    Organic Chemistry on Khan Academy: Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

Every other alkane that comes after that follows the numeric pattern pentane(5), hexane(6) heptane(7) and etc. Not the most appropriate phrase but hope this helps :)

  • @tylercairo2347
    @tylercairo2347 11 лет назад +2

    Now that I see the 2-propyl heptane is incorrect and should be 4-methyl nonane, are you supposed to check the length of the carbon chain even off of an alkyl group? I thought you only determine the length of the carbon chain based off of the amount of carbons BEFORE drawing an alkyl group. So just to reiterate, are you supposed to recheck the length of the carbon chain once you've draw in an alkyl group to make sure that it is in fact the longest chain? If any of this made sense. PLEASE HELP

    With the addition of the propyl group to the heptane, the longest carbon chain is no longer 7. If you draw out the entire molecule without numbering the carbons before adding the propyl group and number the carbons afterwards, you'll find that it's nonane with a methyl group attached at the 4th carbon.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but in regards to 6-butyltetradecane and the idea that 9-butyltetradecane never being an actual name since it would be named the first way ( 6-butyltetradecane)... Could you say that with a chain and one group attached, you would never attach it to a carbon greater than the halfway point, for example the last number to exist would be 7-butyltetradecane in this case. Please let me know if that makes sense?
