Ether Naming and Introduction, Organic Chemistry
Beyond using ethers as an example of an aprotic solvent (as in most of the previous videos), Sal describes the molecule diethyl ether with its IUPAC name and provides more detail about its properties. This video assumes your class will...
Curated OER
Identifying Organic Compounds
Explore the world of organic compounds. Each type of organic compounds are described in terms of their bonds to other hydrocarbons. Ethers, alcohols, aldehyde are only some of the exciting compounds viewers will encounter.
Khan Academy
Zaitsev's Rule, Substitution and Elimination Reactions, Organic chemistry
Discuss the likelihood of ions donating electrons and then forming double bonds with an educational video. It demonstrates the methods for determining which molecules will react with others. Your class will appreciate the review.
Khan Academy
Chiral Examples 2, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry
After providing two more examples of diagramming in different ways, Sal reviews that a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its own mirror image is defined as chiral. The terms given to the chiral center carbon are provided.
Khan Academy
Introduction to Chirality, Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry
An introduction to chirality and whether molecules can be superimposed or not. The terminology for those molecules is given along with the relevance of that characteristic.
