    I think confusion with the last example comes from not being sure how to deal with a ring. This would be one way to go about it:
    1) Start at a particular carbon on a ring and follow a path (i.e. clockwise) all the way around that returns you to your starting point.
    2) Begin at the same carbon and follow a path all the way around in the opposite direction (i.e. counterclockwise).
    3) If the paths in both directions were the same, your starting carbon would NOT be a chiral center because the ring itself would be symmetrical (so therefore there aren't 4 different groups attached). If the paths differed at some point (for example, say that the ring has an OH group and you encounter that group sooner as you move clockwise around the ring than if you moved counterclockwise) then your starting carbon would be a chiral center.
    It's hard to explain it without a demonstration, but hopefully that helps anyone that was also confused!

      Thank you! So In the first chirality center on the left, the one attached to an isopropyl group, is it chiral because going clockwise a ring was found sooner than counterclockwise right?

    i dont get how when i teach somebody shit ill explain every detail you need to know but when a professional professor teaches they dont explain important crucial shit to solve problems. Like i literally had no idea there was an invisible hydrogen atom which is why i kept thinking how is there four groups when i only see three and are given three. its not that hard for a teacher to mention something like that but they still seem to fail to do it. this dude is honestly my main professor this semester its sad

    • @Majesticman47
      @Majesticman47 Před 3 lety +2

      Not sure if you still need an answer but the reason is that, if you were to follow both sides of the ring at the same time, you’d get through 2 and a half carbons on each side (meeting in the middle of the bond). Although he drew the lines to be different lengths, they each represent a bond of equal length. So, although it looks like there’s 3 bonds on one side and 2 bonds on the other of the pentagon, it’s actually 2.5 on each side.

    • @anjleesharma1599
      @anjleesharma1599 Před 3 lety +1

      @Giorno Giovanna Actually, we won't call that as an invisible hydrogen. It's there because carbon always form 4 bonds and the structure that we're drawing is called bond line structure.
      It's the main purpose of drawing the structure as bond line so that we can reduce it and even after that we are able to represent the whole compound.
      That's why, hydrogen is present there so that we can satisfy the valency of carbon(having the tendency to form 4 bonds).
      I hope, this will help :)
