Ethers Teacher Resources

Beyond using ethers as the example of an aprotic solvent (as in most of the previous videos), Sal describes the molecule diethylether with its IUPAC name and goes into more detail about its properties. This video does assume your class...

An informative video focuses on the categories of ethers and specifically defines the cyclic subset of ethers. Sal looks at epoxides and explains why they are much more reactive than the generally stable ethers.

In this alcohol and ethers worksheet, students complete 24 reactions of alcohols and ethers by writing the structural formulas for the products. If the reaction does not occur, students write N.R. Students also name 7 alcohols and ethers.

Classes continue their study of organic compounds in a detailed lesson covering alcohols, phenols, and ethers. Naming these compounds, classifying them, and describing their preparation and use are some of the topics covered. Through...

Twelve pages of text tells viewers about the physical properties and naming procedures for alcohols and ethers. A page is also dedicated to briefly describing phenols. This straightforward chemistry presentation comes to you as a PDF...

Identifying characteristics of alcohols and their physical properties are reviewed in bullet-point fashion on the first two slides. The same material follows, but for ethers. Finally, the structure and naming of carboxylic acids and...

In this chemistry worksheet, students name compounds, complete chemical reactions and name families of molecules formed in reactions of alcohols, phenols, ethers and thiols.

In this chemistry worksheet, students use the knowledge of combing elements in order to complete the chemical equations. The equations are filled with the right combinations of elements.

Lesson 12 in "Chemguy's" series of organic chemistry videos, this one is somewhat of a bonus. He briefly introduces young chemists to the ketones, aldehydes, and amines. He discloses how to name and draw the structures of each.

Sal finishes naming the structure from the previous video and the methyl acetate (methyl ethanoate). He then starts comparing the four carboxylic acid derivatives. Sal looks at the resonance structures of the molecules and how...

This comprehensive video focuses on functional groups including alcohols, hydroxyl groups, aldehydes, carboxylic acid, acetone, ethers, esters, and amines. 

These words are tough! Very advanced English language learners or native speakers will still be befuddled by some of these vocabulary words. For each of the six sentences provided, learners must choose the correct word to complete the...

The brain is explained in somewhat ethereal terms in this video. Show your class a slightly different perspective of the neural network in the human body. Various animation is displayed throughout the video.

Explore the world of organic compounds. Each type of organic compounds are described in terms of their bonds to other hydrocarbons. Ethers, alcohols, aldehyde are only some of the exciting compounds viewers will encounter.

Your class should understand the processes Sal discusses here. He recaps the SN2 reaction by removing the oxygen from an epoxide.

In this chemistry worksheet, students identify which has the highest boiling point, as well as the lowest. Then they identify which compound is least soluble in water and why. Students also classify each of the compounds listed on the...

Hydrogen is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, but can we hear it? By taking the wavelengths of the atomic spectrum of radiation from hydrogen, the creator of the video shifts the waves into sound waves. Then, he shifts these waves into...

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete each of the reactions listed on the sheet, following each step carefully. If no reaction occurs, then they write N.R.

From quantum foam to the universe itself, plus everything in between, what is the scale of the world around us? Inquisitive physicists grapple with the proportions of all things great and small using a fascinating interactive. Scholars...

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students write the structures or names from molecular formulas. Then students predict the products from reactions given. This worksheet has 9 fill in the blank questions.

In this chemistry worksheet, learners classify each chemical compound as a ketone, amine, aldehyde, or ether. Students also write a condensed formula and classification for the given organic products.

Students create a pantomime, work cooperatively to conduct and share research, identify and discuss how movement is used to depict the ethereal Odette and the sinister Odile, and creatively pay tribute to the lovers, Odette and Siegfried.

After a useful recap of the conditions that would suggest either Sn1, Sn2, or E1 reactions, this lecture provides exceptions to the usual rules.

Sal approaches the functional group OH. He gives details of the term alcohol, and clarifies the differences from drinking alcohol. Again, there is practice of naming molecules and functional group location.
