[@MotumaKaba]

easy and clear way of lecture, thank you

Wonder ful..made it easy

[@carlyallen768]

at 6:16 why isn't it 2 methylbutyl? That's the lowest number for the substituent ? You did that for the explain before why didn't you do it for that one?

[@rwayle]

With side chains such as these, the #1 carbon is the one that connects to the parent chain, which is what the zigzagged line is.

[@consolle2846]

yea cought it too... and happy that encountered with ryan answer!

[@pacifiqueemmanuel1667]

Very interesting 👌

[@freezytestudo]

thank you so muchhh

[@goobtron]

At 11:20 you explain how the sec-butyl comes from the secondary carbon and ignore the third on the alkane, but at the end of the video on the cycloalkane molecule you call the same sec-butyl carbon tertiary. Which is it?

[@user-be4yc2vr5c]

I finally understand this now. Thank you! =p

[@hardeeshah2858]

why is it 1-methyl ethyl ? according to the rule, we need to go with ethyl first ?

[@johnreed5225]

The methyl is the branch of the ethyl branch. Think of the ethyl branch acting similar to the main branch with the methyl group sticking out. If you had hexyl branch which also had a methyl branch and an ethyl branch then I think the rule applies. Correct if Im wrong

[@anamikasharma3607]

2:05 can't we name it 4proply haptane?

[@ursulasolorzano]

i thought iso meant different

[@abigailaddah1043]

Y 1 methyl ethyl
