The only 2 organic chemistry reaction mechanisms you need to know to do ALL OF MCAT BIOCHEMISTRY!!

I love how you yelled at me the whole time but especially on the make a bond BREAK A BOND. Thanks this was great

[haahayley]

2 nights before my MCAT and i truly cannot thank you enough for the smiling i did every time i heard you say break a bond. thank u

[Clevemac]

“And WE DID IT! We FORMED a bond and we BROKE a bond!”

I cannot get enough of this guy. You are excellent Science Simplified.

Probably the best MCAT video I've ever seen tbh 10/10

[aslaans.]

2 days before my exam and this legit saved my sanity thank you so much

[ada]

What have I learned? "YOU FORMED A BOND, THEN YOU BREAK A BOND!!!!"

We should take these electrons, and push them somewhere else.

I thought I was still watching my lectures on 1.5 speed but nope it's just you lol, thanks for beating this concept into me! Great video

form a bond break a bond
FORM A BOND BREAK A BOND!!!

[Strvnpeace]

Ahhh yes, thank you! Sometimes you just have to yell at people until you're blue in the face for them to get it. I am one of those people!

Is there a reason for the phosphate reaction that the bond on the right is broken rather than the bond on the left. I would expect the bond on the left to be broken more easily since there is more mass on the left chain and thus making it slightly more electronegative than the bond on the right of the phosphate.

I lovee this video and also loved how entertaining it is when he yelled at us but so... What's the penultimate 2 reactions he said in the video title that is all we need to know for all of MCAT biochemistry?!! I still can't figure it out.. Is it literally 1) Form a bond, and 2) Break a bond?! LOL. (go ahead and laugh, im prob that dumb student that didnt get it despite the lecturer yelling at us the whole lecture lol)

It call 1, 2 addition guy!! Just remember that ! Or you can say (in up, down out) but remember it only down out when there is a alkyl halide group!

[josphellihsilak]

Wait, what happens when you form a bond?

[gabbynewman]

my fav part of this video is "TRIGIONAL"

[bloop]

how do you know which bond is broken/what molecule becomes the leaving group?

[jameyatesmauriat]

Do you do all organic chemistry in your channel for mcat?

[xavi]

could these be classifies as addition elimination rxns

[asad]

Please make sure your videos are zoomed in. Some of the stuff is too small to see. Thanks

The drawing software you were using was amazing, can you let me know what software was that?
