Nucleophiles in Organic Chemistry-Part 2
Organic Reactions have a key player – the nucleophile Organic reactions involve nucleophiles and electrophiles. However, it is the nucleophile that “drives” the reaction. Let’s see how to find and …
Nucleophiles in Organic Chemistry-part 1
Using electrons to “find” the nucleophile Organic chemistry centers around the movement of electrons. And these electrons are used to create new bonds. Every reaction you learn involves a nucleophile …
Tips to Understanding Organic Chemistry Orbitals and Hybridization
Understanding Hybridization and Orbitals I remember seeing these topics for the first time and thinking…What? Therefore, I have put this video together to make it easier for you to understand. …
How to make chemical bonds using electrons
Using Electrons to Create Chemical Bonds in Organic Chemistry The lines you see in organic chemistry are simply chemical bonds. Each bond is made up of only 2 electrons. And it …
A Double bond…Is this two single bonds?
What is a Double Bond? When we look at a double bond, we can clearly see that there are two lines between the two atoms. However, are both those lines …
The Number of Bonds – Periodic Table Tips
Use The Periodic Table to Your Advantage Most, if not all, chemistry classrooms have a periodic table on the wall. If it is there, you should use it to your …
