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.

The energy of the staggered conformation that we have taken should be 10kJ instead of 10J. There is some mistake.

use of molecular stick and ball representation is really helpful especially for those who hates imagining molecular structures. this video is really simplified and is really helpful

Thank you! :) It's so exciting

My Organic Chemistry professor said that the energy for (H/H) is 1.0 kcal/mol. If there's 3 (H/H) pairings in 1 methyl group, then it should be 3.0 kcal/mol. Right?

Ok that's pretty clear but 'ive got a question: How are those values of potential energy determined? I mean, what does they refer to? Like, for example, the energy that a mole of the compound gives back when burnt? Thank you (sorry in advance for english mistakes)
