Organic Chemistry on Khan Academy: Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

Hi guys i recently finished my biomed degree so revisiting all the resources i used lool reminiscing massive fan of khan academy.. starting my uni course in medicine if anyone want some inside info lmk more than happy to help :)

[@maxvader1000]

Hi I know it's late, but I'm a first year biomedical science student and just wanted to know where your degree led or is leading you!

감사합니다

[@ShreyasKr...]

7:00 in that compound... because of SN2 mechanism, there should be inversion in both carbons right?

[@Lakshyaverma777]

Pls make videos on all chapters of chemistry🙏🙏🙏
Humble request

[@maunil108]

Nice channel. Keep making more useful videos like this.

[@alphaundpinsel2431]

you know this vid is 8 years old and he has 150k subs?

[@Samaher92]

I thought part of the products would be an alcohol

[@terrywambui3000]

thank you verry much

[@BT.70]

That went from 1 to 100 real quickly

[@rattanlal5633]

Can you please make a video in chemistry carbon and its compounds on 10 class base

[@alphaundpinsel2431]

this vid is 8 years old

[@xManstah]

How do you know if the mechanism is still going? @2:34

[@mackenzieharrison8787]

xManstah these kind of reactions are supposed to keep going until all carbon-oxygen bonds are broken

[@shubhamverma-uw5xp]

Useless

[@andrewlao2957]

listen properly
