Nomenclature
Who is IUPAC and what they do? IUPAC is the organization that names and establishes rules for every organic compound. Find out more in a short video that focuses on prefixes, suffixes, functional groups, carbon chains, and cis or trans...
Curated OER
Alkyl halide nomenclature and classification
A short video introduces the things other than carbon that can branch off the main chain of a hydrocarbon. The examples have double bonds, so the practice involves many of the nomenclature rules that the video series has...

Chemistry: What Is a Covalent Bond? (Polar and Nonpolar)
When it comes to covalent bonding, sharing is caring! As part of the Socratica chemistry playlist, a useful video explains the definition of covalent bonding. Then, it works through examples of single bonding, double bonding, polar...
Fuse School
Alkanes and Alkenes
Need your class to be keen on alkenes? Organic chemistry scholars discover the relationship between alkanes and alkenes in a short video. The narrator guides them through drawing and naming both groups of molecules, as well as reveals...
Fuse School
Properties of Benzene
This lesson has a nice ring to it! Teach your class about the important solvent, benzene, in a short, informative video. Young organic chemists learn the structure of the benzene ring through various acceptable representations. The...

Octet Rule
What did sodium say to chloride? You complete me! The video goes over the octet rule for bonding. It introduces the concept of double and triple bonds and references the electron dot structure and valence electrons. Video is the...
Crash Course
Bonding Models and Lewis Structures
Atomic models help us visualize the interactions of substances we cannot see. Explore atomic models, specifically Lewis structures, that show valence electrons and their role in bonds.
Khan Academy
Pi Bonds and Sp2 Hybridized Orbitals, Structure and Bonding, Organic chemistry
The sigma bonds and overlapping of s or p orbitals are the focus of an informative video. Your class will find SalÕs explanations and recaps very useful. He introduces pi bonds and draws examples of the single and double bonds.
Khan Academy
Naming Alkyl Halides, Substitution and Elimination Reactions, Organic Chemistry
Sal introduces the elements other than carbon that can branch off the main chain of a hydrocarbon. The examples in this video have double bonds, and the practice involves many of the nomenclature rules that he has already covered.
Khan Academy
Entegegen-Zusammen Naming Scheme for Alkene Examples, Organic Chemistry
Salman Khan works through several isomer diagrams and confirms which is named "cis" or "trans", "e" or "z".
Khan Academy
Naming Simple Alkanes, Organic Chemistry
Salman reviews the justifications for naming molecules based on their composition. He gives a valuable list of traditional prefixes and shows multiple examples of naming alkanes.
Khan Academy
Naming Alkenes Examples, Alkenes and Alkynes, Organic Chemistry
Sal "expands his repertoire" and starts to demonstrate the naming of long, complicated alkene chains.
