Aromatic Compounds and Huckel's Rule

Halogens comes from a Greek word which translates to make salt. Lesson 27 in the series of 36 teaches pupils about halogens. Pupils read, discuss, and answer questions in order to learn about haloalkanes and haloarenes. From defining...

Why can we smell aromatic and cyclic compounds and why they are in rings instead of lines? Viewers learn about organic compounds, resonance, naming standards for aromatic compounds, common chemical reactions, and the many uses...

Starting with a diagram of a concrete example of electrophilic aromatic substitution, this video recaps diagrams of the electrophile behavior and how they "attack" relatively stable carbocations.

Familiarize your class with the benzene derivative compounds. Some Sal will recommend memorizing, while others are mainly presented as practice for naming.

Discuss the stability of an aromatic benzene ring that has other things attached, such as halides or OH groups. Sal's video details the substitution reaction and the behavior of the strong electrophile initiating the reaction. He...

In this video lecture learn about aromaticity or aromatic stabilization. Video focuses on the aromatic molecule of benzene. Understand that aromatic compounds are classified by containing a ring and having a certain number of electrons...

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...

In this aromatic systems worksheet, students draw the structures of the given compounds and name compounds shown. Students complete the reactions given. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

A video exploring the groups that donate electrons to aromatic rings. Video will show examples of these groups, Ortho-Para directors. [12:58]

A video exploring how the geometry of a molecule plays into aromaticity. Be able to answer the question why cyclooctatetraene is not aromatic like benzene. [10:01]
