Atomic Orbitals Simply Explained! Inorganic CHEM - 1.12

This video simply explains atomic orbitals. Please note that the information in this video may not always be accurate or up-to-date due to new discoveries. There may also be overlooked mistakes. Therefore, only use this video as an additional resource to enhance your understanding.

Minor Corrections:
1. In this context, the correct spelling should be "principal" instead of "principle."
2. To clarify my previous statement about finding electrons "outside" the orbitals being highly unlikely: Orbitals are essentially infinite in size, potentially extending throughout the universe. The representations in the video illustrate roughly 90-95% of their probability distribution, indicating where electrons are most likely to be found.

Also... 'orbtials...' Great topic though!

Underrated channel ngl, has the really high production quality

[@Brunowerther]

keep it up sir, you explain it really well

[@nichtrichtigrum]

I like your video as you explain orbitals in an easy to follow way :) I have a small correction, though: At 0:37 you say that finding electrons "outside" the orbitals is highly unlikely but not impossible. However, technically, all orbitals stretch out infinitely through the whole universe (with the exception of the so-called knots in the wave-function). The orbital shapes that are depicted, usually only show where the electrons are with 90% or 95% (not sure) probability.

Yes you are correct! However, it can be counterintuitive to describe orbitals as vast as the universe while portraying them as seemly distinct, limited spaces. My aim was to simplify the explanation, by being more black and white. Explaining orbitals involves balancing accuracy with simplicity, as oversimplification can lead to inaccuracies (shown by your comment).Therefore, the correction you’ve provided is definitely important and I’ll add it to my pin comment!

I don't know why , but I liked this video after watching 30sec of it

[@Simon-fg8iz]

Principal, not principle (1:08). Nuclear, not nucular.
Otherwise a valuable short resource for students to deepen their understanding.

THANKS MY JEE EXAM IS ON 6 VERY HELPFUL VIDEO

[@Boooommerang]

Thank you

The "nuculus"?

[@cbarnes2160]

It's cool to delineate the menagerie of orbital types. But if you want to actually explain orbitals, you need to go through *why* they have those crazy shapes. It's not obvious how angular momentum leads to interlocking dumbbells, for example.
Or at least link to a video that talks about that...
