I’m in love with your bonding orbitals.

LYRICS:
A dot isn’t the best way to try to sum up how electrons come and go
They are the states of a matter field that follows and equation that Dirac wrote
The Schrodinger part of the whole equation will just lead
In sub-c when it expands
Now get that Coulomb and add it in with a proton
And watch them start to dance
As hydrogen it’s like
“Oh proton I feel your tug
Central potential dip down pulling on me
But I’m not falling in deep
No that would break uncertainty”
“Say oh
Electrons move too much
Slow down your pace and put that orbit on me
Come on now follow my lead
Come come on now follow my lead
Orbitals take the shape they do
As stable states of the quantum rules
And when a one approaches two
They combine and they’re bonding
Thus hydrogen as a rule
Is found in nature as H2
Energy configuring a molecule
Diatomically bonding
Low high low high low high low high
Diatomically bonding (x3)
Energy cofiguring a molecule
When orbitals take the shape they do
1/2 spin’ll give a lepton a twin
One up one down in the ground state
With S and P in quadruple degeneracy
The second shell can be filled up with eight
The higher angular powers spread out like beautiful flowers
In middle families they come into play
Well here’s a carbon with 6e
This ain’t nothing tricksy
But we’re gonna make some methane today
With hydrogen it’s like
“Oh atoms I feel your tug
Got my electrons bugged out pulling on me
Come on now settle round me
I’ll hybridize to sp3”
“Say oh
Carbon here’s touch
Spread out 109.47 degrees
Come on now follow our lead
Come come on now follow our lead”
Molecules take the shape they do
Combining states of the quantum rules
Like when a shell goes sp2
For sigma pi double bonding
And as widely as their purview
They spread out in the molecule
Look at benzene in a ring they hold it true
Aromatically bonding
Low high low high low high low high
Aromatically bonding (x3)
Look at benzene in a ring they hold it true
When orbitals take the shape they do
Come bond with me baby, come bond (x8)
Polymers take the shape they do
Combining base-level residues
Like RNA’s ACGU
Look they’re hydrogen bonding!
Peptides make a chain and group
In beta pleat sheets and corkscrews
With these secondary links they fold and move
They’re all over your body
Come bond with me baby, come bond (x6)
You’re a chemical machine
It’s best you knew
That molecules take the shape of you.

For now on chemistry is my favorite subject , by the way who is here in 2024
I can’t wait to see my teachers playing this in school and I’d be like: Hey, I’ve watched this before! 😆
OM NAMAHSHIVAYA
Damnn!!! Thttt wasss awesomeeee
So awesome, i think like i have to learn chemistry to understand this song, hat's off to your work🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘👏👏👏
Father : I want our son to be a chemist.
Mother : No, I want our son to be a singer.
Him :
As someone prepping for NEET 2026, I think I'll revise my Chemical Bonding and Biomolecules chapter from here now 😅
This is way more romantic, i'm a science lover too😭😭💗
Who all from 2024 June???
better than the original no questions asked.
My final is near and i was afraid of revising chemistry. But suddenly i just got the whole summery of 2 year's of learning chemistry ✨
I encountered this gem somewhere around 2021, when I didn't understand some of the things he was talking about. Today, I can finally understand everything he's saying. It's been such a journey.
Thank you SO MUCH acapellascience! Whenever I'm frustrated, this vid always sparks up my innate interest in science. <3
PHENOMENAL WORK
why don't anyone talk about his talent for singing😍???
Hydrogen atoms have spherical orbitals right?

Thanks!
This has more chemistry than the original one..
my chemistry knowledge paid off, i can understand this
I hope Dr. Brian May likes this.
This is pure genius,extremely well done
Fun fact : This came in your recommendation ❤😂
Happy 7th Birthday, MSoY!
What chemistry should i know to understand this ? Like if know nothing from scratch also give me list in sync.
Enjoy
Oh my god a true genius with a great voice 🫨😲
