Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Alkanes are kind of the wallflowers of organic chemistry, but they still have important functions in the world around us. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry we-re building our knowledge of organic molecules by learning all about these so called couch potatoes from how they are separated from crude oil to how to use Newman projections to predict torsional strain and steric hinderance. We-ll also learn the names of some common conformers and get an introduction to cycloalkanes. Episode

The energy-difference between the -totally eclipsed- vs. -anti- configurations is - 19kJ/mol 8: 37. Does this mean that exposure to (far-infrared) light of wavelength 6um shall excite the -anti- molecules to a -totally eclipsed- state? (and that this molecule is transparent to light of shorter wavelengths)

These videos are amazing! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into them! I don-t know if people can request series, but I-ll put it out there anyways! I-d love to see one about languages and learning them at some point in the future. No rush though! Thank you!

This is superb. The presenter is outstandingly clear and communicative. This really gives a feeling for some of the intuitive insights that organic chemists use to help them mentally navigate rates and activation energies beyond knowing mere numbers.

Thank you soo much. At high school I never really understood Newman projections and torsional strain because I couldn't visualise these. Due to that I was struggling in college with more advanced topics like medical chemistry. This helped a lottt

Hey! I dont understand can a eclipsed conformer not just simply rotate a little bit to become staggered?
Or. do you have to supply/take energy to the compound to do so.
I need an answer! hELp!

11M subbers ----- FINALLY!
YOU DID IT CRASH COURSE! CONGRATULATIONS!
You TOTALLY deserve it for your dedicated, clear, free and concise teaching!
KEEP IT UP! --

Interesting indeed, but my brain still has trouble wrapping itself in the world of chemistry, as it hasn't high school, and in college. I'll stick with history and biology.

I must admit I often get lost when she talks about molecules without any visual aid (mostly at the start of this episode. When their are drawings it's top notch tho!

No joke I-m about to cry bc I-m finally understanding organic chemistry through this series. Thank you so much. You don-t understand how grateful I am.

Me before this video: Its just alkanes, how hard can they be?
Me after the video: No, no, no, organic chemistry is way harder than I thought
