Lewis diagrams (aka Lewis structures, Lewis dot structures, Lewis dot diagrams) are useful because they use simple drawings to show how atoms share valence electrons in molecules, polyatomic ions, and other covalent structures. This is my first tutorial in the series.
Please also see the second video in my Lewis diagram series:
• Lewis Structures Made ...
For simple molecules, follow these 5 steps:
1) count all the valence electrons
2) put the singular atom in the middle
3) draw in single bonds
4) put the remaining electrons in as lone pairs
5) give every atom an octet or duet by turning lone pairs into double or triple bonds as needed

Just in case you have seen the Lewis diagram of sulfur trioxide as something different (i.e. three double bonds as shown in Wikipedia or some old books), current theory suggests that the simple Lewis diagram I drew is most correct based on the lack of d-orbital participation in bonding and the calculated charges (sulfur is positive and oxygens are negative as predicted from formal charges).

When you learn everything last minute before a test
honestly

Going back before ap chem test LOL
test in 20 mins ggs
Sarah Xiao omg right
when your chem teacher doesn’t teach and you turn to youtube videos for help
I felt this bruh 😂😂
lmao true. I just gave up in the middle of the discussion and im like fck it theres youtube 😂
"Why are you not thinking"
A favorite phrase of a former chem teacher (who I had)
yep

"Well I don't feel like teaching what I've already taught before"
This video: Lewis Diagrams made Easy.
My Chem Teacher: Lewis Diagrams made Hard.
I FELT THAT.
The worst part is my chem teacher is s o great like, as a dude. He’s passionate about what he teaches and you’d think that would make it more interesting, and I guess it does, but it’s really hard to make chemistry interactive. He does his best on that by bringing the class into interactive demonstrations using the students as a way to engage and help understand a little better, but it’s just not enough that the class can feel droning. It’s not like he can condense the work, it’s an hour an ten minute class. Over all I actually love him, easily one of my favorite science teachers, but chemistry teachers gets a bad rap because it’s just so un-engaging.
yes maaannnn
@@christianmccauley7340 so true. Chemistry is so intimidating
You taught this 4.5x times quicker than my teacher but yet I learned more.
Awesome! I love that your speed comparison has two significant figures ;)
Ha! It's because by actively seeking this out, you WANTED to learn this material at this time. Whether out of necessity or desire doesn't matter. In class, were you as active of a participant as you were when you watched this video? Did you give your teacher the same concentration that you gave this video? This video is excellent. But, any chemistry teacher should be able to teach you this.

Yow the man is damn good! I didn’t even know what the lines meant! I love how he explains everything! It all make sense now and I realized I am not crazy.
I can never thank the people who make these types of videos enough, you're literally saving my grades💀💀
you're welcome :)

This is simultaneously one of the best explained and best produced video tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
this 7 min vid taught me more then my teacher did in a whole class period
Now I understand... You're better than my science teacher..
Thanks!

Pura vida :)
Be like Hydrogen,
humble, simple, appreciating the smaller things in life.
he's aware how desiring more would just make him less attractive and unable to form bonds with many others around him. More isn't always better and he sticks to 2 electrons instead.
Be like Hydrogen.
And isnt it strange how we drink hydrogen
I'm kinda sorry for hydrogen :
does that mean I should get 2 girlfriends?

I want to marry this video. It made my understanding from a 0 to a full on 11 (on a scale of 0-10)
Me as well.
You have clearly defined the parameters of your scale between 0-10 by going outside of those boundaries you have rendered the aforementioned scale pathetic and unreliable, some might even say cowardly.

You're srsly better than my chemistry professor. He keeps on questioning our poor performance without reflecting within himself. It's a sad life I say.
I missed this lesson; now I have to re-learn it by myself. Thank you for explaining it thoroughly. BRO IS THE GOAT
saved my life, I took chem in like freshman year and completely blanked on how I was supposed to figure out valence electrons haha tysm

Thank you so much.
ketzbook thank you. It was very helpful 👍🏾
ketzbook I
Humaira Tabassum where are you from? Are you Bengali?
ketzbook Hi, thanks for noting this. I tried pausing the video and making the sulfur trioxide lewis dot on my own, and came up with the S 3-bonded, but that would be like giving sulfur 12 electrons, which I guess is possible (it would be an ion). Still a little confused because in my class it was explained that elements like S and O wants 2 bonded and 2 unshared electrons...but this video has been immensely helpful so thank you!!
Wow this made better sense than Professor Dave. Ketzbook actually took his time to explain it and I actually understood it.
Thanks!
Just imagine retiring as a registered nurse, using all your income/salary to pay rent and tax without any good investment or means of extra cash, tending to leave your profession/job that has been part of you for many years with no good funds. How will you cope?
That's why we need to plan ourselves via making extras in all we do because depending on paycheck that can give us our comfort and peace till we die is not guaranteed
This is actually what most families are going through, tax and rents takes almost what they got monthly, leaving them with no savings
I'm a nurse and I saw all this coming, so l've planned myself so I engaged in forex trading, little I know about the business though but so far so good, Forex trading has been my very means of savings lately while my salary goes for bills and utilities
I've heard a lot complaining about how unsafe crypto and Forex trading is but honestly speaking, if you don't experience you won't know, I've seen the bad and the good part of Forex trading
Investing in stocks and Crypto market is the best financial decision anyone can make but the crypto market is much more better than anything else at the moment
Best explanation I’ve seen yet. Thank for a simple, quick, and easily understood lesson!
This video was beyond helpful! I'm a Nursing major and have to take Chem 1151 & we're doing Lewis diagrams in class now. My teacher isn't the best at explaining things... so I was feeling so lost in class today. I searched for other videos and none made any sense. This video has been a lifesaver! I actually have some confidence in Chemistry now. Thank you so much!
you're welcome, and I'm glad you have more confidence now!
Thank you so much for making this video. The way my professor explained this I was lost and I caught on to yours in the 7 minutes.
Glad to hear that ;)
Nice
I love you so much from the deeper most of my heart! Love you! It’s several hours till the test and I didn’t know how to draw Lewis structure. And I watched your video and understand them in a second
I'm so glad!
This video literally made me understand this lesson in just 7 minutes than being explained in the class for 1 hour. Thank you very much! Currently reviewing for a quarterly exam. Wish me luck!
THANKS, you just saved my chem grade.
Thank you! I am trying to take chemistry online and reading it is very hard to understand. Your videos are clearing things up for me. I truly appreciate it!
A touch of a genius makes a whole lot of difference. I was bored to death studying my lecture videos but as soon as I watched your lecture on the topic, I became wide awake and interested. Thank you, sir.
I love your pen animation to a perfect font and just overall everything you have going on there, very satisfying
UGH YOU’RE SUCH AN AMAZING TEACHER. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
You are an excellent teacher 👍 keep up the awesome work, I understand this topic clearly now!!
Thank you so much, through this video I could understand very well this topic! Congratulations, you're a great teacher!!
I absolutely love this channel, you explain everything so clearly. Thank you!
Thank you for your video, it was the most helpful one that I have found!
This was so helpful 😩 😍 I've struggling so much with this since my professor talks as if we already know everything
What a Godsend, this vid was so helpful. Thank you so much, I could never grasp the concept of Lewis structures before this vid, and I’ll need to know them for the rest of the year.
This is really practical, and I love the visuals, the hand drawing part is cool.
No words but want to say you have made me satisfied with the topic
U cleared all my doubts......Thnx a lot...Keep inspiring..☺️☺️
That very last step was a huge help. You made it all so simple for me now. Thanks a million
This is the best video I found 'till now to understand how to manage poliatomic molecules and double (or triple bonds).
Thank you so much, I needed this! It actually makes sense now!!
When this video is 2 years old but still better than the other ones
Ikr
That was so well explained, I cannot express how I feel about it. Specially wanting to actually learn what I am reading. Thank you.
Cramming the night before a test, but now I finally understand! Thanks for posting, you're a lifesaver
2:17 our teacher taught us that H doesn't satisfy the octet rule even though it is stable by having 2 electrons. Not just hydrogen, but also Li+ , Be2+ and Helium violate the octet rule bcz they can't have 8 electrons in their valance shell.
Other elements that violate octet rule are transition and post transition elements, which contain more than 8 electrons in their valance shell.
i agree just like in SO3, the lewis structure he just made is wrong... S can violate the Octet rule since it's an exception and can therefore have double bond in each Oxygen
This video saved my chem grade, thank you you beautiful human being
My teacher couldn't explain in 3 days of this topic which u did in 7 mins helped so much and relieved my stress so much can't say and it the best video than so many others videos on this topic so properly explained from the basic to complex.
This was so helpful! You explained it so much simpler than my book and I finally understand it-thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
This was more helpful than the 30 minutes of my teachers complicated lesson
This video saved my life. I had a quiz today and I watched this video last night bc I didn’t understand what was going on and found this really helpful and I got an A on my quiz thanks to this man👏🏽👏🏽
your so lucky ,thank God. Congratulation.
thank you so much for your understandable explanation , I am literally too happy that I have came over with the lewis diagram
Very good explanation! Thank you!

i know this was from 7yrs ago and i usually never comment on these but honestly thank you so much, everything makes so much more sense. but really, thank you for adding custom captions, it really helps and i appreciate it. 🙏
glad it helped!
As one who also teaches this example in a way that arrives at the same dot structure, I bristle at those who show more than one pi bond at an sp2 hybridized atom. They give no consideration to the unreasonable orbital overlap.
SO3, just like nitrate and carbonate, would have an sp2 hybridized central atom with a single pi bond, as shown.
wow am so sorry
thanks for the info
You’re a life saver! I’m confident I’ll pass my test now
nice!
