What is the difference in alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes? How can you remember which is which? Viewers learn about naming rules, cis-trans isomerism, hydrogenation, halogenation, polymerization, and triglycerides from a short video that...

These 37 slides start with definitions of six types of functional groups, their molecular structure, and multiple examples or each. During the rest of the presentation, organic chemistry learners are given an opportunity to practice...

The National Chemistry Olympiad exams are comprehensive tests covering an entire  year of chemistry concepts. You can use them as practice for competing in the challenge, or simply as a review, or as an actual final exam for your general...

Polymers are an important part of our day-to-day lives, but how much do your pupils know about them? Learn the basics and beyond in a series of activities designed to build skills in observation, planning, organic chemistry, and bonding.

How do we tell organic molecules apart? Discover the basics of alkene and alkyne formulas, bonding, and isomers with a video from JFR Science. The narrator shows examples, adds functional groups, then creates isomers to elaborate on how...

Let's get cracking! But, what is hydrocarbon cracking? Chemistry scholars learn the how and why of a process that involves breaking long-chain alkanes down into smaller alkanes and an alkene. The narrator shows both common methods, as...

Ready to put the fun in functional groups? Introduce your class to this fundamental part of organic chemistry with a short video. The narrator explains the structure and naming system of hydrocarbons, as well as the elements and bonding...

Small molecules can make a big impact! Pupils gain an understanding of the polymerization of ethane, a short and useful alkene. The narrator discusses the main ideas behind polymer science, including how chain length affects the...

Scholars think color-change tests are the best! Show them how to differentiate between alkanes and alkenes using a short video. The narrator guides them through the test and the reactions that occur for alkenes. Other topics include...

The vast majority of hydrocarbons humans use help fuel cars, homes, and provide energy. A comprehensive lesson teaches pupils all about hydrocarbons. From alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes to benzene, classes study the preparation of these...

Don't you wish you had the time to type up a study guide for your chemistry class? With this resource, there is no need! A chart comparing the properties of metals and non-metals tops the handout, followed by notes on the reactivity...

This exam is aimed at assessing college level organic chemists. Ten problems are to be solved and include drawing molecular structures, assessing degrees of saturation, ordering alkenes according to stability, and explaining chemical...

National Chemistry Olympiad tests are released after their use each year, since they cannot use them again for this event. The result: outstanding comprehensive assessment resources for general chemistry classes! This 2005 version covers...

If you are delving into organic chemistry with your class, here is a practical resource to assign as homework. It is a chart of 15 organic compounds for which learners fill in the name, line formula, and the complete and condensed...

A full-fledged practice final prepares pupils for their general chemistry final exam. If they complete these 57 multiple-choice questions correctly, they will be well-prepared. Note: even though the questions are multiple-choice, there...

Investigate alkanes and alkynes with this smart selection of slides. Your chemistry scholars will be taught how to identify and name these compounds. They will also be introduced to the addition of hydrogen and halogens to the carbon...

Alkenes and alkanes can collide and result in an addition reaction. Using models of molecules, Chemguy acts out what happens in such a reaction. He then explains how to write them out on his whiteboard. This brief introduction can be...

Triple-bonded aliphatics are called alkynes. Step-by-step, Chemguy walks young chemists through the process of naming these organic compounds and shows models illustrating the molecular structures. Though not entertaining, Chemguy is a...

Alkenes are double-bond aliphatics. Chemguy instructs viewers about saturated and unsaturated fats and demonstrates how to name them. Though not entertaining, Chemguy is a talented teacher who educates effectively. Where these...

Starting with an example of how bromide might react with a number of different alkenes, this lecture shows how the valence electrons and electronegativity control the likelihood of reactions.

Salman reviews the justifications for naming molecules according to their makeup. He gives a valuable list of traditional prefixes and shows multiple examples of naming alkanes.

Sal "expands his repertoire" and starts to demonstrates naming of long complicated alkene chains.

Framed as an organic chemistry practice test, this resource could be used for a variety of purposes. Composed of 15 questions about organic compounds such as isomers, alkynes, alkenes and amines, and other topics related to organic...
