  • How do you know about EVERYTHING!!Thx man genious

  • there's a huge difference between your teacher rushing through the material telling u that certain things "just happen" and actually explaining the steps and demonstrating why electrons behave this way. Thank you.

  • = O I actually learned.

  • Okay sal, it isnt like H-Br will go into water to dissociate into into H+ and Br- and then it attacks the c=c double bond so that an electron pair is transfered on one carbon. which gives one carbon a negative charge and another a positive charge. The H+ will be attracted to negative carbon and Br- to postive carbon. electron pair will shift on terminal carbon since alkyl grp has a repelling effect.........

  • what does he mean by hogging electrons

  • @goldensilverstar it means it attracts the shared electron in a covalent bond towards it self ( since nuclear charge on BR >> nuclear charge on H+)... thats what he means by hogging!!!

  • Nevermind i just watched the markovnikov video, #khanisgod

  • quick question about regioselectivity, why would the h attach to the left side of the double bond preceeding the bromide step, would they be able to be arranged vice versa?

  • @icemanbto see electron pair will be transferred on the left side...means h will be attached on the left side since its positive and attracted 2wards negative carbon... Why is electron pair shifted to left not right..... it suffers repulsion from electrons of alkyl grp (CH2-CH2-CH3) on the right side.........

  • "So now everyone is happy again" hahaha. Epic line :) btw, i really don't understand my chem teacher but his video rocks \m/ thank you so muuuch :3

  • how do you know so much abotu so many topics...ur amazing

  • You are the best Sal Khan!!!

  • Seriously love your work, please keep going, you're the best teacher I've ever come across! Thanks a lot!

  • hey dudes...how can I make 3D reaction mechanisms??that with stiks and balls...where we can see how links get broken and new ones are made??plz help a link or a name??plz

  • haha 10:25 so now everyone is happy again!

  • you are just awesome with your concepts and at the same time you can explain them

    like a true genius. man u r just too good. keep up your good work. it really helps.

  • Thank u very much , the best vid. ever , but do you have vids about ( dieens, and allyl systems) and (conjugation and aromaticity) (substitution reactions of aromatic compounds) ?

  • how much does an atom like to hug electrons!? HAHAHA

    thanks!

  • @milkiorange "hog" not hug

  • Better than my chemistry teacher explains to me!!

  • Quite unusual how the name of the mechanism isn't noted though. For anyone wondering its electrophilic addition

  • Thank you, truly.

  • great you're the best

  • Twice the same video, Sal?
