What Makes A Good Nucleophile? (1)

[@tunafishjoe]

I would be lost without you. I owe a part of my impending degree to your teaching skills. Thank you!

[@loganfranklin2096]

Did you get the degree?

[@leekelly4574]

I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE, would be so lost without it omg.

[@mariangelvarela1458]

im half way through the semester, more than half way through the chapter and I finally have an explanation for nucleophiles. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@artistenoire]

That makes wonderful sense. Thank you! I am so shocked you don't have more subscribers!

[@shchaing]

Thanks for all your help! I really appreciate that you took your time to make these videos. =)

[@trishabiswas6529]

Thankyou sooo sooooooooooooo much !!!!!! I was so confused in this matter...you are great..you don't know how much you helped me by this ❤️

[@MasterOrganicChem]

Glad it helped!

[@s.a.prodigytv3887]

You Sir, are my hero !

[@user13947]

You, sir, are an awesome teacher. I predict youtube success =D

[@OrcjaEnglish]

This videos was very helpful. ❤

5:30 is wrong. Oxygen has 3 bonds and 1 lone pair. 3+2=5. O should have 6 6-5 is +1 formal charge

[@jonasgustafsson5453]

The author has written a C in the methylate ion so it looks like an O. Formal charge -1 for carbon should be correct...

[@ahmedsaber4224]

thank you 👏👏👏👏

[@devdattabiswas5264]

So, in short... 1) The conjugate base of the given species (subtract 1 H) is the better nucleophile. 2) L to R electronegativity increases but Nucleophilicity decreases.

Thanks sir

if higher electron density (more electrons tot give away) makes a good nucleophile, then why is fluorine the least nucleophilic in the second factor? was following along till that, now I/m confused. what factor do we look for then because both factors contradict each other.

[@mariangelvarela1458]

because flourine is most electronegative so it does not want to five up its electrons. (i realize this was asked a long time ago. just thought you might still want an answer lol )

[@sandyhills4967]

I believe the OH3 should have a positive charge not a negative charge. Correct me if im wrong. Also does that mean its not a nucleophile since it has a positive charge?

[@MasterOrganicChem]

That's actually (-)CH3. Badly drawn. Thanks

[@sandyhills4967]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the videos you make! it helps me a lot!

WHY CANT YOU BE MY PROF!

[@bloober27]

Does nucleophilicity increase or decrease down a group (eg. F- vs I-)?

[@JonathanMartinez-og6mq]

I think since from the Left to Right is decreases then we can assume that down to up is the same, so nucleophilicity increases down so F- is less nucleophlic to I-

[@lauguzagua]

*O* !!! Thanks!!

[@payalrathod2852]

Amazing

[@purushotamkumar8730]

U tooo

[@tinaho1914]

holy crap this sucks. If this is going to be the rest of my life, I quit.

[@mariangelvarela1458]

3 years ago.... lol did you actually quit?

[@thehumanslimjim]

5 years, did you quit?
