"Why am I hanging out with this loser? Give me an excuse, any excuse to ditch this guy so I can hang out with those Chad protons over there" /cuts to breakdancing protons. This is hilarious and informative. Great video and animations man.
I will write the same comment in all your uploads: you are a genius when it comes to explaining things using analogies and making graphics out of those analogies. This channel and this creator is the best thing to happen to RUclips lately
i like how he actually explains it down to the atom and the rules they operate on. most people will just stop at molecules or even just leave it abstract.
Wow, this is for the first time someone explains acidity in a way i can séé it. I finally have got some intuitive understanding instead of only the abstract hydrogen/proton-giving/taking(-kinda-force?) explaination. I must say, this explaination (&this whole channel!) is great&correct, helpfull and needed! So thanks for making this videolesson so nice&clear!!
this honestly clarified so much for me whether is be biology or chemistry. I'm in ninth grade taking honors biology and this guy explained all the topics in this videos miles better than any teacher i've ever had.
As a computational Chemist working with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules, I totally felt you when I read the "this took forever to render" bit lol
I commented this under another video from you, but I have to say it again: I have NEVER seen someone explainging these topics sooooo good as you, RESPECT man!
5:20 That animation for resonance is amazing. I've asked professors if this was more or less what was going on and they were usually all stiff and like "no why would you say stupid things. It's just resonance. Resonance is this. There's no vibration or this or that." Like I get that it's more complicated than this with stuff like superposition, but I later discovered I had more or less the right idea and that the professors just didn't have great intuition for the subject material, but more of rote memorization knowledge about it. It was the same with electron orbital shapes simply being spherical harmonics: Basically standing waves you can make on a sphere-shaped drum. Or tipping vs slipping in statics. We learned about tipping vs slipping and the professor said the only way to determine if something is tipping or slipping is to calculate one and see if it works. Then calculate the other. I created a formula to unify the two and he was having NONE OF IT. I swear we need more professors who actually USE what they teach and not just parrot textbooks.
Teaching materials are getting better over the years, and rapidly these days with computer technology. It is not uncommon that the students actually understand the material much better than the teacher does. In fact, a lot of people learn the subject better by browsing RUclips videos than they ever would have by taking college classes. It's similar to how gamers who have played Kerbal Space Program usually understand orbital dynamics way better than NASA engineers who haven't played it. It's all intuitive, if taught right. And the younger you have it taught right, and the less you have it taught wrong, the better you understand it. The better you understand it, the more interested you are to learn more and the better you retain it and apply it to life.
@Matteo Tironi I don’t think so. What you’re speaking is purely theoretical so you shouldn’t state as fact but rather a hypothesis. The same as this concept is also theoretical.
@Matteo Tironi your pompous arrogance is what’s gross. According to my understanding bond lengths can be experimentally measured through a couple of methods. In simpler terms through the use of light waves. However, all of these are calculated lengths. So in the same sense this is still at its primitive stage of measurement so I still stand by what I said. I understand what a hypothesis and most of chemistry is still at the experimental stage since it’s still so new. I can handle my chemistry just fine, I don’t need to arrogantly sound of in a basic video explaining concepts rather than the small details.
I FINALLY understand how acids work. I've seen so many videos about, but none of them have presented it in such a simple way. Honestly, your videos remind me of those old 1930s educational videos, just with better visuals. Which is a good thing, IMO.
This video deserves a million views, the animation is indie feeling but very comfortable. It feels like the creepy side of 3D animation without the attempt to make it creepy which makes us really awesome cause it’s an informative video.
Your videos have changed my whole view on life. I found your channel about a week ago, and after only watching a handful of your videos....i am absolutely blown away. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to explain and animate these concepts in a way that really encourages deeper understanding. Im in Uni right now, taking molecular biology and chem, with O chem in my near future, and im constantly confused by the complex ideas shown to me. It can be really hard to want to keep going, to force understanding, and to remember why i started in the first place. You have genuinely saved my love for science. I have gained a MUCH deeper understanding of what i am learning by watching your videos. Just....Thank you so much.
that was like.. more than i've learned from my 8-th grade chemistry. Very nicely animated, very understandable, a lot easier to understand than all of that gibberish we get taught in school
This is one of if not the best RUclips Channel, Ive gotten to understand certain topics intuitively which I would never would've been able to understand without this chanel. Thank you for doing such a great service to the science community
Wow, this video and channel have exceeded my expectations by a long shot! Great video, I love the detailed (and funny) animations and the fantastic care put into it. Subscribed!
I am an educator for the last 9 years who was an engineer for almost 15 years before that. I must admit I now know what and acid precisely is after watching this video .. Thanks a tonne and please make more of such videos .. Loads of love and respect from India .
Your explanation of hydrolysis finally makes sense! It may not include water at first but the base forms water as a side product which then goes to react and break down stuff!
Hey, Did you know ! You have made learning more intuitive and logical. Wow ! Such a great explanation dude. Keep it up. This video deserves a 100 K likes.
LOL I can't believe I haven't seen this channel before! I'm high as f-, had fun and learned more about something I've never fully understood in school! 10/10 Liked and subscribed!
Very cool and well done video. The stuff with the stability is a bit janky but then again you can't throw entropy at ppl in a 7 min video. The reason for the burns was actually new to me so even learnt something new :)
learned more about chemistry and the like from this single 10 minute video than 12 years of public school. thank you for finally helping me to understand some chemistry stuff :)
As someone who taught high-school science for a few years, I loved this video. You took complex concepts and found really good analogies and your delivery was great (the explanation of proton dissociation and why the electrons seek to abandon it was hilarious).
Great video and so well explained! It's amazing that when we look at things in the microscopic level, it's just protons/electrons just being moved around, "breaking" the foundations of something and we experience this as trauma or worse. It's also fascinating to see how poisoning works, it looks so violent (take cyanide poisoning for example) and it basically just prevents electron transport. Just tiny things simply interacting and following the laws of physics but we experience destruction.
dude there are a lot of educators on RUclips (and content creators in general) whose attempts at humor suck and just derail an otherwise interesting and informative video. you are not one of those educators. you're actually very funny and a talented voice actor and animator.
Love how he fluctuates and vibrates the bonds and atoms to demonstrate that the position and orientation is not fixed but is only shown as balls for illustrative purposes
years ago i heard a hilarious description of fluorine’s chemical promiscuity, but described in human social terms: “Fluorine will hook up with anybody, anywhere, anytime…” 😆 I’m not doing it justice, but the description really stuck with me. After watching your video, i feel like all introductory chemistry should be taught in these terms. You’re more likely to remember something if it has some emotional content, and your hilarious atomic interactions will definitely stick! 😂
Really excellent video!!! I've always tried to explain chemical interactions in human social terms (for example, sodium has an electron it's dying to get rid of and chlorine is dying to get an electron so hey, let's get them together! The marriage is called a salt.). So, it was very cool to see someone else thinks of it this way. Also, i loved the comment at 4:57. I cringed at the render time needed to draw all those little spheres.
Great intro explanation, not saying it wasnt, just... thought you could have mentioned how electricity uses the path of least resistance ... love your "for new scientists" explanation approach. :)
This was an amazing video! As a professional chemist I'm sure I knew the answer to this question in the back of my mind but I've never deeply thought why acids are so willing to donate their proton. I also really like how you included more advanced chemical aspects like delta + and -, pKa and electrochemical values. The cherry on top had to be those 3D protein models - talk about going the extra mile! I'd highly recommend this video to any high school or even college level chemistry teacher! Much kudos to you!

So thanks for making this videolesson so nice&clear!!
Ikr, i always write "acids are proton donors" in my past papers without understanding it... I just write it there.
Until I saw this I had trouble understanding hydrolysis in my anatomy class and he explained it in an off hand comment.
Totally man same here.

A very very very good explanation and this is very easy for all curious students.
Hope this channel makes similar interesting videos frequently.
the simple way that youve explained it with examples and metaphors are both funny and easy to learn, keep up the hard work!
Either my school sucks or they have taught us why electron outer shells exist. This video taught more in 8 mins than my school did in 5 hours
Wow, this video and channel have exceeded my expectations by a long shot! Great video, I love the detailed (and funny) animations and the fantastic care put into it. Subscribed!
Explanations are on point and very easy to understand
You should honestly have so many more subs than you currently have

What a great explanation of electron shells, I never quite understood it until now
Finally an explanation of why acid does what it does i can understand.

so many little nuggets of info explained in a very relatable way.
You'd think a chemistry teacher of all people would know to use a base to dispose of a body.
Those are some really clean animations
I love how humorous yet humourous this is
This is amazing, edit in some pauses for questions and ship it to schools
Wow keep this thing going. I subscribe channels rarely and you deserve it.
Every once in while, a YT channel will come up that explains things the way it should be; with sense
This is extremely high quality content (love your jokes, by the way)! Glad I subscribed!
2:57 "man I'm dead 💀"
This is super cool! I have always wondered why acids were… acid-y, and this does a great job explaining it. Thanks!
Dude where were you when I was in chem 1? This made way more since then my class.
nothing but support for this guy

Singlehandedly helped me understand why are some of the electron layers shaped the way they are better than school. Legitimately

I’m really glad I found this channel although I understand a quarter of what you’re saying. Liked and subbed my good sir.
This channel has no right being this good
Best chemistry animation I have ever seen.
My brain at seeing the title:
Why do acids burn?
Because they’re made of wood?
And therefore…
… … A WITCH!
So I've been wasting time and money on litmus paper and I just need to throw in a duck to test Ph?
3:52 You explained this easier to me than my teacher did xD
And it's also funny😀
This is literally the only video that helped me understand the acids and base thankkkkkkk uuuuuuu soooooooo muchhhhhhh
Never thought I'd feel bad for an analogy for an atomic particle
