Love your textbook Dr. Vollhardt!

wats the liquid inside the test tubes gennerally called?

[blackdragon7752]

To nicklinkzelda: I'm trying to wrap my head around it right now too, but apparently when cyclic sp2 hybridized compounds get large enough, they adopt a conformation that is not planar. In the cyclooctatetrene example, it does in fact adopt the boat conformation. Since it isn't planar, it is not aromatic.

[VargFarkas]

I can't get it why cyclooctatetrene is a boat andnot a chair?

[nicklinkzelda]

I know it has been 8 months since you asked this, but you should know by now that sp2 hybridized carbons are flat and would therefore be in neither the chair or the boat. You typically are only faced with chair and boat conformations when you have cycloalkanes.

[VargFarkas]

And is Cyclooctatetraene always a boat? Is it a exeption? Why not a chair I thought the chairs were more stable?

[VargFarkas]

where "n" is a natural number, not any number.

I'm studying chemistry and I use the textbook by Peter Vollhardt :-)

Great to see him!

[KieMaker]

nice

[omgu8mynewt]

im 18 and studying chemistry, i understood this until about 5 minutes in lol

[kidoleyangu]

This professor is amazing.Thanks for this work.

awesomeeee videoooooo

Looks Like this Guy Wants to Talk What is Interesting to him.

[flach99]

you should see a person who's talking about what's boring him. its realy no better. chemistry is too wide to talk about a level without interest in it

[kidoleyangu]

nice 2 cents
