E/Z Absolute Configuration of Alkenes

It's EZ to assign E and Z absolute configuration to alkenes. Guess which convention we get to use? Cahn-Ingold-Prelog is back! Don't forget, zee zame zide. You have to say it with a German accent, or you lose points on the quiz.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

Since there's no equally fantastic OC Channel in german, I always watch your videos and its cute how you pronounce the german words in this one haha. Keep up the good work, you're great!

You explained a thing in 6.00 minutes what my professor wasnt able to do in 2 hours and still i undertood more during this 6 minutes than i did during the 2 hours. Thank you!

Just discovered theses OC videos and you do such an amazing job! Not only do you explain the topic clearly, but you answer all the questions, in advance, that I may have. You're super enthusiastic and these videos really did help me a lot!! Thanks Professor Dave :)

[Xannypack]

the first half of my semester in organic chemistry was so difficult :( now that i've found this channel all those lessons now seem easy. Thank you!!!

[DaLokNessMonster]

I watch your videos because I love your lil intro, you also explain things so well thanks a lot!!

6 years later & I am still learning from your YouTube channel, Tank you <3

[hananzbrower]

Thank you for using complicated examples like the ones you'd actually see on an exam!

[Evendur]

The E/Z nomeclature is the first thing in chemistry I saw where it helps to speak german :D And thank you very much, there aren't any good videos about organic chemistry in german ;) And btw, the way you pronounce "entgegen" sounds very authentic but the Z in "zusammen" is a bit too soft (as it often is used in the englisch language), but in german language, it sounds more like "tsusammen" if you know what I mean :D

ZEE ZAME ZIDE DAVE IS MY HERO AND MY SAVIOR

Something that my professor took 2 50 minute lectures to explain you did in 6 minutes and made it much more clear. Thank you sir.

[Siliziumwesen]

Jesus.. why I just dint watch your video instead of reading the crap my proffesor gave me... understood this in 6mins (Thank you Prof Dave!!)

[EmilyBenson]

You’re the best chemistry professor on YouTube!

[lucasmabokomabudu]

your videos really helps me to understand the chapter before i go into the study guide or any study material keep up the good work....may God bless you.

[lilynichols]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! Some of the other youtube videos that exist out there simplify it a little too much and I still don’t understand the complicated terminology that my professor/ book uses, but you use that nomenclature while still giving an in-depth explanation making it easy to understand!

[VerenaKing]

Thank you much! This is the first video I've watched that SIMPLIFIES it. Much appreciated!

Are'nt we supposed to consider atomic number instead of atomic mass?
