Introduction to reaction mechanisms | Alkenes and Alkynes | Organic chemistry | Khan Academy

Introduction to Reaction Mechanisms . Addition reaction to an alkene. Created by Sal Khan.

Organic Chemistry on Khan Academy: Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

That bromine had a very interesting story arc.

I'm disgusted that I spent so much for schooling, yet your intuition and teaching is not only free, but exceptional. Thank you once again !

Let us all devote a minute of silence in thanksgiving to Salman Khan and Rob Green, the two reasons that we can all pass our college classes.

If i was a multimillionaire i would make sure that these videos became known throughout the whole world. Damn you explain chemistry much better than anyone else i've experienced!

[racpatrice]

Khan Academy THANK YOU so much! The way this was explained was so simplistic...I was so confused until I saw this :)

[jeremybathan]

9 years later, and it still helps UP students get that much beloved 1.0 grade. Thanks so much.

After all atempts to learn chemistry;khan academy is best place for last and successful end

Professor: Read the book and study your notes for the test
me: you mean watch Khanacademy videos?

[Chris-rbox]

These videos are awesome. Seriously awesome. I understand organic chemistry from these way better than I do from chemistry lectures at college. Thanks for the help!!!

[ameer]

you are just awesome with your concepts and at the same time you can explain them
like a true genius. man u r just too good. keep up your good work. it really helps.

[chemistproffatima]

Thank u khan Academy very much, i am 13 yrs old and i learned this by ur vedio, it is a very NICE VEDIO

[kickfliper]

Awesome video, really great way of explaining mechanisms, but you should really put 'electrophilic addition' in the title so you know what you're looking at, for those who can't tell it apart from say an elimination reaction

[HasanHasan-sgdf]

THERE IS NO WORD IN THIS WORLD CAN DESCRIBE YOU PROFESSOR
I SALUTE YOU FROM

[TheMiiirna]

just what I need for my next week exam - a nice voice to explain all the important stuff and mechanisms. respect.

[Kanbei]

Quite unusual how the name of the mechanism isn't noted though. For anyone wondering its electrophilic addition

[FootballUndercover]

I really don't know how to thank you... God bless you and your work

[maryhara]

Wow
I've finally understood 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Thanks

[highlander]

I have to take an O-chem test for a job and the last time i took o-chem was 12 years ago! These videos are fantastic!

[omeryugenkorat]

Thank you so so much. You have just made another needlessly enigmatic topic crystal clear.

[MrNura]

How do you know about EVERYTHING!!Thx man genious
