Carbocation Stability - Hyperconjugation, Inductive Effect & Resonance Structures

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into carbocation stability. It discusses hyperconjugation and the inductive effect of electron donating groups and electron withdrawing groups. It also discusses carbocation stability using resonance structures.

Please never stop doing what you are doing. You help people become doctors, pharmacists and scientists. You're a blessing!

[hanifahsyifa]

this 11 minutes video explained the subject better than my 2 hours lecture... thankyou!

[paramvarsha]

A one and a half hour lecture converted into a 10 min video Thank you

[patrick]

you are literally the best tutor i've seen

[killermouse]

Hyperconjugation made literally no sense in class earlier, but watching you draw it out made it so plain and obvious I'm just like "oh...it's that simple....Lol"!

[wk-pwkj]

You are a remarkable teacher, you are one in the world !!!!

[lakep]

That last example was especially helpful, thank you!!

[ntombimatimba]

I am one of those university students who attend lecture classes because I want to be marked present on the register. Otherwise my real lecturer is this one🤗 no complications modules and topics, just a straight foward🤌🔥🤞

[ananyamalasane]

I am on my own for this chp… thank you so much ✨

at 2:25 for anyone curious, its actually because the sigma bond overlaps with the Pi star Antibonding Molecular Orbital specifically.

[kaumbatimothykuku]

When I have a day to go, I aways come here and trust me, I have always made it.

[hainguyenthithanh]

This video help me understand about radican stability and hyperconjugation. Thank you so much

[yahiatutuncu]

I am very thankful to you for your great work, thank you so much!

[galaxy]

how you make understand concepts no one goes near you. keep making such videos. And make video on every topic possible.

In the last example, why can't the double bond on the oxygen transfer electrons to the single C-C bond, negating the carbocation and giving the O a + charge??

2:26

How would the inductive effect apply to a methyl group considering there are no R groups attached to the carbocation?

[how-about-no_]

Hi, at 5:46 shouldn't 2 be less stable than 3 since 2 is antiaromatic, i.e. conjugation of 4 pi electrons?

[Biology_teacher]

Thank you, now I'm enjoying organic chem 🤝

[anthonygeorge]

at about 10:30, why can't we draw a resonance structure where one of the bonds from the Carbon oxygen bonds moves to form a double bond between the two carbons. In this case, oxygen will have the positive charge and both carbons will be neutral. Will this just not happen due to Oxygen's high electronegativity and because oxygen will no longer have an octet?

[ehtishamkhan]

you explain very well... no confusion is left when i listen to your videos...
