Drawings and naming organic molecules leads to mass confusion for Biology students, most of whom have not yet taken Organic Chemistry. This video will introduce you to this strange world filled with chains and rings and help you to make sense of it. If you have watched my CHEMISTRY BASICS videos I and II (links below) you are ready for what comes next! By the end of the video you will be able to look at structures for aspirin and caffeine and figure out the chemical formula for each. YES YOU WILL!!!

VIDEO DETAILS:
Feel the Power of STRUCTURES
Recall: Bonding Rules are based on valence electrons
Hydrogen: happy with 1 covalent bond
Carbon: happy with 4 covalent bonds
Nitrogen: happy with 3 covalent bonds
Oxygen: happy with 2 covalent bonds
Organic chemistry codifies lots of things:
How Many Carbons?
Types of Carbon-Carbon Bonds
Let's get drawing and understanding:
Ethanol: (structure to formula: C2H6O
Ethanol has two carbon atoms (eth-) with a single bond between them (-ane), and an attached -OH group (suffix "-ol")
RULES:
1. Carbon lives at BENDS and ENDS
2. HYDROGENS bring carbon HAPPINESS
Let's try another:
Caffeine (structure to formula): C8H10N4O2
And finally:
Aspirin: (structure to formula): C9H8O4

We actually have a chemistry teacher (His name is irrelevant, as we all call him Mr. White) and bro knows how to keep us listening. Very clear and most of the time leaning in a way to also cover topics we are interested in that correlate with the unit

This video is the epitome of what a tutorial should be...concise, informative, and easy to understand. Having practically zero knowledge of chemistry, I feel like I learned more in 8 minutes than I probably would have in 8 hours of regular classroom study. Good Job and thanks for sharing!

@pandakabob8013 9 лет назад

I love you penguin prof. I have been subbed for a long time now and have liked every video ive seen of yours. Youre by far my favorite vids on these higher level subjects on youtube. You explain things so clearly, giving us where to take notice and what to remember, have penguins to help us relax and most of all your voice that sounds like youre always smiling. Keep up your work, we really appreciate it. :3

But, what if there are like triangles or dotted line or arrows! please do a part 2!!!

@Penguinprof 7 лет назад

Those are called 'hashes and wedges." Wedges are drawn to represent constituents coming OUT of the plane towards you and hashes (or dashes) are drawn to represent constituents going INTO the plane (away from you). Check out the FabioChem videos for more (and more of those are on the way!)
