Carbocation vs Carbanion Stability (Rules of Organic Chemistry #1)

[@curtpiazza1688]

Wow! I learned a lot in just half the time of a standard college lecture! 😊

[@LosizakII]

No one has EVER explained this to me!

[@fossetteful]

Thanks!

why soooooo excellent channel with amazing illustrations has less people know, I should share with others who struggle with ochem, BTW thank u guy, pls keep peace and safe,making more lectures as possible 😊 ☺

[@userharshpatel]

This is really science simplified ❤

You are a GOD

[@fatts96]

You are simply amazing

[@ignatievgorodi7470]

thank you

For the SP C2H vs the sp3 CH3, shouldn't we consider resonance? So for the first one, one possible resonance form is the other carbon (leftmost) having the positive charge instead. Would this not be more stable?

[@sciencesimplified3890]

Wow! You actually might be right that is a great point you bring up! My intention was to compare the electron orbital of sp vs sp3 which is hard to compare without confounders like resonance, but your point is absolutely legit as far as I can tell

@@sciencesimplified3890 Thanks for responding! I love your videos, and it is good to see your channel has grown. Keep up the amazing work! Do you think your physics playlist is comprehensive for the MCAT or will you still be making other videos?

Yeah I think ethane vs ethyne would be a better comparison since both can do hydride shifts to spread out the positive charge. I don't think you want to give any suggestion methyl cation is stable.
