Chair Conformations Examples

[@mathnerdm]

3 minutes in and I already understand drawing chair confirmations than I did after multiple hours of a textbook. Thank you so much.

[@miapenny4161]

10 years after its release yet still the most helpful video on the subject ive found

[@diskritis2076]

this video is not underrated, it just has quality viewers. No nonsense and straight up clarity of concepts

[@nadianaghi5691]

Best video ever! Learned all I needed to know in a matter of minutes!!

[@AKLECTURES]

Nadia Naghi Thanks Nadia!

[@mohammedkamal5369]

AK LECTURES ❤

[@subhankardash9635]

Nadia Naghi will u explain the 2nd one how down the group takes axial position ??

[@melissavelez4077]

After many videos, you were the only one able to clear up the confusion of it being wedged for up and dashed for down and that Equatorial and axial depend on where the Carbons are on the chair conformation. I can't thank you enough!!!!!!

[@aliambriz7]

i went through countless videos trying to understand, you are my saving grace. thank u bestie

[@12823matthewkao]

fantastic job... best explaination on youtube

[@AKLECTURES]

Thank you Matthew !

[@lightmica]

Dude, seriously. All semester long, I have gone without really understanding this. This seriously has been the only thing that has actually made me understand this. I'm my blown right now.

[@Sam-em8st]

You cannot imagine how many videos I have watched of chair conformation examples, and this is the only one that has made sense to me. Thank You

[@aileneroque8320]

I was stressing out thinking I would be spending hours making sense of chair conformations, but this video taught it all in a matter of 5 minutes. Thank you so much!

[@luke_MacLaughlin]

Definitely one of the best explanations of this I have come across - struggled with this for hours. Happy I can finally tackle it.

[@sarapuentee5788]

Thank u mate, undernstading this take me 3 years. Like for you

[@richietek1011]

This is my first comment on a youtube video in years, awesome job man! this would have taken me hours, Thank you!

[@AKLECTURES]

Hey! Generally, your reasoning is correct. However, problem 1 is a tough one in that the conformation with the two groups on the equatorial position is the more stable one, even though the largest group (tertbutyl) is the axial group. To see why, try drawing the Newman projection. In the Newman projection, you will see that when the tert-butyl is on the equatorial position, it "bumps" with the other two groups as well as the ring structure. However, when tert-butyl is on the axial position, it

[@Yoshi636747]

5 minutes and it cleared up my doubts that were stuck in my mind for a few days. Thank you soooo much. Saviour ;)

[@rawanwebb23]

Wow in a 3 hour class couldn't understand anything but in this 6 minute video i understand perfectly! Thank you so much!:D

[@elizabethlara7670]

Studying for an exam was completely lost before this video. Thank you very much it really helped.

[@RadSel8]

92% on my organic exam partially thanks to you :D

[@animeandstuff5377]

dang wanna donate some brain cells lol

[@paoboonjinnz]

I spent 3 hrs to study the chair conformations by myself and not understood. this 5-min vid helped me understand clearly tho.... wonderful

[@BrennaVirgalla]

THANK YOU!!!!!! was so stressed about this in class because I didn’t understand… now I do! Thank you!!

[@brittanywilliams3354]

great way of explaining it an not being too complex about it,very simple =)

[@barbiefata34]

I have an exam in 2 days and you just saved my grade, thank you so much!

[@sweetmagnolia6]

Literally only one minute in and you have answered something I️ couldn’t find in 3 other videos. I️ am at peace now 😌

[@laurenadams6245]

This really changed my perspective on how to approach this! Such easy steps to understand. Thank you!

[@rg_nald6894]

Wow... That was the most clearest lesson I’ve ever had on this

[@ThePennDiesel]

You're a dawg and I love you. Thank you for making chair conformations so easy man

[@Ra_ue2]

This is exactly what I was searching for, so simple yet so useful

[@damodar4762]

Thank you so much sir , for giving best explanation..love from India 🇮🇳 ❤

[@beltidemensah6525]

Wow I was so confused in lecture today, but this video clarfied it up so much. Thank you so much!!!!

[@AKLECTURES]

only bumps with the methyl and ring structure. The chlorine group is further way. Because we have less steric hinderance, our chair conformation is more stable.

[@carolinemifsud9063]

This just saved me for my exam tomorrow, thank you.

[@BaldwinDylan]

Excellent explanations! Very thorough and clear. I had trouble making that out from the textbook, but you've made it simple. Thank you

[@AKLECTURES]

BaldwinDylan You're welcome!

[@edrisasfour5113]

I watched one of your videos for cell bio and I hated it. Now I watched this one and I LOVE YOU!!!!!

[@rosa-acicularis7368]

I love these videos! Best chemistry help on the internet

[@AKLECTURES]

Great! You're welcome Minju

[@AKLECTURES]

Thanks Catherine! Glad to hear that

[@AKLECTURES]

Thanks Eden

[@SheSomethingElesx3]

Shouldn't the methyl group on the last example be equatorial (pointing up) and not axial?

[@LizaWL18]

Melanie Reyes no it should be eq( down ), bcuz methyl eq(down) is attached to a Hydrogen axial pointing up after the flipping~

[@franciscovargas4733]

@chxrry sxbliminals eyy i got an exam tomorrow lets get it

[@andrewballard4855]

Thanks for the help, had 5 different people explain it to me and never got it tell now. "Its pointed down, and the one pointing down at this position is the axial."

[@supb1437]

Most helpful video that I watched on Chair Conformations! Thank you!

[@ntschem]

If a question about chair conformations appears in my exam i will do it right because of you! Keep going. Cheers :)

[@trishl707]

Comprehensive and absolutely excellent. Thank you! Taught in the first 3 minutes what some take 40 minutes to cover. Thank you!

[@esaer2337]

YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE MAKING SENSE

[@strongnpretty1292]

Thank you so much! I was having such a hard time with these questions. You are simply the best!

[@franciscovargas4733]

chair conformations truly are the bane of my existence

[@AKLECTURES]

You're welcome!

[@senamilefanele6525]

YOU HAVE MADE IT EASIER FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THANKS

[@BarragePker6]

This is amazing! My exam is in 2 hours and you saved my ass. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@maryamtembo9057]

I'm here 10yrs later and it's still the best video ever

[@catherinedonovan388]

This video was really clear and easy to understand. Big help - thanks!

[@tif1602]

Amazing job, you really saved m'y year, thanks a lot

[@XxHarvestPrincessxX]

Thank you so much! The concept of the alternating ups/downs finally clicked with me thanks to your explanation!

[@AKLECTURES]

XxHarvestPrincessxX awesome to hear! :) Gotta love those "aha" moments!

[@musabealiceghislaine2803]

This video definitely helped me grasp the content in no time; thank you so much.

[@zakmatew]

This is one of the best explanations I have seen. Now I get it!

[@AKLECTURES]

Zak Matew Thanks Zak! :)

[@zakmatew]

AK LECTURES Do you have a video where you explain how to identify the location of lone pairs? For example in which orbital would a lone pair reside...depending on the type of atoms and bonds involved.

[@AKLECTURES]

That sounds like the electron configuration of the atom?

[@zakmatew]

AK LECTURES It is part of it. I was using a method to determine in which orbital is, say the lone pair of a =N- atom, which turned out to yield wrong results. I was wondering if there is an efficient way to identify the orbital in which the lone pair reside.

[@AKLECTURES]

Oh I see what you're saying. No there isn't any quick way, but the electron configuration is part of it. First you determine what the electron configuration of the nitrogen atom is all by itself (1s2 2s2 2p3). Then you determine how many hybridized bonds it needs to form with other molecules. It needs to form three bonds to fulfill the octet rule, so three valence electrons are used to create three hybridized orbitals. That uses up 3 out of 5 valence electrons. The other two are the lone pair electrons in the 2p orbital.

[@oliviapatterson1]

THANK GOD someone can explain this to me! My lecturer is great, but I was just not understanding the positions of the exciting groups in chair conformation cis-trans isomers. Thanks!

[@AKLECTURES]

oliviapatterson1 You're very welcome Olivia, glad it shed some light on the topic! :)

[@amberfatima6159]

bro u are such a brilliant teacher my friendz tried to teach me but My mind was not accepting now all confusions are solved

[@allisonbien7547]

blew my mind.... made is soo simple and easy to understand

[@sunnynuyn]

You've just saved me. Thank you very much for making this video!

[@852dudeman]

thank you so much, organic chemistry is a class i need a lot of help on and as a poor college student i cant afford too much tutoring. this really does help so much.

[@AKLECTURES]

definitely know where you are coming from! you are welcome, glad it helps and good luck with organic chem!

[@852dudeman]

AK LECTURES actually went ahead and liked and subscribed because i saw you had an entire playlist for organic chemistry. keep up the awesome work!

[@AKLECTURES]

thanks! really appreciate that! be sure to check out my website! the lectures are organized better!

[@trumanin1]

Excellent video , please keep on posting with the examples it really helped

[@Thees5437]

Straight to the point. Thanks sir

[@leobergstrom5570]

Didnt you draw the CH3 in axile position i the last example? Should it not be bent

[@Sarahh_]

amazing explanations! but one question : if I were to see this on an exam, and they gave me the 1st confirmation (not the second chair flip) do I have to flip it ?? do we just assume based on how the chair looks whether or not we perform a flip?

[@silly22billy]

Explained better than our prof lol this is great, thank you!

[@louiethemouseful]

omg he teaches ochem too?! this guy is a genius

[@lorenaviannay4288]

Reeally the best ever, was looking for something like that

[@haiaabosfeer49]

Dude just saved me before my final !!

[@AKLECTURES]

thats amazing to hear! hope you get one so you can ace it! :)

[@wayradecockaguirre3310]

really helpful thank you! How do you know which one is more stable?

[@hasnainmalik3888]

Posted 9 years ago. Watching on 1st January 2023. Awesome

[@asmcriminaL]

Thanks was really struggling with this a bit. But watched your videos, went through the examples a few times, and got it. axial changes to equatorial and vice versa

[@AKLECTURES]

asmcriminaL Awesome ! :)

[@alibeydoun3329]

god bless you!!! I finally understand

[@El_enaa]

Thanks for the upload! Fantastic and so helpful video.

[@CamDatGetaway]

Great explanation, you are the best!

[@m.j.st.19]

Thank you so much, greetings from germany

[@adebisidemehin60]

Wow!! You are the best!!! I am so happy...

[@henDAWG55]

In #3, if asked to do the most stable conformation. T-butyl, Cl and CH3 would all be equatorial at their respective positions right?

[@madhumithaayyappan5277]

Thank you once again for a fantastic video

[@nazshalamo269]

I think professors are doing students wrong because these short minute clips are giving me more knowledge than a full year at school

[@tiffanychannelvaradi7426]

Thanks so much, this was a super helpful video! I do have one question, though. On the last problem, when we did the chair flip, the methyl group was supposed to go from axial to equatorial, but from the way you drew it (straight down instead of kind of at angle downwards), it looks axial to me. Can you explain that, please? Thanks again!

[@RadSel8]

Yes!

[@ozkancil8620]

+ozkan cil *****conformations'

[@YoyoBear12]

+Tiffany C yah i agree it should be more to the left but still equatorial, he specified it was so if you did it like that then you got it right :D

[@yessicahernandez9421]

you're a life saver!!!

[@USHANLAKMALPunchihewa]

awesome... i love the way u teach.... keep it up......

[@StormCoreFilms]

Well done buddy, you're a legend!

[@AKLECTURES]

StormCoreFilms Thanks, glad it helped :)

[@Nebula9725]

You're the real MVP!!

[@carolinarivera6904]

wow thank you! Better than my professor at explaining this topic.

[@uwigikundiroanita618]

woowww, thank you very much i had been looking all video but i didn;t understood but this video convices me now i understand thanks sir

[@rekhaakp]

Best video!!! You are doing a great work

[@Mranimebug]

Super explanation ❤

[@duddus4782]

Thank you! This video was quite helpful!

[@chupchaptelevision_Awanish]

One thing I want to ask. Let's case 1 As you are seeing that all attached molecule are shown by dashed line.it means all are towards the observer or you can say in same side. Am I right? Then during representation in chair form either they will be oriented along equatorial or Axial depends on your frame of reference. But CH3 you are putting at Axial position while new-butane you are putting at Equatorial.why?

[@exstirpo8120]

Awanish Nishad if butyl was placed in the axial position it would be trans to the methyl group which is not the case. You can also say that the methyl is in the axial position facing up so the butyl group also has to face up which it does in the equatorial position while in the axial it's clearly facing down. Hope it helps

[@chupchaptelevision_Awanish]

EXSTIRPO yeah thanks.i was little bit confused,as thinking something different. Thanks.now clear every thing

[@haidiwaleed1780]

Thanks alot❤️ I'M from egypt

[@chemistrycalculations4106]

Very interesting explanation Thanks

[@sehrishrubab5767]

Thanks for great concept

[@profselma.quimica9853]

It´s good! but I would like to know which one of two is the more stable conformation?

[@YoyoBear12]

Thank you so much for this video, I finally understand this!

[@ineslontro5839]

Thank you so much! Your videos have been of great help! :D

[@AKLECTURES]

Thank you Inês! I'm glad to hear that! :)

[@motilalpradhan4948]

Perfect explanation

[@FaiLovex3]

Thank you, this helped immensely! Question- if I were to pick which one is more stable, I would say whichever one has more equatorial substituents correct?

[@AKLECTURES]

FaiLovex3 Yes, the one that has the larger groups along the equatorial position is the more stable one! (because they dont create as much electrostatic repulsion)

[@FaiLovex3]

Lol two years later and I watched this video again to review for my DAT. I came across my own comment! How ironic. Thanks again!

[@chemistrymaderousing-bytus2100]

u nailed it man..

[@fatima7174]

thank you. you explaned it so clear!!!!

[@isaacepner4292]

Finally sound a simple explanation

[@isaacepner4292]

And the day before my midterm amazing

[@isaacepner4292]

And after knowing how to draw it only needed to know where in place everything learnt it in 3 minutes
