Lewis Dot Structures
Finally, you'll understand all those weird pictures of molecules with the letters and the lines and the dots! Those are lewis dot structures. Let's learn how to draw them. It's easier than you think.

Organometallic Reactions Part 2: Oxidative Addition
In addition to ligand exchange, another common organometallic reaction is oxidative addition. This commonly occurs with metals that have stable oxidation states that are two apart. Let's explore some examples of different stypes of...

Pericyclic Reactions Part 4: Electrocyclizations (Conrotatory/Disrotatory and Nazarov Cyclizations)
Just one more on pericyclic reactions! We have to cover electrocyclizations. This way we can talk about neat stuff with frontier molecular orbitals, like conrotatory vs. disrotatory overlap, as well as the important Nazarov cyclization....

Khan Academy: Bromination of Benzene
This video is a concrete example of electrophilic aromatic substitution. The bromination of benzene is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. In this reaction, the electrophile (bromine) forms a sigma bond to the...
