Alkenes and Alkynes

In this organic chemistry of alkynes worksheet, students write products for reactions in 9 equation problems. They show the synthesis steps for 3 reactions and write the names for 3 compounds.

In this aromatic compounds worksheet, students write the IUPAC names for given aromatic compounds and they draw line formulas for molecules.

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...

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

Markovnikov's rule is explained with reference to pent-1-ene and Hydrogen bromide. There is a review of electronegativity which is useful for viewers, and a recap of how valence electrons behave. The explanation for Markovnikovs rule is...

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.

Sal diagrams the but-2-ene molecule. He gives the vocabulary used to describe alkenes of the same formula but different structure.

Salman Khan works through a number of isomer diagrams and confirms which is named "cis" or "trans", "e" or "z".

Sal starts this lecture by presenting the question as it might appear in a test or chemistry problem set. After reviewing the naming of a molecule, and then drawing it to clarify the electron arrangement, he explains how to determine the...

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...
