CHM 231: Introduction to Organic Chemistry

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.

Unravel the science behind endothermic and exothermic processes by studying vaporization and condensation. Grasp the molecular changes involved and understand the role of heat in these transformations. A comprehensive look into why vaporization requires heat, while condensation releases it.

Explore the concept of bond energy with the H-Cl bond as a prime example. Delve into the energy dynamics of bond breaking (endothermic positive ?H) versus bond formation (exothermic negative ?H). Understand how the magnitude remains consistent but signs differ based on energy absorption or release.

Explore the intriguing contrast between Pentanol and Hexane's viscosity at 20 degrees Celsius. Uncover how molecular interactions influence a liquid's 'thickness' and discover why similar molecular weights can lead to vastly different substance properties

Explore the diverse world of structural isomers! Learn how to draw structures for all constitutional isomers with various molecular formulas, including C4H10, C5H12, C6H14, C2H5Cl, C2H4Cl2, and C2H3Cl3.
