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.

    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!

    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.

    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
