in the section that u compare nucleophilicity, why does (CH3)3 COH not have a negative charge on the oxygen? Isn't H positive so that would indicate that O is negative? Thanks!
the more polarizible trend going down the column in the periodic table is only true in polar protic solvents. I think it is the opposite for polar aprotic solvents.
I'm wondering about the last example as I don't know if there's an error or not. How is the primary attached to the tertiary less reactive than the two secondary Carbons? I understand that a tertiary is the least reactive but, secondary are less reactive then a primary and going by the first Carbon, the two secondaries I believe should be less reactive. So my understanding numbering left to right in decreasing reactivity 3>2>5>4>1
In that last option beta carbon has more branching so it will decrease SN2 drastically…hope u got it …even though it’s primary alkyl halide SN2 Will be least ❤
Sir I’m confuse regarding hydroxide and methoxide which is better nucleophile …plz clarify it ❤…methoxide is better base than hydroxide that’s okay but what about nucleophilicity
Outstanding
God bless you
thank you so much i almost thought I WAS supposed to attack the substrate, this rly cleared things up!
there never was a substrate.... :|

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! Now I understand 😃

This is for polar protic solvent?
thanks a lot

Do you have any fro SN1, carbocations, carbanions, or radical ranking?
Yes, there’s a playlist called Organic Chemistry 1. You should be able to find some there
I’m the first to watch this video
