The shape of molecules is super important to life as we know it. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry we’re learning about stereochemistry and how to identify molecules as chiral or achiral. And as always, we’ll be doing a...

In which Hank introduces us to the world of Organic Chemistry and, more specifically, the power of hydrocarbon. He talks about the classifications of organic compounds, the structures & properties of alkanes, isomers, and naming...

The strength of an acid is often influenced by the inductive effect. Electron-withdrawing groups attached to an acid molecule can stabilize the negative charge on the conjugate base, increasing acid strength. Conversely,...

Looking at the usage of beta-dicarbonyl compounds.

Halohydrin Formation: Theory, Mechanism, Examples

In this video we will look at some different structures of butane - so they all have 4 carbons but just arranged differently.



We will also look at the the 5 different isomers for hexane - they all have 6 carbons...

Spin that sigma bond and what do you get? Draw the Newman projections and find out! Watch out for pesky gauche interactions.

For this one, we will need to be able to draw Newman projections as well as name the molecule using the rules of IUPAC nomenclature. Basic stuff!

It explains the process and conventions followed for naming amine compounds, highlighting common names and IUPAC names.

Naming molecules according to IUPAC nomenclature.

Here, we discuss how to name simple Haloalkanes & Branched Alkanes given their structures.<br/>
