So, I've recently started A levels and before this I was doing the Indian syllabus in the middle east. A lot of syllabus which was being covered at the start here I didn't understand it because a lot of stuff was new for me. Now, slowly these videos helped me understand it.

Hi, your videos are really helpful but i want to ask if this is CIE or AQA? I dont really know if both have that much of a difference when it comes to topics so id like to knoe if this is CIE since the syllabus im learning is CIE but thanks anyway, your videos are really easy to understand😊

Thanks for your kind feedback! Yes, you can use my videos for other exam boards. There is at least 95% crossover with all other exam boards. The biggest differences are how topics are grouped together and which topics go on which tests

(1) In the first alkane video you said that a property of alkanes was their non-polarity, so I assume that's only a generalization for non-halogenoalkanes, right? Therefor, for halogenoalkanes we should remember that they all have some degree of polarity, increasing up the periodic table (2) So, the solubility of a substance depends on wether the polarity of the solvent and solute match closely enough to each other? Not simply wether the solute is polar or not (3) @23:38 What you're saying is that reactivity increases going up the periodic table for elemental halogens, but that reactivity increases going down the periodic table for halogenoalkanes?

@chemistrytutor

Жыл бұрын

Great questions again: 1) yes, correct- unless the halogenoalkane has no H and is all the same halogen. Eg, CCl4 is non Polar as its symmetrical and has no dipole moment 2)yes, spot on 3) yes, exactly so

37:24 Sir if asked for the products would we write KBr or :Br- 40:53 Can't we write the product as C-C=C with 3 H on the first carbon, one H in the 2nd carbon and 2H in the third? (CH3CHCH2)

@chemistrytutor

1) you could write either. Depends if you're writing KOH in a reactant or OH- The only time you *need* the K is as a reagent 2) yes, that's fine. I just chose to show the displayed formula

Why is another hydrogen next to the attacked hydrogen never the leaving group in an elimination reaction? - rlly helpful video btw!!

@chemistrytutor

4 ай бұрын

Thanks 😊 I'm not totally sure which hydrogen you mean. There are usually choices about which H is removed by the base in elimination. The restriction/limitation is that you must take a hydrogen away from a carbon atom that is adjacent to the carbon that had the halogen attached. If there isn't one, then elimination can't happen

13:03 isn’t van der waals forces the weakest intermolecular force?

@chemistrytutor

3 жыл бұрын

Yes absolutely right. What I meant by the writing was- it's the strongest intermolecular force in *that* halogenoalkane molecule. Stronger than the permanent dipole-dipole attractions on this occasion... this because of the size of the molecule (or number of electrons) being sufficiently large that vdW forces become more significant

why do we need to know the physical properties do they come up as exam questions?

@chemistrytutor

22 күн бұрын

Good question, and you're right to seek clarification. It's not that you need to know them specifically in the context of halogenoalkanes... but you need to be able to use & explain polarity in any molecule and to link polarity to solubility in water. Additionally, you need to be able to explain the boiling point pattern of any organic molecule I chose halogenoalkanes as a good way to introduce these concepts in an organic chemistry situation 😀

12:35 but in the alkanes video, during free radical substitution, the bromoethane formed was soluble??

The shorter the alkane the more soluble it is in water. In general they are *more* soluble in Organic solvents than in water

How is chlorine is more electronegative than carbon and break heterolytically in nucleophilic substition of halogenoalkane SN2???? is it because alkyl groups are electron donors so they'll have partially negative charge and carbon accepts the electron so it is partially positive??

@chemistrytutor

8 ай бұрын

Electronegativity is due to the size of the atom and therefore the distance between the nucleus and the covalently bonded electrons. Its also connected to the nuclear charge the atom has. Both of these influence the attraction between the nucleus and the bonded electrons. With Cl vs C its down to the nuclear charge being nearly three times as high in chlorine. The positive inductive effect you mention is an effect of carbon not having a high Electronegativity
