There is a small mistake in this video - the systematic name of glycerol is 1,2,3-propantriol (not 1,2,3-tripropanol). Sorry for the confusion. Finding the video helpful? Support us by sharing these free resources with your friends 😊!
Great video !!! Few questions for you if you don't mind. 1) Structurally, soaps and detergents are so similar but perform differently, why ? - Is it just the hydrophilic group being different that makes this difference. - Are there other compounds present which are responsible for these differences? 2) What makes synthetic non-biodegradable, despite similar structure ? -Isn't the hydrophobic tail the same, so is it because of the hydrophilic side? 3) Also, what makes the charge on the hydrophilic head (anionic or cationic or non-ionic) make such a difference in terms of their applications/uses ? 4) Generally speaking, which is harsher on skin ? - I'm assuming detergents. Thank You
1) Soaps and detergents differ in their water-loving parts, affecting their performance. 2) Non-biodegradable detergents resist breaking down due to complex water-loving components. 3) The charge on detergent's water-loving part determines its use. 4) Generally, detergents are harsher on the skin than soaps.
They're the same (hydroxide) but drawing C-O-H rather than C-H-O is more. Since hydrogen can only form one bond, we usually denote it as HO in organic chemical structures.

Amazing! Thanks!
Thank you so much!
cheers mate
you're a life saver
Good job.. I like to know about chemistry of rubber
very informative, thank you!!
very informative
Very explicit!
Thanks😁
@3:02 what's the difference between OH and HO?
They're the same (hydroxide) but drawing C-O-H rather than C-H-O is more. Since hydrogen can only form one bond, we usually denote it as HO in organic chemical structures.
