Organic Chemistry-Emphatically Aliphatic

The National Chemistry Olympiad exams are comprehensive tests covering an entire  year of chemistry concepts. You can use them as practice for competing in the challenge, or simply as a review, or as an actual final exam for your...

Don't you wish you had the time to type up a study guide for your chemistry class? With this resource, there is no need! A chart comparing the properties of metals and non-metals tops the handout, followed by notes on the reactivity...

Complete a graphic organizer of aliphatic reaction pathways. Chemistry aces fill in the chemical formulas of the different hydrocarbon compounds as they inspect products of different reactions. Using a graphic organizer allows learners...

What is the difference in alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes? How can you remember which is which? Viewers learn about naming rules, cis-trans isomerism, hydrogenation, halogenation, polymerization, and triglycerides from a short video...

A video giving examples of how to name alkenes. [8:26]

Need your class to be keen on alkenes? Organic chemistry scholars discover the relationship between alkanes and alkenes in a short video. The narrator guides them through drawing and naming both groups of molecules, as well as reveals...

Let's get cracking! But, what is hydrocarbon cracking? Chemistry scholars learn the how and why of a process that involves breaking long-chain alkanes down into smaller alkanes and an alkene. The narrator shows both common methods, as...

Scholars think color-change tests are the best! Show them how to differentiate between alkanes and alkenes using a short video. The narrator guides them through the test and the reactions that occur for alkenes. Other topics include...

Triple-bonded aliphatics are called alkynes. Step-by-step, Chemguy walks young chemists through the process of naming these organic compounds and shows models illustrating the molecular structures. Though not entertaining, Chemguy is a...

Alkenes are double-bond aliphatics. Chemguy instructs viewers about saturated and unsaturated fats and demonstrates how to name them. Though not entertaining, Chemguy is a talented teacher who educates effectively. Where these...
