This is incredible, i'm not even a english speaker, but you were more clear than my professor, WOW!

[@xabdulaziz]

After I finished watching this I had a very strong impulse to go drink some water and physically sense the Hydronium and Hydroxide ions xD

[@satyamkumar4367]

You provide us the real intuition of every knowledge Thanks a lot sir 😃

[@sakshishukla41]

I haven't heard of autoionization in ionic molecules or molecules that can form hydrogen bonds? Is water the only one that can autoionize and why? Also, what are the "right conditions" that gets water into this state?

[@neoanderson6270]

This guy is so much better than the newer ones like those describing Le Chatelier's principle. Wish they were a little more good.

[@angieh3050]

Thanks for saving my from failing my finals!!!

[@asmaamohamed4748]

very interesting video that you have here today very nice

[@varshiniridu363]

Thank you so much for this wonderful explanation Sir.

[@mimozaqueen5216]

thanx very niceeeeeeee

[@hhu4066]

I was watching a bee video while sleeping and i accidentaly clicked this with my foot and i heard wata battle wata battle and i got scared

[@unbelievable1560]

One of the best videos :d

[@ecxtasiaeleven1256]

but i dont understand why would the water molecule take only the H+ instead of the whole H atom like in all other chemical replacement reactions ? And also why would the pair of spin up spin down electrons react ,with the other molecule i though electron pairs dont react ?

[@kshitijprasad4402]

Thanks

[@ericray7173]

My question is, why does such a dramatically different molecule still behave like water?

[@tkmkirill]

I was going to comment that liter is written with a small l, but according to wiki it can indeed be written with a big L. Here they would deduct a point for that. Good video, thanks.

[@purabipattanayak7318]

I always thought it was written a with a big L i always wrote mililitre as mL

[@chadkline4268]

L is preferable because l looks like I. Ell/l looks like Eye/I. But ml is preferable to mL. Or cc is fine 😊

I love you,Sal!

I have question that why Oxygen Didn't loose both hydrogen attached to it
And why not there is formation of h4O+2 and O2-
Please answer

[@umeshreddy4839]

Same question

[@sakshishukla41]

Hi, I think that it has to do with stability. The H+ in OH- will now be more attracted to the negative O. Even if Oxygen manages to detach from both the H+, the H+ in the solution will quickly get attracted towards the O2- and form OH-. So, I think that H4O2+ and O2- would occur (like that seems possible from all my knowledge on random things happening in chemistry) but their equilibrium concentration would be very less. Although, I am not an expert. I am also not sure why we don't discuss these ions over OH- and H3O+. Good question.

[@chadkline4268]

O loves electrons more than H. O is more electronegative. O needs 2 electrons to complete it's outer shell, while H only needs 1. O is more hungry for electrons. I think 3 of every million water molecules are hydronium + hydroxide. It's just a probability due to the random nature of the molecular formations, due to the strong electronegativity of O.

This guy is Jacobe two two

[@deslomeslager]

Thanks for sharing, nice explanation.Never heard of these ions before.
Does an external High Voltage draw the ions to the side? If yes, does the center now keep creating new ions? If yes, can we do something with this phenomenom?

[@deslomeslager]

@@lalalalisa5458 That was informative 😃
