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.

I personally think that Khan Academy is the best source of online learning. When I first encountered this youtube channel i thought for a second. wait "Would I be able to understand,possibility are there might be few terms which might be used in the video which might not be explained or talked about in my reference book" But trust me, it covers every single term and concept. I sometime wander whether he had read my course book or what lol

[@fareedahisah3959]

Ok. I barely studied this entire semester, got 71, 42 and 50 on my 3 tests and 90 on my final. Thank you so much, I literally learned organic chem I in one night, and aced my final.

[@ebo7604]

best teacher ever!

[@seematyagi1060]

the overall reaction is CH4 + Cl2 > CH3Cl + HCl
so if once through homolysis chlorine free radicals are formed after breaking the only Cl molecule..then where did another Chlorine molecule come from?

[@tgdhsuk3589]

when you realise even at alevel uk they dont go over basic uni notation... ie sn11/2 e1/2
i mean we are taugh it but not explicitly told what sn2 is etc or the differences

[@valka978]

Thanks, this video helped a lot.
But i wonder, what are the probabilities, that after iniciation the free chlorines will look for another partner. Isn´t it less energetically demanding to bond with each other again, that break bonds in other molecules?

[@PocketFullaHeat]

Hey there! I wanted to stay thanks for helping me throughout my MCAT studying! However, I thought when Methane reacts with the first chlorine radical and becomes methyl chloride, a second Chlorine is NOT able to react with the methyl chloride create because the C-H bond is no longer weak? In fact, the weakest bond becomes the C-Cl bond because the carbon becomes somewhat positive, so the C-H bond is not that polar, and thus, strong. So it would just replace the current C-Cl bond for another

So with that logic, is it possible to form chloroETHANE as a chlorinated free radical methyl 'bump' with a free radical methyl group? Or even longer alkane chain (with regard to the level of concentration of course)?

how to know which molecule forms bonds with which molecule.

why chlorine formed bond with hydrogen only, why not other molecules??
