Correction to one mistake in the video: In the SO2 exercise, I say that "SO2 is like water with S instead of O", but of course it is not. H2S would be like water with S instead of O. But the shape and point group (C2v) of SO2 are similar to H2O and therefore the vibrational modes are related to each other.
