    I love the style with the fluorescent markers. Visuals are so underappreciated in teaching. Also your shirt perfectly fits into the color scheme as well :)

    i like your channel. you look abit like Seann William Scott. hey i was wondering about your last example phenylacetaldehyde and am abit confused about naming carbons. so in that molecule we can also call it the benzylic carbon?

    Haha. I’ve gotten the Stiffler comparison my whole life. Great question! The first carbon adjacent to an aryl ring is always known as the benzylic position, regardless of whether or not there are additional carbons or other functional groups that make up the whole molecule. As long as there is a carbon at that position, chemists call it the benzylic carbon. And thanks so much for your kind words!
