Resonance Structures

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into drawing resonance structures. It explains how to identify the major resonance contributor as well as the minor resonance contributor based on stability. Here are a few key concepts to keep in mind: Negative charges are stabilized by electronegative atoms. Neutral resonance structures are more stable than those with separation of charges. Tertiary carbocations are more stable than secondary and primary carbocations due to the inductive effect and hyperconjugation. Positive charges on carbon atoms are not stable due to the octet rule.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate that these videos are free. Usually we'd have to pay to get lessons that are this effective.

Taking organic chem over six weeks, in the Summer, is pretty rough... thank you so much for your videos, they've always been a great help but are really coming in clutch right now

Literally to the 1% who's reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.

This channel has taught me that it is possible to not attend a single lecture and learn everything you need to know for the midterm in one day.

You might not see this but if you do i really want to thank you because of you i passed my math GED test im still young and want to have a brighter future and math was my biggest struggle because of you i not only passed math but got a collage ready score Thank you so much

[szxnv]

appreciative of how much research you are doing to give these videos out for free :)

[englishlife]

Omg, I am literally studying this lesson at this time and I am suffering from it. You came at time tutor!

[laikalaika]

Oo man thank you ve saved my life from failing chemistry may god bless you ❤️

[screwface]

My exam is tmrw. Not all hero's wear capes.

[vincentmudimeli]

Your videos are helping me to learn chemistry keep the good work

Professor Organic Chemistry Tutor, thank you for a basic introduction/ analysis into drawing Resonance Structures in Organic Chemistry. Although I understand the basic of Resonance Structures, I am confused on how to identify major/minor resonance contributor based on the overall stability. This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube TV with the Organic Chemistry Tutor.

Your intellect has never ceased to amaze me.

[leanndinh]

This is golden material. I just appreciate this channel so much.. amazing quality

[mariam]

gang that study for tests just the day before it where u at

[jamestwining]

Thank you so much for what you do. These videos are a huge help in understanding these concepts.

[lalineramos]

thank you so much for your videos, I can understand the book of chemistry but after your videos is like everything comes together and makes sense

[prachiaharwal]

I am from India. I have found this video very useful. Thanks a lot for your struggles.

[linamohammed]

for real thank you so much you saved my future because the professor in school he couldn't make it as understandable as you

[Lpslocket]

Taking organic in 2 weeks definitely need a lot of review to make it through this.

[legendarygamer]

May God continue to bless you, you really have helped a lot of life
