you made more :D
You are making me feel so confident about being able to take Biology and Chemistry together! I paused the video at the end and filled in the carbon and hydrogen atoms and was able to write the formula for both caffeine and aspirin without checking! You are AMAZING!
But YOU did it!!! Congratulations - I'm so glad you found this helpful. One of my biggest goals is to give viewers the courage to try and you DID!!! Thank you for letting me know and KEEP GOING!!! Best wishes to you on your journey.
I was never interested in Chemistry in high school, flunked one term and off the baseball team. At 60 years old I listened to you, and was able to draw and write the composition of asprin. She's great.
Penguin Pro great work and you are right the textbook books in school and college is good but the average students like me do not understand some ideas in the textbook.
What you said about the biology textbooks is very true!!! I'm studying biochem and I had no idea what those little hexagons were! Very helpful lesson. Thanks!
I understand everything. But I have a question. So always when there is a bend or an end in a chemical structure, does a carbon always go there? And when there is a Carbon does it always need Hydrogens to fill in the 4 bonds?
A few days ago was my first day of Orgo I and I was absolutely terrified because I'd never seen any chemicals structures before. Thank you! This video has helped me so much.
have never taken a chemistry lesson in my entire life, you make me feel smart by understanding all of this! thank you for making these videos. and for making them so simple and fun
Absolutely great teacher! Came into the video looking to learn, and came out knowing what I needed to learn. Good job! Wish my teachers in highschool were like you
I have a physics and biology exam tomorrow, we won’t study this in chemistry for now, yet I’m here trying to understand chemical structures lmao. Thanks, great explanation.
It’s first video in your channel I have always saw JG video I didn’t thought others video will help me. Just love it and I’m going to subscribe and thank you 🙏 ❤
This helped me so much. I'm only a few weeks into AP Bio and this video helped me understand everything that my teacher left out because I've been struggling with this class. Thanks!
always thought this was too difficult for me to understand but this video has made it clear that its just putting pieces of a jigsaw puzzle in the right places to make the picture. thanks so much for this!
I have seen this video of yours on chemical structure , this video was absolutely very good , i learnt how to draw chemical structure . So thank you so much , you are best explainer .
OMG YOU EXPLAINED IT SO WELL!! I understood it with the first example you gave! I really thought I was never going to understand it. Thank you for making it so simple! Can you also do a video on how to get from the chemical formula to the drawing (basically the reverse of this video).
On 5:10 I know you stated the carbon goes on ends and bends but why didn't we put c at the bends where n is? Is it because the nitrogen is already stable?
+canadianhaitian You can't have 2 atoms in the same place at the same time, just like you can't be driving your car while your mom is driving your car at the same time. I hope that helps!
Why cant everyone teach as easy as you. Great job Ms
+cu99460 Thank you so much!!!
+ThePenguinProf may i ask why does asprin called asprin and caffein called caffein? if i spell the words wrong sorry
@@Penguinprof mam I came to graduation but i don't understand chemical structure but thanks for your understanding i can't forget this thank you🧡

Barely 30 seconds in and I’m already in love with your character and the way you teach.
That is so kind of you to say!!! Thank you!
These videos make me feel like a noble gas. SO HAPPY.
+Lindsey Skidmore Lmao no need to be so caustic
LMAO AHHAHHHA
You are all giving me great nerdy laughs right now!
HAHAHA, i get it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can we clone you and make you the chemistry teacher for every single school in this beautiful universe please!
Gerardo F Oh yes! If I'd had her in high school, I might have passed A Level Chemistry!
same wish here..
I agree totally 110%. She sound so nice with her tone!
No way, I've learnt more in 8 minutes than in 3 years in high-school... so crazy. Thank you so much
I commented this 4 years ago, I can confirm that i totally forgot about these struggles and that you will too soon!
Thank God for the Hula Penguin. I was about to have a panic attack.
I wish my science teacher explained it like 16 years ago!
She makes learning chemistry fun and easy, at least for drawing the chemical bonds part... I'm a happy penguine at last!
I've taught chem for many years and have always struggled to get the carbon skeleton concept across. Loved the "ends and bends". many thanks!

oh my goodness thank you so much. learned more from the past 4 videos than i have in my entire highschool experience!
Same!
=) i never made it to highschool, so this is great :)
Wow, I can't believe that a video that was a little under 9 minutes long explained more to me than this whole semester. So glad I found this right before my finals exam.
dude if i had this video 25 years ago i would have done amazing in chem instead of failing and hating it.. thats so messed up

Even after 8 years, I’m learning something new this very day. Thank you so much ❤️
I'm so glad!
I love chemistry and hold a place for it my heart since I found out about it.
wow..after confused with chemistry for 15 years,(now going back to it) this video shines some light

Thank you so much! I am glad you found it so helpful.
Im 50 years old and you are absolutely amazing at explaining everything. Wish this content was at school, when I was there.
So glad we found each other!!!
But, what if there are like triangles or dotted line or arrows! please do a part 2!!!
Those are called 'hashes and wedges." Wedges are drawn to represent constituents coming OUT of the plane towards you and hashes (or dashes) are drawn to represent constituents going INTO the plane (away from you). Check out the FabioChem videos for more (and more of those are on the way!)

I understand everything. But I have a question. So always when there is a bend or an end in a chemical structure, does a carbon always go there? And when there is a Carbon does it always need Hydrogens to fill in the 4 bonds?
Q1. Yes, unless another atom is drawn in it's always assumed to be a carbon.
Q2: Yes, assume there are hydrogens if no other atoms are shown
@@Penguinprof Okay, Thank You for replying. It really helps.
What superb simple logical explanation for what can be a complex topic! Well done.

Wow, thanks! Good luck!!!
Very grateful for this video, broke down complicated ideas into simple steps. Thank you.

Thank you so much!!!
she makes chemistry look friendly
It’s first video in your channel I have always saw JG video I didn’t thought others video will help me. Just love it and I’m going to subscribe and thank you 🙏 ❤
This helped me so much. I'm only a few weeks into AP Bio and this video helped me understand everything that my teacher left out because I've been struggling with this class. Thanks!
Glad it helped!!!
always thought this was too difficult for me to understand but this video has made it clear that its just putting pieces of a jigsaw puzzle in the right places to make the picture. thanks so much for this!
This is fantastic. Clear, sharp, witty . . . thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this haha this is the first video on carbon chains that actually made sense to me so far!
You are so welcome - very happy to hear that!
I have seen this video of yours on chemical structure , this video was absolutely very good , i learnt how to draw chemical structure . So thank you so much , you are best explainer .
Madame, I own you more than one. I can't do much more, but subscribing is definitely a thing I'm gonna do it!
You are too kind!!! I am SO glad to be able to help!
brilliant thankyou!
if i had a teacher like this in school i would have definitely been a chemist
Oh my penguins... that's one of the coolest things I've ever heard! THANK YOU!
OMG YOU EXPLAINED IT SO WELL!! I understood it with the first example you gave! I really thought I was never going to understand it. Thank you for making it so simple! Can you also do a video on how to get from the chemical formula to the drawing (basically the reverse of this video).
I'm so glad it was helpful! I've put your request on the list. :)
6:34 why do you write it in that order , would it be wrong if i wrote H first or O first , if so ,why ?
It's convention. Chemists have a lot of rules... but without them, it would be a mess honestly.
this was the best video ever for me who made me understand chemistry so well within minutes,so thank you.
Can u make a video of naming the structure? This was vary helpful.
On 5:10 I know you stated the carbon goes on ends and bends but why didn't we put c at the bends where n is? Is it because the nitrogen is already stable?
+canadianhaitian You can't have 2 atoms in the same place at the same time, just like you can't be driving your car while your mom is driving your car at the same time. I hope that helps!
How do you know what order to write it in when you write it in linear pattern??? Like why is it C9H8O4 or C2H6O ? why not OC2H6 or H8C9O4??
Carbon is always first, next is hydrogen, after that they are in alphabetic order.
