Hi professor!!!! I think you are amazing and I was literally crying before I found your channel. You helped me understand Lewis structure and gen chem things that I need for my Mcat. 1 REQUEST! Could you please make videos like how you did in the past were it is just the white board and hand on the screen. While you are great to look at, I find that it was much easier to follow your old style of videos for chemistry. Sincerely, a sad student.
Hi, thanks for your message. I have been continuing to make whiteboard animations. Just last month I published one. However, they take about ten times longer to create than videos like this, so I will also be creating more videos that do not require so much time for the animation.
@@ketzbook no problem!! I appreciate the time that you put into these vids. I’m sure you would have a lot of interest in a organic chem series (not sure if you have one) as well as Biochem. Thank you so much again! I also wanted to say, I love that you explain things in great detail rather than assume that we know everything. It’s what sets you apart from khan academy, professor Dave and many more. Keep making content, you have a wonderful talent and a great mind.
@@ketzbook I think if you would have the time- Mcat focused videos are always a great thing to produce. There’s a huge need & a wide audience. As far as I know, nobody has gone chapter by chapter explaining the Mcat.
@@marye3957 Hi, thanks, I am planning on making some organic chemistry videos eventually, but not biochemistry. What topics for mcats do you think I should cover? I don't know much about that test; maybe I'll look into it.
Fabulous video! Question: I thought ionic bonds were stronger than covalent bonds because the ions actually steal or give away its valence electrons? Your video says covalent are stronger than ionic.
I'm actually planning on doing a deep dive into that question later this year. It depends on the the bond, and they are fairly similar in strength. If you do a calculation using Coulomb's law, ionic bonds would be stronger, but that is not an accurate measurement of their strength. The best measurement would be the energy to pull two atoms apart. With that definition, the two are comparable in strength, so it depends on the bond.
I thought Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds because of the electron transfer in ionic bonds rather than shared electrons in covalent bonds???
