    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 (C_2v) of SO₂ are similar to H₂O and therefore the vibrational modes are related to each other.
