How To Determine If A Molecule Is Chiral Or Achiral? With a step by step chart and examples!
Please go to • How To Determine If A ... for the second part of the video!
Also, in the beginning I meant to say that every carbon wants to have 4 bonds and if it has 3 single bonds, it will have a 4th group.

Will the same work in biphenyl rings too as wont the bulky groups go out of the plane due to steric repulsion??
really helpful to a chemistry student! thank u so much

Actually surrounding that first point, there are a decent amount of chiral molecules without any stereogenic centers. So I would just be careful if ur trying to rule out chirality based on that alone ((E)-cyclooctene and 1,3-dichloro-allene are just 2 random examples I found online if anyone wants a visual) you’ll often see it with C=C bonds etc. Srsly awesome video tho 🔥 the examples walkthroughs rly helped me out

Hi Maddie, you are right! There are molecules with no stereogenic centers that are still chiral. I'm just trying to give the best tips/tricks for easy identification since usually I don't see professors putting those examples on the test. And thank you so much for watching my video! Glad you found it helpful!

What if instead of having cyclohex-3-ene in example e) we have cyclohexane , the molecule still achiral ?

does this diagram work IN EVERY SITUATION or there are exceptions?

Hi, this is definitely not for every situation. There are exceptions to everything. There are chiral molecules that do not have chiral centers for example. However, this applies to most molecules and is a good guide for the majority of problems.

What is steriogenic center ??????????????

It is a carbon with 4 different groups. It is also called chiral carbon or chiral center. Here is my video to help you kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWmX0KOgoba_Yaw.html

Hi Asskri, thank you for your comment! You are right I showed there is no line of symmetry but wrote achiral by accident! Thank you for pointing it out. I will add it to the comments!

tell me stupid but where do you get the hydrogens or the H like u mention 4 H's??please reply this is my first time watching this

Hi, thank you for the comment. In a line angle drawing hydrogens are not shown but are assumed to be there. Every carbon wants to have four bonds. For example if a carbon has two bonds shown, it must also have two hydrogens(not shown but we can show them). Also, in a line angle structure carbons are not shown either. They are at the end of each line or where two lines come together. Hope this helps
