Nomenclature and properties of esters | Organic chemistry | Khan Academy

How to name esters and how to analyze their physical properties. Created by Jay.

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.

I wish Khan had an ester naming video that was focused on IUPAC naming instead of common naming

[hamadkadventures]

Common names are useless in a lot of exams, thank you do the video, it was quite informative :)

Useful for common knowledge and application, but useless for studying really, unless you're broadening you're general chem knowledge. IUPAC is a far more reliable naming system, should really be stuck to.
