Khan Academy: Biology: Properties of Carbon: Functional Groups

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...

What's the function of functional groups? Explore the portions of biological molecules that make things happen with a video from Socratica's series on biology. The narrator illustrates each major functional group, then describes them in...

Learn a new technique for representing organic molecule structure called line or line-angle diagram. This technique was created by Khan Academy founder, Sal Khan. [7:28]

Explore whether silicon could be as important to life as carbon. [6:32]

Learn about structural isomers, stereoisomers, geometric isomers, cis-trans isomers, and enantiomers n this video. [6:48]

This article reviews over the diversity that exists with the structure of hydrocarbons. Learn about structural isomers, cis/trans isomers, and enantiomers too.

A great review of the structure and function of carbon-based molecules important to life, especially with relevance to humans. The chemistry behind the combination of polymers and the breakdown of bonds is covered. Valuable content...

Learn about the common functional groups found in organic chemistry in this video. Understand that functional groups are group of atoms that have predictable chemical behavior. [7:22]

In this video, get an overview of common functional groups. [7:22]
