• explain the properties within and between the homologous series of alkanes with reference to the intermolecular and intramolecular bonding present
• explain the properties within and between the homologous series of alcohols with reference to the intermolecular and intramolecular bonding present
• explain the properties within and between the homologous series of carboxylic acids amines and amides with reference to the intermolecular and intramolecular bonding present

Hi Science ready, this is very thorough video. I didn't know about the resonance on the amides. Its above ATAR requirements for Qld, and its only HL not SL for IB. You did miss dimers though. I teach dimers for both ATAR and IB and it is verified in the research journals for carboxylic acids and amides. The increased ionic character from resonance in amides would just make the dimers work better. Need to add dimers I feel. BTW EN difference in carbonyl group C vs O is 0.8 which is the same as the N vs H (0.8) so the explanation is insufficient based on EN difference. Might be because of the fact it is a double C=O not single? (Again we are probably going past the limits of HS chemistry). Cheers.
