Organic Chemistry on Khan Academy: Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

  • @jakedeering4761
    @jakedeering47618 жыл бұрын

    It seems that 'cis' and 'trans'so only apply when you have one functional group between the carbons you are compairng because the terms are for comparing hydrogen placement. You'll notice in the video that when a molecule is 'cis' or 'trans' the hydrogens are also 'cis' or 'trans' relative to each other. Therefore you cannot call a molecule with two functional groups on it 'cis' or 'trans' because there are no hydrogens to compare--only functional groups. So while the E-Z system is more widely applicable, both systems are equally correct to use regardless of age.

    Awesome video! Just wanted to point out, there's a slight difference between cis/trans and (Z)/(E) : when you have two DIFFERENT funcional groups on one side, it's not cis anymore, but still (Z). I was kind of confused by this at first. But I guess you talk about this more in the other video you mentioned. Also, love all the germans commenting about “how bad your german is“. I just thought your pronounciation was cute.😁 We're not here for freaking german lessons anyways.

    I believe the E and Z naming convention is only used when there 3 or 4 substituents on the two double doubled carbons. If there are only one or two, then you would name the molecule cis or trans.

    Based on my study, E and Z are only applicable for such molecules that are trisubstituted. In this case, it's more comfortable to use the cis-trans naming, provided the two substituents are identical.
