💁‍♀️ HI I'M MELISSA MARIBEL
I help students pass Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I used to struggle with this subject, so when I finally graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, I became a tutor so that you wouldn't have to struggle like I did. I know that with the right help, YOU CAN LEARN ANYTHING!

    At 0:16, the second illustration (isomer) shows the methyl group on Carbon #2, not Carbon #4. The longest continuous carbon chain should be numbered so the that the branch is given the lowest number designation. This carbon chain should be numbered from right to left. (Sorry if this has already been mentioned. I have. not read all the comments.)

    The 6th constitutional isomer needs numbering for C as i must be doing it wrong and counting more than 4 C. So is it 1 C at each end of the double bond and 2 at the lateral tails to =4‽

    That's a double bond. Just imagine a carbon on the right and a carbon on the left that are double bonded, and then two more carbons branching out from the left one.

    4:44 why is it when the two carbons are cis to each other and not trans is it not a stereoisomer? shouldn't it be a stereoisomer since the molecular formula hasn't changed but the 3d arrangement has?

Isn't it a long process when you can just directly do what i suggested i saw your previous videos of about month old you have done it without papers and they all been great Videos! Like this one kzread.info/dash/bejne/kY59w5iMda2rqco.html Just a advice it will save paper and you can provide us with more lessons in less time.
