CHM 2210: Organic Chemistry 1

This video provides insights into the concept of geometric isomerism in organic chemistry and explains why alkynes, which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds and adopt a linear structure, cannot exhibit this form of isomerism, unlike alkenes with double bonds that restrict rotation.

Explore the groundbreaking moment in 1828 when Wöhler synthesized urea, the first organic compound. Join us in this video as we trace the profound impact of this achievement on the field of biochemistry and its significance in unraveling the mysteries of life's complex chemistry.

In biochemistry, polymers are essential macromolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, each adopting specific shapes and performing vital functions within cells, with proteins serving diverse roles, nucleic acids carrying genetic information, catalysis expediting reactions, and the genetic code enabling protein synthesis.
