I am a mature student and I have been going through youtube listening to many explainations of this topic. You are the first person whose explaination is very clear, thank you.
I felt like I was sitting in a classroom directly in front of the board. That’s how interesting and precise this video was. Thank you… you are awesome!
When youtubers explain a lesson better than the textbook and a professor, give God glory for sending angels like theses for clarifying the lessons further
Hi Professor Beverly! I will call you a professor. I would say that you've made covalent and ionic bonds so much easier to understand. The animations you've provided are AMAZING! The animations you've made helped me understand the concepts of the two subjects. So thank you!
Same as many of the other comments. Went to high school, University level engineering degree, 30 years in engineering profession, and this is the best explanation I've ever seen. So simple. Thank you very much. You are a great teacher.
you are a smart teacher and they should pay you very well. You explain one semester in minutes. Great job, you are NOT a lazy teacher it can be seen in the details of your explanation. you take the time to give us step by step knowledge, thank you.
WeeWeeJumbo - I’m sixty, and I have a BA too. I think RUclips is changing the world with videos like this. In high school and college, I noticed that most teachers didn’t explain things well, but kids no longer have to rely on teachers and textbooks - they have RUclips videos competing to be best at explaining things clearly. The best videos generally rise to the top, so kids don’t have to waste time looking for the best explanation. I’m sure it’s not 100 percent perfect, but it’s pretty close.
Wow! Thank you for clarifying this so well! I've spent days studying my material for my A&P class and still felt muddy about bonds. These 12 minutes have been the most valuable of my day now :D
I'm 38, did chemistry in both high school and college, and am now teaching my 6th grader basic chemistry. This is, hands-down, THE BEST explanation I've ever seen. I finally get it!! Thank you!
Wonderful explanation I’m homeschooling my grandson due to the virus and this is what we are working on in chemistry right now. You made it much easier for me
Thank you so much for clearing this up for me! I have struggled to understand this after lectures and coursework, but in just 12 minutes you have lifted the fog! The books lack the animation, which tied it all together for me. I will be sharing this video with my instructor and classmates, as I am sure it will help them as it has me! Thanks again
Wow! I'm homeschooling my kids. I watched other videos, but this one was the best. Now, I'm more confident in teaching it to my kids. It's been a few decades since I learned it as a student.
I'm a 41 year old student... I'm preparing to take the ATI TEAS test to enter a nursing program. Your videos are absolutely awesome! I watch these videos before and after I read a chapter from my textbook. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m SUCH a visual learner and my professor literally just talks about this stuff with ZERO visual aids...it’s so difficult but this literally saved me.
This was a great video. A very complicated topic explained simply. I am a grandma teaching a special needs 9th grader and very much appreciate your ability to untagle such a difficult concept for us.
It's an abbreviation of "I Owe You". Covalent bonds are stronger, since the atoms are engaged in a firm handshake along with a heartfelt hug. You could compare this bond to a romantic connection between two human beings. Or if you like to visualize it - it's a deep-throated makeout sesh between the two atoms. Ionic bonds are weaker since one atom borrows an electron from the other atom, and it's more easily broken - like a fist bump. It's like an atom is saying to another atom: "S'up brah? It was good hanging out with ya, but I gotta split later on 'cuz I got other shit going on. So see ya later". You could compare this bond to a casual connection between two acquaintances. Or in the kiss scenario: It's a simple lip-to-lip kiss between the two atoms. Hope that helps clear things up for you!
Thank you sir. You really explaind it well. Although you are a biology teacher but i think you can totally explain chemistry. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Exams next week and this video really helped me
You are the best🙂 Thank you very much for this video. I am from Ethiopia and learning from someone as far as America thanks to technology and people like you that are willing to share their time and knowledge so thank you!
It’s amazing how a bad teacher can make you hate a subject. I encourage everyone to make their education their responsibility and self-teach through videos like this or reading if necessary. This was great.
I'm taking college biology right now after graduating from high school in 2013. Pray for me 😩😩 & any high school kids out there PLEASE take your education seriously. A little "break" after high school can easily turn into YEARS of wasted time
Why you are way so much better than my professor?! I haven't learned from my professor teaching this for more than an hour. But, you even though English is not my first language, your explanation is easy for me to grasp it.
You are by far the best. I am taking anatomy 1 and I am absolutely list in class for 2 weeks I seen your video once and it's so clear as far as this lesson goes please up load a whole semester worth of anatomy from start to finish
I'm researching for a podcast for the anti-aging company that we are launching and this video has been soooo helpful in my quest to explain how free radicals and anti-oxidants work. Thank you for doing this. You are a master at putting the cookies down where the kids can get them. God bless!
I just woke up at 3am and for some reason HAD to know what an ion was. I went to Wikipedia and I just wasn’t getting an understanding from the text and then I found your video and I completely understand it now. That was a wonderful way of explaining it that I don’t think I’ll ever forget and now I can explain it to my 7 year old grandson who is like a sponge for this and I won’t be confusing him because I didn’t have a full understanding of the subject. I know he’s going to totally get it. Now I can get some sleep. Thank you 🙏🏽 and great job doing your video.
I am a biology teacher. I know the basics of chemistry, but I am not qualified to create an entire chemistry curriculum. Thanks for the compliment however.
Explaining ionic bonds in the context of the neutrons really helped me "see" why the atom loosing the electron becomes positively charged; because it has one more neutron than it has electron. Your explanation and visual aids are better than any explanation or visual aid I have seen in a collage class room.
I've been struggling for the past two weeks trying to understand the two. You made it clear to me in 12 minutes. Sir, thank you so much for making this video!! :)
I had to watch several videos and finally saw yours! You explain so much more clear than anyone else has. The videos of the moving atoms really helped as well, and discussing the stable and unstable part. Thank you so much. I froze the video at certain parts and took pictures that I could print.
You did catch this small error. The third energy level for sodium, or any element, can hold 18, as per 2n*2. He says the third also holds eight, but am sure he meant to say 18. Cheers! Alex in Montana. UPDATE: Just saw the tail end of video...he IS saying 8 even on the Cl atom. Not 18. Not sure why now.
This is a FANTASTIC video. I am using it to teach basic chemistry in a biology college course for non-majors. This makes it so easy to explain chemical bonding!
Big thank you. I'm 22 and finally understood what is going on in my chemistry classes. It's such a feeling when u watch a 12minute video and stop hating chemistry and all ur groupmates who understand it
Omg this video has seriously put things into perspective! I went from being totally oblivious before this video to fully understanding how these 2 bonds work!!!! Thank you so much for this!!!
Thank you so much, it was way better than my teacher, you really taught it as if the viewer did not know anything about the subject at all(like me). My teacher just explained it like it was obvious and it was common knowledge and I didn't understand at all, but you explained it so slowly and clearly and explained everything. Thanks so much!!
This video is amazing!! I did not understand these concepts at all when my prof was teaching them and now everything makes sense after watching your video!! thank you
This confusion over chemical bonding is one of the reasons why I had to drop my class the first time around. This video was a game-changer for me. Thank you.

StrangerInDalian I
agreed but with correct information.
Sad thing they dont
Like Dora?
Same as many of the other comments. Went to high school, University level engineering degree, 30 years in engineering profession, and this is the best explanation I've ever seen. So simple. Thank you very much. You are a great teacher.
You explained it way better than my professor 😭
hahahaha....exactly..same here @Selina Carrisales
hahahaha same
you are so pretty
Lol 😂 same....I was soooo confused after class
Same
you are a smart teacher and they should pay you very well. You explain one semester in minutes. Great job, you are NOT a lazy teacher it can be seen in the details of your explanation. you take the time to give us step by step knowledge, thank you.
I was having such a hard time understanding this, but you made it so simple and easy to understand.
I'm crying I'm so happy!
Thank you so much!!
I'm very happy I was able to help. Keep up the good work.
Are you still crying? Lol stop crying my dear
I get the crying thing.. Sometimes trying to learn can be frustrating! When you final have that AHA moment, it is amazing. Great video!
You totally rock. I needed this for my pharmacology class. Best explanation I have ever seen! Thank you so much for your hard work!
I’m 42 years old, I’ve been through high school and university undergraduate, and I’ve never understood this so well as I do now. Spectacular.

You literally just put my 1 hour science class into a 12 min vid THANK YOU
A gold medal should be awarded for teaching skills. Thank you very much!
Wonderful explanation
I’m homeschooling my grandson due to the virus and this is what we are working on in chemistry right now. You made it much easier for me
Who else is watching this in college? This definitely helped explain what's happening better than my textbook did. Thank you!

You've effectively explained something to me in 12 minutes that my science teacher couldn't in a year. Thank you.
There are way too many professors out here that don’t know how to explain concepts. You are a life saver!
I'm in college level biology and this video is a better explanation than a whole semester of in-person learning!!!
this is highschool level, buddy shi ez
I'm a 41 year old student... I'm preparing to take the ATI TEAS test to enter a nursing program. Your videos are absolutely awesome! I watch these videos before and after I read a chapter from my textbook. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

covalent bonds= come together
iconic bonds= I.o.u
just made this up. hope it helped
Thanks for sharing
wow thanks!

Hope that helps clear things up for you!
Ofentse Dinkwela I Owe You! :) as in one owes the other for electrons, it gives up electrons to compensate
Tiffany Monroe jjjiiikjjjj
One of the best videos on this that I've seen. Not a lot of wasted talk, just right to the point and simply spoken.
It took me so many videos to find one that explained this simply. THANK YOU!
You teach better than even school teachers! Every teacher should teach like you!
Thank you sir. You really explaind it well. Although you are a biology teacher but i think you can totally explain chemistry. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Exams next week and this video really helped me
You are the best🙂 Thank you very much for this video. I am from Ethiopia and learning from someone as far as America thanks to technology and people like you that are willing to share their time and knowledge so thank you!
I'm so glad I found this. This has been the best explained example. Thank you for making it so much easier to understand.
Please keep all your videos as simple as this. It was so easy to understand! Thank you!
Excellent video...Your descriptions and illustrations are extremely clear. I look forward to showing my 7th grader this video.
It’s amazing how a bad teacher can make you hate a subject. I encourage everyone to make their education their responsibility and self-teach through videos like this or reading if necessary. This was great.

If you don't understand Covalent vs. Ionic bonds after watching this, just give up.
Oh no! Never give up. But I understand what you mean. Thank you for the compliment.
😂 my entire adult class is very lost. In 6 minutes I learned here, what I couldn't grasp in 2 three hour long classes from professor. THANK YOU!
hahaha funny comment! but true
Exactly this was so clear to understand it’s impossible not to understand it after this video
jason VDW ha ha ha ha ha GOOD JOKE
You are the best chemistry teacher I have ever heard from. God bless you. I am a new fan
Amazing video!! So helpful. Easy to follow and incredibly informative.
Your explanation was clear and concise. Your graphics are so good and easy to understand. Thank you! Your video is excellent.
Great video! It just made It All click for me. Thank you and please keep posting videos.
Thank you so much, this is very helpful. One of the very first videos on RUclips that actually help me understand
Great video, clear and simple explanation
You are by far the best. I am taking anatomy 1 and I am absolutely list in class for 2 weeks I seen your video once and it's so clear as far as this lesson goes please up load a whole semester worth of anatomy from start to finish
Wow. You just made my day. Great way of teaching.
Oh ma goodness!!! I think I’ve learned more about ionic and covalent bonds in 10mins than I have in 2 days of A&P lectures…very simple. Thank you!
this really helped in my assignment. Keep up the good work! ;)
I'm researching for a podcast for the anti-aging company that we are launching and this video has been soooo helpful in my quest to explain how free radicals and anti-oxidants work. Thank you for doing this. You are a master at putting the cookies down where the kids can get them. God bless!
Thank you for this! Very helpful
Happy I could help... thanks for watching
I just woke up at 3am and for some reason HAD to know what an ion was. I went to Wikipedia and I just wasn’t getting an understanding from the text and then I found your video and I completely understand it now.

Thnxs Sir it was really very very helpful... Nice Teaching 👍
Brilliant . I am sharing this with a second langauge student who has been struggling to understand. Thank you.
You made this sound so easier than my professors way of explaining it
you explained it better than my teacher by so many miles keep doing what you do!
men you are a professor. can you make the whole chemistry for high school
I am a biology teacher. I know the basics of chemistry, but I am not qualified to create an entire chemistry curriculum. Thanks for the compliment however.
Sir then make simplified biology lessons...starting with cell.we will learn biology then.
Explaining ionic bonds in the context of the neutrons really helped me "see" why the atom loosing the electron becomes positively charged; because it has one more neutron than it has electron. Your explanation and visual aids are better than any explanation or visual aid I have seen in a collage class room.
Wait no. That's not correct.
The number of neutrons does not alter the charge of the ion. I think you meant to say "proton" instead of "neutron".
indeed.... i did mean to say protons.
Imagine having a name which has biology and teaching chemistry...Just kidding, you explained it very well.Thank you
What if an element have 4rth level? How many electro will it hold?
You are the only one who could actually explain the two bonds and it made sense. Thank you.
What if an element have 4rth level? How many electro will it hold?
Great video really love the content
I've been struggling for the past two weeks trying to understand the two. You made it clear to me in 12 minutes.
Sir, thank you so much for making this video!! :)
Thank you so much for the help, really appreciate it!
This was so helpful and not boring. Some videos even just 5 minutes can seem so long when explaining chemistry. Thank you!
So sodium is like "I'm not leaving you alone cause you stole my electron?"
Very well dun I learned this 50 years ago and now I understand what I learned keep up the good work my compliments on your efforts
That was extremely helpful. Thank you.
I had to watch several videos and finally saw yours! You explain so much more clear than anyone else has. The videos of the moving atoms really helped as well, and discussing the stable and unstable part. Thank you so much. I froze the video at certain parts and took pictures that I could print.
U made it so easy.. Thanks
Your videos are explaining this in a way my college professor does not! I appreciate you!
Saved my life in bio class 😭❤️
This is the best video description that I've ever seen. You explain so i understand it. (I'm in 8th grade)
Isn’t it 18 electrons on third energy level but you say 8 I am confused
I think it has something to do with the octet rule ( the tendency of the atoms to have 8 electrons at the valence shell).
The third shell can indeed hold up to 18 electrons. It doesn't in the examples in the video, though.
No I’m pretty sure it has 8 shells in the 3 level you should check out Tyler Dewitt he’s an mit teacher
You did catch this small error. The third energy level for sodium, or any element, can hold 18, as per 2n*2. He says the third also holds eight, but am sure he meant to say 18. Cheers! Alex in Montana. UPDATE: Just saw the tail end of video...he IS saying 8 even on the Cl atom. Not 18. Not sure why now.
@@alexdawson7266 Because he is not very clever and this video is not very good :(
This is a FANTASTIC video. I am using it to teach basic chemistry in a biology college course for non-majors. This makes it so easy to explain chemical bonding!
covalent bahnds and ionic bahnds. all use protahns, neutrahns, and electrahns
lmao - I can't believe how much this comment made me laugh.
ur gae
Wicked Bahston accent!
Lmaooo m crying
It's my first time make a comment online. You totally deserve one! Thank you, you explained it very well.
I've learnt so much. pen pineapple apple pen says thank you!
Big thank you. I'm 22 and finally understood what is going on in my chemistry classes. It's such a feeling when u watch a 12minute video and stop hating chemistry and all ur groupmates who understand it
such science such wow
many amazement
LOL PINEAPPLE PEN
why does this have 15 likes
Your explanation is the best! It's pretty straightforward. THANK YOU!
3:50 there are 9 neutrons in the picture
lol yeh ur right...
Alex Joyce yup that got me confused
there was a note saying he drew 9 accidently
Probably on mobile. Those notes don't show up on mobile.
This is very helpful --- cuts down to the basics of chemical bonds. Something I will definitely use in my classroom. THANK YOU so much!!
good
Very Nice. Clear. Concise. PERFECT animation. Thank You.
Omg this video has seriously put things into perspective! I went from being totally oblivious before this video to fully understanding how these 2 bonds work!!!! Thank you so much for this!!!
Ur way better than college professors... I’m finally understanding this thanks to people with visuals like u!!! Thanks
Tremendous explanation of these 2 bonds. Thank you for putting it into words the average person can EASILY understand.
I have a huge test on this tomorrow and my teacher absolutely sucks but thanks to you i now understand this. BIG THANKS!
The best explanation by far!!! I'm near 40 trying to go back to school....been so confused!!! Thanks
This was the clearest explanation I have ever seen. Instant understanding. Thank you so much.
First time I m seeing anybody explaining this chapter so clearly......never before
this was the best explanation for someone who is a visual and tactical learner
that was an excellent explanation! you made my day! I am going to show my son tomorrow! he will be delighted!
just simplified an 1hr 30 min AP Chemistry lesson for me !! Props to this man. Keep it up.
I understand so much more now after watching your video. It explains a lot and answers a lot of questions that I had.
You are a very talented teacher. Thank you for making me understand this. I'm sending you my best wishes from Norway.
Thank you for your kind words... best wishes to you
Thank you for the thorough explanation. I like your method of repeating steps frequently. Repetition helps to fix concepts in the mind.
Thank you so much, it was way better than my teacher, you really taught it as if the viewer did not know anything about the subject at all(like me). My teacher just explained it like it was obvious and it was common knowledge and I didn't understand at all, but you explained it so slowly and clearly and explained everything. Thanks so much!!
