Watch This Video BEFORE Starting To Learn Reaction Mechanisms

[@kaylynhtun9495]

Oh my days where have you been during my entire chemistry AS level experience? This is so helpful...Thank you..

[@Chemistorian]

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce that I now have posters available for the reaction schemes in this video: Aliphatic reactions: rdbl.co/47y5oAk Benzene reactions: rdbl.co/41W1qQM Phenol reactions: rdbl.co/3NZc8QE Perfect for learning organic chemistry (and supporting the channel at the same time!) 👨‍🔬

Thank you very much, the video was very helpful. Please consider uploading the rest of mechanism videos soon for those of us who are currently being examined in chemistry.

Ого, вы очень классно обьясняете, спасибо

loving the animations! excited to see your next vid :)

Thanks, I'm glad you like them! 😄

So are acids and bases the opposite of nucleophiles and electrophiles since they accept / donate protons? Also would u possibly do a video covering acids and bases / solubility + pH 😅

[@Chemistorian]

Great question! There are two main definitions for both acids and bases: 1) A Brønsted-Lowry acid is defined as a proton donor, and a Brønsted-Lowry base is defined as a proton acceptor. (Depending on your exam board, this might be the only definition you need). These kinds of acid-base reactions involve proton exchange. 2) A Lewis acid is defined as an electron pair acceptor, and a Lewis base is defined as an electron pair donor. These kinds of acid-base reactions involve covalent bond formation (not necessarily to a proton). Brønsted-Lowry acids/bases are all a subclass of Lewis acids/bases (so, essentially, all Brønsted-Lowry acids/bases can also be classed as Lewis acids/bases, but not necessarily the other way around). So, to answer your question, an electrophile (electron pair acceptor) is often called a Lewis acid, and a nucleophile (electron pair donor) is often called a Lewis base, but the crossover might not necessarily apply to Brønsted-Lowry acids (as electrophile/nucleophile reactions don't always involve proton exchange). I hope that makes sense, the terminology can get quite confusing! I'll add an acid/base video to the list. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello sir.. what app did you use to make this animated video?

[@Chemistorian]

I use DaVinci Resolve for all my videos.
