Organic Chemistry - Basic Introduction

This video provides a basic introduction for college students who are about to take the 1st semester of organic chemistry. It covers topics such as polar and nonpolar bonds, ionic & covalent bonding, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, bond length, bond strength, sigma & pi bonds, hybridization, formal charge, functional groups and drawing lewis structures.

This is the first time I have ever used the organic chemistry tutor for organic chemistry.

as a person who never formally studied organic chemistry i view chemists in very high regard. yall are like wizards to me. the power of your knowledge and skill is commendable. I think organic chemistry should be more encouraged in our culture. it amazes me how little most people know about chemistry. in fact most people are afraid of "chemical" yet are completely unaware that pretty much everything they see and touch is made of atoms arranged into chemical structures. the world we live in is made of chemistry. and chemists are the wizards that can rearrange the very fabric of the world we live in.

Dear OC Tutor, i had to visit a course about organic chemistry at university. I hated it and I failed the final exams twice. Failing a third time woul´ve meant that i had to stop my current studies and maybe start something else, the university simply would´nt allow me to continue with my current subject. So, after failing the second time I was nervous. One month to go until exams nr. 3. I stumbled upon your channel. I watched this video and it already helped me to understand some topics that i did not understand up to that point. I decided to study by simply watching your videos, listening to your explanations and trying to solve the examples that you give throughout your videos. You know what? I passed. Even 2 grades better than expected. I am so relieved and you as well as your channel made that possible for me. You helped me a LOT. Thank you so much!

love how after all of his guidance on every subject under the sun, we finally get his namesake

i'm so scared for organic chem this semester, i'll definitely be watching every video in this playlist! <3

I wanted to point out, in the event that this was not covered by someone else's confusion, that a hydrogen bond is an electrostatic interaction (either intra- or intermolecular) whereby a hydrogen bound to an electronegative atom like O, N, or F (called the h-bond donor), interacts with another electronegative atom (called the h-bond acceptor). The bond holding the hydrogens to oxygen in H2O are not hydrogen bonds; they are simply polar covalent bonds. The electrostatic interactions between adjacent water molecules, however, would fall in the realm of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds themselves are not covalent interactions, but rather a special type of electrostatic interaction known as Van der Waal's forces. I found this confusing when first viewing this video, and wanted to help anyone else who may be viewing it with similar confusion.

You are a pure genius! I want to thank you for teaching Organic Chemistry in a way I can understand it, I was clueless. I know I will pass Organic Chemistry with flying colors. I will be back in December 2023 and post my final grade. Keep me in prayers guys and good luck to all. He is a

A video about organic chemistry about a guy literally called The Organic Chemistry Tutor shouldn't be this surprising 😮

[pereboseregodknows]

You're amazing
The miracle to my chemistry.
I pray God blesses you more with strength, will, knowledge and peace with happiness
You did that for me in chemistry.

Oh my god whoever this person with this gentle voice is, THANK YOU!!! God, y'all don't even know how much I've been struggling with chemistry, I was DREADING chemistry class because I couldn't understand one single thing!! In 8th grade, I had an amazing teacher that made me love chemistry but when I went to Highschool I got a new teacher in 9th grade and I couldn't understand ANYTHING from her. That lady explains everything so so fast and I always felt behind and I had so many questions and I didn't even know what I had questions on. And now in 10th grade we started organic chemistry and I was always so confused on the sigma bonds and covalent and ionic things, I didn't understand when the polar/ non-polar thing happened, nothing. But luckily enough I found this video, genuinely THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A KIND HUMAN BEING and sharing your knowledge like this!! You just made me start enjoying and understanding chemistry again!

The hope I have when I hear this voice 🥺thank you for making my life so easy.

[kumarutsav]

Dear sir i don't know how to thank you, but i have a huge respect and love for you . I am currently a standard Xll student and i knew nothing about organic chemistry before these videos . I wanna thank you sir a millions of times .our teachers in the class didn't teach the basics and they just say to memorize the whole organic chemistry. Sor today i gonna know what is polar bonds and when carbon forms double and triple bonds . Thank you sir, lots of love to you and your family. Love from india 🇮🇳

I loved Organic Chemistry and am sad I forgot a lot of it (took 3 years of it in undergrad). This video is a great refresher to remember some of it :)

This Guy is My hero I lost Faith in Physics, Chemistry and Math during High school but this Guy restored the faith in Me Thanks so much organic chemistry tutor

[mikereadey]

Wish I'd known about electronegativity values, specifically the 0.5 difference for polarity etc. Rather than just being told it just is, when studying in 6th form. More depth to a subject actually makes it easier to learn not less. Best Tutor on Youtube!

after years of watching the organic chemistry tutor for gen chem and math, i am finally watching an organic chemistry video. a real full circle moment.
