Big thanks for Wendy sending over that clip of him in the gym. Nebula gang helping each other out.
-
How about those graphics! Very cool video, as always. Thanks for not using the photo of me lifting weights.
-
"Imagine the amount of cats we could confuse!" -Real Engineering guy, 2021
-
As a chemist, I really gotta say: That was a damn good job of explaining orbitals and basic molecular bonding!
-
Hexagons are the Bestagons
-
Once again, Hexagon is the Bestagon.
-
"It will be on your final exam" I actually have a Chemistry final next week. Why put the fear in me?
-
Imagine this guy starting a teaching series on basic concepts from physics and chemistry. School would be so much easier
-
I literally just finished my final project for my biomaterials course and it was titles “Using Graphene to Improve Prosthetic Functionality” where we proposed a method of connecting nerves directly to prosthetics with graphene nanotubes to essentially great “graphene tube nerves” that act like a circuit between the body and a electronic prosthetic. Crazy how this video was just uploaded a few days before my presentation today.
-
P orbitals actually look a lot more like dumbbells than their usual illustrations would suggest, especially the ones in the higher shells. We elongate them when we draw them, which is good for some things, but actually makes graphene's p-orbital pi-bonds a lot harder to intuit
-
5 years from now: How scientists and engineers will revolutionize the world with Carbon Nanotumes in the next decade.
-
6:01 "Yes, it will be on your final exam" This is stuff of literal nightmares I never even took the midterm, and why am I in class in just my underwear?
-
The hybridization is so well explained in this video (I’m a chem major)! They should use it in general chemistry - I think it could make students actually like learning about MO and electron distribution
-
"and yes, it will be in your final exam" Me, studying materials science: 😭😭 i know.
-
Nanotubes can do everything except leave the laboratory.
-
I'm a last year chemistry undergraduate student on my way to organic chemistry grad. Just loved how you explained chemical bonds and their implications on materials
-
5:06 Lol, that jab at Wendover was perfect... I wasn't expecting that 😅
-
Finally my knowledge of hybridization came to use, i always wondered why are they teach us this at school
-
5:08 "I don't know what gym these nerds are going to" absolute gold, couldn't stop laughing.
-
I watched this video to relax a bit after studying chemistry and it ended up explaining hybridization better than my textbook could lol
