  • čas přidán 21. 08. 2017
  • This chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction on how to calculate oxidation numbers. It discusses how to find the oxidation states of elements such as Zn, O2, F2, and P4 and how to find the oxidation numbers of polyatomic ions such as SO4 2-, PO4 3-, NO3-, ClO4-, Hg2+2, O2-2 and so forth. In addition, this video explains what's behind a fractional oxidation state. For instance, the oxidation number of Fe in Fe3O4 is a fraction +8/3. This tutorial relates oxidation states to electronegativity and positive and negative partial charges.

    The way my professor explained calculating oxidation numbers was so confusing and difficult to follow, but this video was so thorough in explaining how to calculate oxidation numbers and was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!

    @memeperor_ Před 2 lety +52

    this channel is singlehandedly carrying me through college chemistry :) thank u so much, somehow your explanations are 1000x more understandable and LESS BORING than my lectures, even though I love my teacher. I basically ignore allllll my school material and just focus on finding patterns in the steps in solving problems, and you seem to understand that more than anyone. You give me EXACTLY what I need to understand the patterns, and you do it so fast that my ADHD brain is able to stay focused! So bloody perfect

  • @angeliquedominikaarellano9149

    You are so good in explaining, I've read the book many times, and watched 3 different video tutorials but yours is the only video I already understand all about oxidation states. Good job. I hope to see more of your video tutorials. Whatever chemistry topic, your tutorials are my favorite to consult with.

  • @ishmaelchristlifemusic2654

    Man you are blessing from God. I learn so much from you in the simplest ways possible. I am a teacher, whenever I come across a concept I feel might be difficult to understand and in turn explain to the kids, I simply have to watch one of your videos and just like that, i got it. God bless you

    Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for a Basic Introduction on How to Calculate Oxidation Numbers in AP/General Chemistry. Knowing the electronegativity of elements, the Ions and polyatomic ions sheet is an excellent way to calculate oxidation numbers. This is an error free video/lecture on CZcams TV with the Organic Chemistry Tutor.

    Our professor made zero attempts to try and explain this, and only referred to the textbook which did a terrible job at explaining this concept. I re read the whole chapter carefully 3 times before throwing in the towel and looking for help elsewhere. I totally get it now, I just wish I didn't waste so much of my time, thanks for the help!!!

  • @anyataylor9475
    @anyataylor9475 Před 3 lety +11

    It's weird that Americans are taught to add to both sides in algebra e.g at 7:35 you +8 to both sides, whereas in Britain we're taught to move the 8 to the other side and change from + to - or vice versa. Just a weird little thing I noticed :)

    • @sylviaifeomaobi6472
