I've been getting consistent 40s and 30s on exams and quizzes in my organic chemistry class, and after taking notes of all of your videos I finally got my first 95 on an exam:, ) thank you so much, I really do appreciate it<3

[esotericgal]

Thank you so much for the work you do. I'm currently enrolled in an 8 week summer Organic Chemistry class. Your videos have saved me!

[Emily-imhu]

Ur videos help me so much! Thanks for all u do for the academic and scientific world!

[samantharosen]

first time i understood that you can either switch the wedges and dashes OR do mirror image. thank you!!

[chrisnguyen]

This channel deserves more subs than Pewdiepie lol

[OanhTo-fy]

I have biology exam tomorrow. You helped me a lot .

[imbatmanlol]

my chemistry professors (not orgo) is making us learn this stuff.... you gotta be kidding me. At least it makes it easier, thanks

[maxtong]

Oh my goodness girlfriend! So good! You helped me with IB HL Chemistry! I will totes recommend you to my besties!

[siyanastoyanova]

I finally understand enantiomers, thank you very much!!

[bigilpandi]

Nice voice dark colour intrested to learn organic short and clean crisp videofinest tutor in organic

[giladbauman]

How do I know if i should use th wedge or lines?

[arifemreagcan]

At 5:56 Why it is not like that: bromine is on the left side of the top of the structure, if it is mirror immage, it should be like I said?

[supreethakumar]

when do we swap the dot with the wedge and vice versa?

[joshuacrow]

Why is the Br on the wedge? Does the wedge always go to the highest priority compound?

[sophieh]

How can you distinguish between the 2 isomers 2-amino butane? What makes one + and the other - ? Thank you!!

[BanchiwosenEsatu]

I don't know how to tell. You are the best.

[buffylehman]

at 5:40 why would there only be one enantiomer instead of 4? shouldnt there be RR, RS, SR, and SS enantiomers if the original compound has two chiral centers?

[nurulamalinaa]

Please do the enantiomers for estradiol 🥺

[ابوسجاد-لت]

enantiomers have opposite
configurations at all chirality centers, whereas diastereomers have opposite configurations at some
(one or more) chirality centers but the same configuration at others.

[andrewjustin]

1:11 Aren't they meso compounds? I don't believe they are enantiomers, because if we assume there is a mirror in front of the compound on the left, it should have a mirrored image, implying the chiral chain that is on the backwards now should be on the front and vise versa, while those who are neither front or back should be the way they are.
