MCAT Organic Chemistry, Rapid Review (Part 1)

[@nicosleator62]

I have never studied chemistry and watched this whole video. i didn't cry, i in fact loved it even though i literally dont' understand anything. I am not planning on becoming a doctor or going to medical school .great video! Keep it up!

[@shaytanna6864]

you mentioned that you’ll be going through a practice exam and how you would approach it. is there any chance you can do the aamc scored exam rather than the unscored? as i prepare to retake my exam, i felt the unscored was not representative at all and was significantly easier than the others

how do you know?

[@abheetsarker1986]

can somebody pls explain the concept that he begins to discuss at 8:08? he says that the N atom on the left structure is sp3 so it cannot undergo resonance. however, he used the resonance arrow which would mean that the right structure is the resonance of the (left) structure and vice versa. did he make a mistake by using the resonance arrow? should the arrow be pointing from the right stucture to the left structure instead?

[@yusufahasan]

The resonance arrow has two heads- this means that the true structure is a hybrid of both structures drawn on the board. So, since the nitrogen is sp2 in one structure and sp3 in the other, it must be sp2, since it needs the free P orbital to resonate. Please see this lecture for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2mlZmh6btVof9Esi=j2lUVaszLYG0eZR_

Yo that is not a phenyl group at 4:43 it is Benzyl group because of the extra ch2 !!!!

[@bookthoughts1024]

this is probably corrected later/elsewhere, but the aromatic ring displayed at the beginning is actually a benzyl not phenyl because of the extra CH2 before the R group

are you going to be making a physics playlist?

[@yusufahasan]

soon

[@rishichitepu9448]

I think you already mentioned this but will you be making a Psych/Soc playlist?

[@yusufahasan]

unfortunately i do not teach psych
