I just don't understand why the lectures in the uni can't explain the concept in simple language. They have to make them confusing to trick the students. Love Khan!
rhoadess Yes I would certainly hope so, I was thinking about Sn2 reactions on the round today! There is one house that I always get alot of broken glassware to collect, he has a BMW with blacked out windows, he sometimes bungs me a bit of cash, he seems to be doing well in life, maybe I ask him about organic chemistry...
Quick question: why did Sal draw the C-OH bond on the same side of the Br ion was at? Wouldn't there be steric tension that prevents the OH from entering on the same side of the Br?
Why are there three videos of this with the SAME example??? All of your SN2 videos (that I've seen, so 3) are where the nucleophile and leaving group are in plane, can we see examples of when the nucleophile and leaving group aren't in plane? Also maybe just see different examples too?
This is an awesome video... but i couldn't understand the difference between sn1 and sn2 reaction. They seem to be the same. Could anyone please help me understand the difference?
There are many differences, and due to me being lazy, ill give you a couple or more. the first is that SN2's rate equation involves both the nucleophile itself and the the alkylhalide, whereas SN1's rate equation involves only the alkylhalide. SN2 is only one slow step, whereas SN1 occurs in two steps, one fast and one slow. SN2 requires a strong -ve nucleophile, vs the another nucleophile for SN1. Hope this helped even if a little bit.

I love organic chem (and I'm a garbage truck driver!!) lol
I hope Khan can help you put your love to practical use. Perhaps you'll merge your knowledge of organic chemistry with your current occupation.

hello man its been 7 years, how you doing now?
@@pomi6320 got a PhD in pharmacology, now work in a research lab!
@@davidsweeney111 so happy for you mate, great how things can take a turn in life! Hope you the best in your upcoming future
5:50 when i explain to my crush lol
I am pharmacology student and I love the chemistry
5:26 I think he wants to say that Br is the leaving group :D
This video is amazing
Does the stereo chemistry change?
There's a garbage truck outside!!!

shout out to all the 'pairs'

saif alqahtani Haha don't you think there's a nicer way to say it?
Anyways, you're welcome.
Feynman blood
I love you
Check out Fred Akins for Organic Chemistry. He's Great!
too slow
