Your videos are incredibly helpful and informative and you make this stuff so easy to understand. Thanks a million!

And i thought KhanAcademy was the easiest to learn from! Thank you for explaining everything so well! + the common misconceptions

so in summary: FORMAL CHARGE FC = #Ve in periodic table - #Ve it has in compound (include bonds/ Ve) Oxidation # = number of tug of way it won (- for winner) (only count bonds NOT valence e) I hope I summarized it right, thank you A TON!

At 19:58 it should be positive 10 correct? Not negative since +5 * 2 is +10 and since we need -2 & O is -14 and H is +2

5:54 = Discussion Re Oxidation Number

At 9:15, for the two carbons that are methyl groups off of that middle carbon, would their oxidation numbers be -3 each since they "win" against the hydrogens?

Just want to say I really appreciate your videos!!

Thank you for your videos! Feel like the way you break up the videos is a lot more digestible and less daunting than some 3 hour long videos

This was sooo helpful! Thank you!!

can we study mechanism of organic reaction using the oxidation number instead of formal charge? i know it can be useless but it would be cool to have to different point of view in describing the same thing
