You've got a great personality and explain everything so clearly. It really helps people learn when the teacher actually cares about what they're teaching! Thanks for being awesome!!!
i have an alevel chemistry exam next week and i never understood electrophilic addition. this helped me so much. im not just saying this, it genuinely is alot simper than i made it out to be. the steps are relatively simple and it just took a few minutes of understanding basic terms
Thank you! Just wanted to let you know I'm a master student finishing off my dissertation and these are so helpful for refreshing my chemistry knowledge!
Sir, you have saved my life. I went through all your videos uptil this one to prepare for a subject that I literally had no clue about the entire year. I can't wait to finish the series and finally complete my course. CIEs next month and this is how I did chemistry. Thank you so much, God bless you!
I'm doing Ocr AS chemistry, but the topics are pretty similar & just wanna say thankyou so much for these videos, they are extremely helpful & have helped me understand things I couldn't before!
I'm currently self teaching chemistry with the OCR exam board and thankfully many of your videos apply to the syllabus :D Just want to say a huge heartfelt thank you, I have been struggling to understand many chemistry concepts this year. Your videos are easily understood and have been a huge lifesaver for my A level exams coming up! Keep up the amazing work xxx
Thank you so much for making these a level chemistry videos. They are beyond helpful! I am doing the OCR so slight differences in the spec here and there but these vids are equally useful! I improved by 30% after watching the series on organic chemistry AS! Thanks again!
Thank you so much. My exam is in 3 days time and I feel like I'm definitely failing chemistry for sure, at least unit 2 anyways, until I found you on youtube. Tears of happiness because I finally can make some sense out of chemistry!
honestly, thank you so so much!! This has been like another language to me, and your video has made me understand this for the first time! LIFESAVER!!!!
I really really really appreciate what you are doing for the world. May god bless u forever and ever ❤️Honestly machemguy, Allerychem, u and many other study you-tubers are just living legends
I love how you say 'i hope that's some help' at the end of your videos as if you're not the sole reason to save my chem grade lol your videos are infinitely more than 'some help' ! thank you :')
Last minute revision! Thanks a lot man for these great vids! Oh and umm Could I suggest that all the mechanisms are in one playlist? It'll just make it easier to find them all :)
First off, i really like your videos and they are a great source of revision for my A levels. I have only one minor gripe with this video and that is your structural diagram of sulphuric acid. I know that it is meant to be in a 3 dimensional space, but if you want to draw it in 2 dimensions it is much more accurate to draw the double bonded oxygen atoms on the left and right hand side of the Sulpher atom and the hydroxyl groups above and below instead of both hydroxyl groups above and both double bonded oxygen atoms below as you have drawn. Thanks :)
6:59 So from what I'm understanding. You've got C=C, and one electron is shared from each carbon. As the the BR joins on, both the electrons go to the C-BR bond?
Hey :), in my chemistry notes it explains something called ‘Markownikoff’s Rule’ that says 'In most cases, bromine will be added to the carbon with the fewest hydrogens attached to it' but should I stick to your method of the alkyl groups attached instead?
xxpinkladiesxx Markonikov's rule is just a fancy way of describing what I said. You are looking to produce the most stable carbocation intermediate and so the initial addition will happen to create this stable carbocation - and this will be the carbocation that has the most alkyl groups attached!
thanx so much for all the vids! could you please make videos for kinetics and the maxwell boltzman distribuion, equilibria, group 7/group 2 metals and alcohols, thanx alot!
If we only had two carbons, couldnt the delta +ion still go to either (left of right) carbon just as if we had 3+ carbons?(as shown around 13.52). Thanks
@@waleedahmad177 Because the tertiary carbocation has more electrons fed into it so it is more stable and less positive. so it shouldn't react more than the others and formed less. I know how Mr Rintoul says is the correct way but can someone explain why???
Sir, shouldn't the lone pairs at 12:11 on Br(negative) be different(in symbols), as one of the electrons has been taken away hydrogen(heterophilic) and one was originally from bromine.
Oh I know it's in the specification but I've been given questions that "stretch us" and involve a free radical mechanism, eg when making LDPE oxygen impurities are needed as the oxygen free radical initiates the reaction and etc I just thought it would help with the understanding
Shelly Chandel Thanks for the comment! Do bear in mind that this video is aimed specifically at the AQA AS Chemistry course in which alkynes aren't really mentioned!
Excellant explanation! I can now finally comprehend Organic reactions although im abit concerned about how you gave the Br2 bond a partial negative and a partial positive charge because what i was taught is that a homolytic fission occurs between elements that are the same so one electron goes to each Br ion. If you could kindly quickly reply since ive got an As exam in 2 days and clear my doubts that would be amazing anways God bless 🙏🙏🙏
SIR.........i've a question.....why does a chlorine ( Cl2 molecule) react with UV light to form a negative charged ion with lone pairs???......its given in my book in the same mechanism
Does the addition reaction work with I2? Btw thank you I'm resitting my AS as well as taking A2s this year and I am so much more confident since I found these videos!
Mechanism? I'm not sure if you're getting confused but there is no mechanism for polymerisation? All you need to know at AS is that monomers join together via addition polymerisation to form polymers.
9clpc8 Unless they specify it, I wouldn't bother. The marks that are given are for the arrows and for the correct structure within the mechanism (so plus on carbons etc.). That OK?
Thank you so much - very helpful! I was wondering how would you name the product when sulphuric acid and but-2-ene react? Would it be 2-butyl hydrogen sulphate, butyl-2-hydrogen sulphate or maybe something else?
Hey e rintoul love the vids they are bloody brilliant. Are questions asking us to draw all the isomers of a molecule common. If so, do u have any tips of how to find and draw all of them.
Can I ask, you are using the arrows here with the points on the arrows both sides. From my understanding, you only put both "heads" on those arrows if you are showing 2 electrons being transferred as opposed to 1 head = 1 electron. Now, Bromine and Chlorine would only have 1 arrow head wouldn't they?
Yoiki you understand correctly. But no, the arrows would be double headed. The reason is that electrons are often moving from covalent bonds where there are 2 electrons.
