Hydrocarbon Derivatives: Crash Course Chemistry #43

Functional groups? Functional groups within functional groups? Hank takes today's Crash Course video to discuss some confusing ideas about Hydrocarbon Derivatives but then makes it all make more sense.

“It’s either an ether or an ester, either ester or ether, ether or ester either one, one or the other, either ether or ester!” 😂 This had me cracking up, so thankful for Hank Greene🙏

[SteveSimi]

You should do a crash course in organic chemistry...Hank you are literally the greatest teacher I've ever had!

[isa.sharif]

I studied this in school in the whole past month, and now you made it all fit in a 8:37 minutes long video.
School is so boring, and even more boring and useless when there are good videos like this one.

I just love hank- whenever I start dozing off, he cracks a joke. " Methanol absolutely will kill you"

5:20 - more than twice mate -__-'

[schlondpoofa]

i like it when he said amino acids which make up protein which make up you which is pretty important. i have never felt so important i love you hank

[Wilc]

having a BSc in chemistry, I could follow you without problems, but I can imagine others had to pause/rewind the video multiple times to understand it. Good of you to not explain things slowly, that is the magic of online videos! If you don't understand, just pause and rewind until you do!

[gokucrazy]

Organic Chemistry is like a fun puzzle and a lot of wordplay. When I solve organic chemistry problems, I feel like I'm sherlock holmes or something XD

[JTan-wuwg]

Cadaverine? Sounds good for an extreme metal band.

[infamous]

when you talk, chemistry makes sense. i wish you taught at my school.

[quantusmechanicus]

I'm in 9th Grade and using these videos to review for the finals. Very effective. Just drop me out of school and I'll watch these videos and I'll learn everything.

[rileypurcell]

Hank was right if you watch it twice it makes a lot more sense  

[anoli]

5:20 i swear if you watch this episode twice you will understand

[TechLaboratories]

It's nice that all the names of the functional groups are related.  Nice, that is, once you UNDERSTAND the groups.  On the other hand, it adds to the difficulty in learning their names, one of the biggest reasons many people struggle with organic chemistry, since they are so close that they are really, really easy to muddle in the brain, i.e. it takes a ton of brain work and repetition to keep those memory pathways separate instead of blurring into on big mush of carboalcoacetonahyde...

Flubber!

Robin Williams is everywhere and rightfully so.

I don't know what a script supervisor does, but I always picture a stack of papers sprouting legs and trying to run off then that person grabbing it before it can get anywhere.

[Officer.K.]

I take a chemistry course in school and yet I don’t go into these videos with a revision session mindset. Instead I like to watch these out of curiosity. A wise man once said “you never learn something as profoundly as when it’s purely from curiosity”.

5:20 Watch episode twice, you will understand everything
Me*: Starts video from beginning

[celestesajik]

who else is watching this an hour before their exam?
