    Melissa,
    I started organic chem last week. I received a B in inorganic chem a few weeks ago and was so happy. Then I got in this class and I came home a ball of anxiety. I didn't feel like I understood it at all, and my professor is not the "step by step" kind of teacher. Which my last chem professor was. And he would write clear notes during lectures via a PowerPoint. Again, not this professor.
    I felt ok as I was going to reach out to my favorite tutor with whom I have been working almost daily for a solid semester. Well to my surprise, I received an auto-reply to my email to the tune of " Shayna is no longer with us." I wanted to die!
    So after procrastinating out of a fear of failure, because I am so lost, I found your videos tonight.
    You SAVED MY LIFE AND MY MIND! I am so happy I found you. I am on my 4th video tomorrow about putting together the structures I am asked for (Alkanes) and I have a quiz on it tomorrow morning. I not only feel so much better, I feel ready.
    Thank you for your attention to detail and your clear love for understanding. You are an angel!

    Dear Melissa Maribel, I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional tutoring in Organic Chemistry (OChem). You're truly the best OChem tutor I've had the pleasure of learning from. Your knowledge and expertise have been a blessing to me, and I appreciate the time and effort you've invested in helping me understand this complex subject. Your passion for teaching has not only made OChem more enjoyable, but it's also made my life easier. Thank you again for sharing your gift with the world. God bless you!

    Great video! I have a question, time stamp: 5:31, when we did step 1 and labeled the structure with orange numbers, we had substituents at 2 & 3, so why did we later on choose to number it in a different way to have substituents at 3 & 4?

    • @perrykay353
      @perrykay353 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ohh is it because we only use the numbering that would give us a heptane, 7 carbon chain?

    anyone have any thoughts on how to recognize if you got a methyl,ethly proply..... etc ? 5:59 confused me because they literally look the same but ones an ethly and the others a methly.
    thank you

    • @普通话-o4y
      @普通话-o4y ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ethyl has 2 carbon while methyl has only 1, and if you'll look carefully the methyl "1carbon" is attached in the longest carbon chain which is not a part of methyl so you can differ it as methyl.

  • @elilatonijoseph5606
    @elilatonijoseph5606 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The only one I didn't work out before getting the answer was the last one as I forgot to put a second 2 before the dimethyl. 😅

    • @conchadeconchos
      @conchadeconchos ปีที่แล้ว

      hey i hopped into the comments with a question about this, why is there two "2"s for the last one? is it not repetetive since the di in di-methyl implies both methyl are already on the 2nd carbon. am i wrong in this thougth process?

    When counting the longest carbon chain, (step 1 in the cases) how do you know where to start on the substituents on counting the carbons? What would be a great tip to indicate where to start that?

    • @melissamaribel
      @melissamaribel  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure if I fully understand your question. Are you asking how do you find the longest carbon chain?
      Or how do you know which way to number the longest carbon chain either left to right or right to left?

    • @jasmineolveda7637
      @jasmineolveda7637 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Melissa Maribel so sorry I confused you :( How do you find which way to number the longest carbon chain from either left to right and right to left?

    • @melissamaribel
      @melissamaribel  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It depends on your substituents if you number from left to right and the substituents have the lowest number then that is correct. But if you number from right to left and the substituents have the lowest number there than that way is correct. Overall if the way you number the chain results in the substituents having the lowest number then that is the correct way.

      @TM-lf6os 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just count the number of C's in the name. If it has branches then you treat those like the skeletal. Drawing it out is also a good option if you're having trouble visualizing.
