Crash Course: Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry is pretty much everywhere! In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’re talking about the amazing diversity among organic molecules.

Language is complicated, especially in organic chemistry. This episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry is all about nomenclature. We'll dive into IUPAC's systematic naming of organic molecules, and get to practice with the help of three trusty steps!

In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we're building on the last episode's discussion of nomenclature by learning about IUPAC's naming rules for even more functional groups.

In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we?ll learn how orbital hybridization and valence bond theory can help us explain 3D molecular structures and constitutional and geometric isomers.

In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we?re learning about mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy through the lens of a forensic investigation. Put on your lab coats, and let?s solve this mystery!

In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we?re building our knowledge of organic molecules by learning all about these so-called couch potatoes from how they are separated from crude oil to how to use Newman projections to predict torsional strain and steric hindrance.
