Deondre Johnson I am just in high school and I am dying, how much pain are you going through.

I think so many students find these videos, and similar youtube videos so helpful is because you have already learnt this in class. Hearing it for the first time is always so much more confusing, but having it solidified in a different format and with a different perspective makes all the difference. This is mainly because I'm trying to study chemistry on my own (screw you GAMSAT), and watching CrashCourse when trying to learn a new topic for the first time, I find I actually learn very little. So, whilst CrashCourse is a great resource to catch your interest in the sciences, or as a quick refresher for students, it is pretty bad for people learning it the first time. So if you're having a lot of trouble learning, its not you. Keep studying, and it'll make sense soon enough :)

Nomenclature was always my favorite in organic chem. Even when I was failing the class, I always did well on nomenclature.

In case anyone was wondering about the exact precedence of the functional groups listed in this video (ranked in decreasing priority): #1 Carboxylic Acid #2 Esters #3 Aldehydes #4 Ketones #5 Alcohols #6 Amines

Standardisation, it's a pain in the ass. But it's just that kind of pain in the ass that actually saves your life. Just like a prostate exam. Wait what.

I’ve never been so confused about something in my life

Hey, Crash Course, staff. Great thanks, for your videos pep's it's really helpful to me ever since G-11 up to now especially in the world of science, biology, chemistry and etc. especially chem.

I've found something similar to the topic you spoke about at 1:40 - 2:05 . In 1668, John Wilkins tried to create a language in which each word represented the thing itself. For instance, Zi identifies the Genus of “beasts” (mammals); Zit gives the Difference of “rapacious beasts of the dog kind”; Zitα gives the Species of dogs. (Sometimes the first letter indicates a supercategory- e.g. Z always indicates an animal.)

My brain stopped working in 5:00 . Will watch again for the 10th time 😅

watching this in 2019 and remembering the cinnamon challenge was a thing

I got a 77% in chemistry as we speak, that’s about to go down tomorrow.

This video was so helpful I watched it over and over again. I decanted 236.588 mL ± 12.350 mL of oxidane into a cylindrical poly(ethyl benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) flask and drank it to maintain a tonicity suitable for homeostasis.

Just the enthusiasm with which Hank teaches makes me smile :D

5:23 I can't be the only one who saw Pit from Kid Icarus as the angel there, right?

Thank you IUPAC! Need more of these systems, or naming conventions ideologies, being used in more fields/subjects. Time is better spent learning and understanding the material in depth. Which, in my view, is a big chunk of what good nomenclature enables. Rather than being forced to stroke some (often) dead persons ego. Be tested on their life's woes, and why 'X' is named after them, or why they got to chose what to call 'X'. Leave that kind of 'trivia' for the more fanatical people. Or perhaps history classes ;)

Ive spent hours trying to find a video finding a video that explains this so I can understand, and this one did, tyvm!

Wonderful and quick explanation/ revision for the night before the exam!

I'm done with Chemistry and Biology ! Next semester I'll be taking Physiology and Physics ! I would appreciate it if you make us a few videos to explain annoyingly non-understandable material into fun understandable ones. :D

Why can't we just spell out the formula...

This was a fantastic video- Hank's the best!

I just started learning about organic chem nomenclature and i want to get this straight, so if a hydrocarbon compound contained 7 carbons its prefix can either be sept or hept?

When you say add "-one" onto ethane to make ethanone isn't that incorrect? A ketone needs at least one carbon on either side of the carbonyl, ethane with two carbons can only be an aldehyde. The smallest ketone is propanone.

there are two numerical naming schemes...based on latin and greek. They are effectively interchangeable but certain things use latin over greek in some cases (but confusingly not all or close to all), normally when the word the prefix is being applied to is latin.

Personally, I hate the 'common names' cause they don't serve any purpose anymore I mean I am never allowed to experiment with the compound in its natural state so why do I have to learn the common name which has no use to me?! And neither is there any other information that I can get from it. So why cant we just get rid of it...!

@xboxboy93941

+MrHSX The reason we still use common names is for the same reason why people call reactions in which electrons are taken away "oxidations" or how one coulumb is not equal to the charge of one electron: scientists in the past started doing things one way, and when they realized there was an easier way to do things, they more or less just kept doing what they were doing. Old habits die hard, you know? It's easier to just create a new system than to overhaul an existing one. Plus, common names are useful in some classes of compounds, like diacids. Nobody calls them by their IUPAC names. Everyone uses common names for those. Just remember, mother makes Oh My Such Good Apple Pie, Sweet As Sugar.

YOU SAVED ME thank you for these amazing videos!!!

I agree that it's a great thing that you can build a molecule from these rules... it's just not a very easy to remember or great sounding and if you can't remember it, it's not actually all that good, even if you're being precise.
