    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.

    A couple subtle hints that professors love to TEST on when assigning relationships.
    1: if you get stuck, assign R and S names to chiral carbons. If one is SS and the other is RR, its an enatiomer. If one is SS and the other is SR, its a diastereomer
    2: Cis/Trans relations apply in these situations. The key to this is to spot a double bond. More then likely the rest of the molecule wont give any information as to what its relationship is, and it will be a diastereomer.

      @@breathbadminton Haha well since I abandoned the pre-med life 9 years ago after college I've lived in 3 different states and worked in 4 different industries from entertainment to management. Currently working in Financial services for the last 4 years. I think about my college time often, and if I had stayed the course to further education like med school. Basically all I can tell anyone debating another 4 years of schooling is you will be amazed at how fast it goes and if you're on the fence just do it. Whatever you choose you will find yourself looking back at this time for years to come so try to enjoy it the best you can. There is a simplicity to the student life that alot of people will try to recapture after a few years in the world. Anyways, best of luck to you.

    Regarding the last example: the molecule on the left needs TWO rotations to resemble the one on the right. If you rotate it 180 degrees side-to-side, it will have its Bromines on the same side as the molecule on the right, but the Bromines will have dashed lines instead of wedges. But if you rotate the molecule on the left AGAIN, now 180 degrees up-to-down, it will be exactly the same as the molecule on the right. I'm not sure why the instructor didn't mention this.

    • @jonahansen
      @jonahansen 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Doesn't matter - if it is superimposable, it's the same molecule. There are always many sequences of motions that can be applied that end up with the same result. For example, you could flip it three times instead of once around an axis with the same effect.

    To Abdullah et. al., the molecule is non-superimpose-able because the fluorine on the left side is UP, but when you flip it over and try to superimpose it, it ends up pointing DOWN. The fluorine on the right is already pointing UP, so they will not sync up.

If the mirror is to the side.. the atoms in the front will still be in the front in the mirror image and same with the back ones.. i hope that helped.

    because to have a conformational isomer you need to make a rotation around the sigma bond, naming the different "positions" that the groups have. In this case you're not rotating around the sigma bond, but you're rotating all the molecule in the space or, if you prefer, you're "watching" it from behind.

    its all about symmetry. when assessing relationships between molecules symmetry should by one of the first things you look for. If there is any possible way you can create a plane of REFLECTIONAL symmetry your done and you know its meso and thus achiral. Also a helpful hint is to look for chiral carbons. If there aren't any it's achiral. My checklist when i do these: 1: it a constitutional 2: are there any C* 3: is there a plane of symmetry. If all those are no its more then likely chiral.

      This is correct. If you flip them you're looking at the molecule from behind and it looks like enantiomers because the bromines are in the back now. But you can ROTATE the molecule (not flip) 180 degrees to get that exact molecule as well, and thus they are identical molecules but ONLY because they are both bromines. If one was chlorine then it'd be different.

    @tdn1991 You have to think in three dimensions. 2-dimensionally, the drawing doesn't look like it makes sense, but you have to realize that the H and Fl are either going back or sticking out. In the original molecule, the fluorine is coming out at you towards the screen. When he draws the mirrored fluorine, it is going away from you. You can verify this type of behavior in a bathroom mirror. If you move an object toward yourself, its reflection will move away from you and vice versa.
