Drawing Skeletal Structures of Organic Molecules (Organic Chemistry Basics Part 2)

[alphinvincent]

hi, great work!

i just wanted to know when to use methyl

ethyl and propyl does it mean something like :

methyl (1)

ethyl (2) propyl(3) from the parent chain?

You're amazing, this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

@fimbles678 organic molecules are free to rotate in space and on paper, as long as you are consistent with your naming/numbering it doesn't matter if you draw right ot left or left to right

Thanks for the good tutorial, helped someone who is in a biology class with little background in chemistry.

At 9.47 (working backwards), when you wrote the condensed structure from the lewis structure, you wrote it from the 5th carbon to the 1st carbon (left to right) CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH(CH3)CH3. So do we always write the condensed structure from left to right? Or do we write it from the 1st carbon to the last (in this case from the 1st C to the 5th in the parent chain) i.e. CH3CH(CH3)CH(CH3)CH2CH3 Or doesn’t it matter which direction we write it?

@TheJmacaroni

see my video on hybrid orbitals

let me know if you still have questions after

[TheJmacaroni]

Thank you so much! Your videos are amazing :]

But one question, how do you tell when it's necessary to hybridize an atom? Hahaha I'm bad at this, my apologies..
