Organic Chemistry Practice Exam 12

In this episode I talk about the isoelectric point of proteins and why that causes the proteins inside the neuron to have a negative charge.

Ok, so we understand how ligands bond to metals to form transition metal complexes, but how many ligands will fit? Well, remember the octet rule from general chemistry? There is a similar concept that we can apply here, which is called...

Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to convert energy from the Sun into food. In this lecture, I talk about the process of photosynthesis, and show the steps involved in producing glucose.



I go into the Light...

In this video, I talk about the first phase of the action potential - Depolarization. In order for the action potential to take place, the stimulus needs to be strong enough to bring the membrane potential at the axon Hillock to...

Strong Reductions using Lithium Aluminum Hydride (LAH)

It explains multiple chemical reactions of haloalkanes with examples.

This is a lecture video on Newton's third law that discusses the forces that act between two interacting objects. The speaker provides several examples, including a man sitting on a chair, a cannon firing a cannonball, a fish swimming...

Ozone Properties, Mechanism, and Destruction in Stratosphere

This nugget explains the different chemical properties of carboxylic acids and their uses.

This video is a lecture on electric fields, focusing on the definition and characteristics of electric fields, how they are represented on diagrams using electric field lines, and how they can be used to explain phenomena such as static...

This video explains the concept of charging by friction. The video presents experiments and demonstrations to show how two insulators become charged and how opposite charges attract while like charges repel each other. The video also...

When looking at a substrate and a base/nucleophile, how do we know which one of the basic mechanisms will occur? Let's get some tips in here!

In this video, we will discuss the purpose of graded potentials, EPSPs, and IPSPs; and how the summation of all graded potentials by the soma dictates whether an action potential occurs.

It explains various methods for preparation of alcohols and phenols and the chemical properties and reactions of alcohols and phenols.

Detoxification of Cyanide by Thiosulfate Sulfotransferase: Physiology and Mechanism

Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) 1: Introduction

This video explains the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and how insulators can be charged by friction. It goes into detail about the movement of electrons and how charges can be conserved. The video also...

Polarization: Theory and Example

Looking at resonance structures for organic molecules and learning how to determine formal charge.

Looking at carboxylic acids and their derivatives.
