In this video Paul Andersen explains how a spontaneous process may take either the thermodynamically controlled or the kinetic controlled pathway. If the activation energy determines the path taken then the process is under kinetic...

Throughout this series we’ve mostly talked about pairs of electrons, but electrons don’t always have a buddy. An atom or group of atoms with a single unpaired electron is called a radical. In this episode of Crash Course Organic...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the reaction path can be described in an energy profile. Enough energy must be added to reach the activation energy required and stress the bonds. Eventually the bonds break and new bonds are...

Chemical reactions are constantly happening in your body -- even at this very moment. But what catalyzes these important reactions? Vance Kite explains how enzymes assist the process, while providing a light-hearted way to remember how...

Paul Andersen explains how catalysts can speed up a reaction without being consumed in the reaction. Catalysts can lower the activation energy of reaction be stabilizing the transition state. They can also create new reaction pathways...

Oxidation-reduction reactions are going on around us, and inside us, all the time, and we can make redox reactions in organic chemistry easier to understand by tracking carbon-oxygen bonds. In this episode of Crash Course Organic...

Reaction Mechanism & Rate Determining Step part 2

Professor Dave explains the science and theory behind pericyclic reactions (Part One)

Professor Dave explains the science and theory behind pericyclic reactions (Part Three)

An introduction to the diels-alder reaction.

Enzyme Kinetics (Reaction Velocities)

Enzyme Kinetics (Activation Energy and Gibb's Free Energy)

Enzyme Thermodynamics (Binding Energy and Entropy)

Before we dive into the applications of organometallic reactions, let's look at one more type of reaction: metathesis. In metathesis reactions, two bonds will break and two bonds will form. Let's look at some of these possibilities!

With a No Deal Brexit looking like more of an inevitability than a possibility, we take a look at some of the ways in which this outcome could be good for the UK. In this video, we discuss how fishing (again!), potential trade deals and...

Labeling Parts of a Reaction Coordinate Diagram

Chemiluminescence is a light emission phenomenon due to a chemical reaction. Let's learn how and why this type of chemical reaction occurs.<b<br/>r/>

Luminescence part 1/3

Introducing the E2 reaction.

For this one we need to understand what the different parameters on an energy diagram correspond to. Check out my tutorial on this subject in the general chemistry playlist if it seems fuzzy!

Practice REAL problems from actual past IIT/JEE exams with Professor Dave!

Now that we have sufficiently covered cycloaddition reactions, we can move on to the next type of pericyclic reactions. That would be sigmatropic shifts. This includes important synthetic techniques like the Cope rearrangement, Oxy-Cope...

Organic Chemistry Practice Exam 6

An important class of reactions is the pericyclic reactions. We've been introduced to one subclass of these, cycloaddition reactions, when we looked at the Diels-Alder reaction. For the next few tutorials we will learn about some other...

Defining nucleophiles, electrophiles, and leaving groups, and introducing the SN2 reaction.
