Huckel's Rule: aromatic vs. antiaromatic (1)

[stevenk113]

You kinda look like Bill Gates haha, not intending it to be an insult, more a compliment actually. Thanks for the help!

[bgoodies]

YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE

[bertolli516]

Wish this guy was my prof, instead i got some guy who can barely speak english

[kokocipher]

ok, I'm donating <3

[gmsweet1]

OMMMGGGGGGGG I LOOOOOVEEEE YOUUUUU!!! PLEASE MOVE TO ENGLAND AND TEACH ME ALL THE CHEMISTRY IN THE WORLD. I ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH THIS....SEEMS SOO EASY AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO. THANK YOU SOO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU X

[TheLovelogic]

Thnx 4 this videosssss...

[oranrene]

This is like dora the explorer for o-chemists.

[pernellcook0508]

honestly... ur the reason I aced my final Dude!!

[jaymayhoi]

thank you so much! knowledge is enlightenment!!!

[gigggles1022]

Thank you sooooooo much for your videos!!!! I love how easy you make it to understand!!!! Thanks

[fluffypuffy01]

THAAANNNKK YOOUU!!! OMG u have just given me a lightbulb moment and everything makes sense now XD no more guessing :D

[RueDeFell]

totally awesome!!!!! thank you! way better than my o chem teacher!

[Diarrhea315]

0 for N works too..

[tiiinkerbellle]

hey i have a question,

why is tetralin considered to be aromatic? if a compound has part of it aromatic, is it still considered to be aromatic then?

[chelseamcdowell]

You. Are. Amazing.

[IVdaaze]

Khan, three degrees from MIT and one from harvard business, offers free lessons on this. You expect to be paid? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[hkpopfan4lif3]

@IVdaaze

Khan speaks in circles, going back and forth between things. Completely incoherent when explaining things. I know cause I tried watching his Diff E videos

this guy is terse and clear

3 degrees doesn't mean you're a good teacher

[Rgvfan12]

@IVdaaze fuck u

[Epifrin]

@IVdaaze No need to be rude. They're both excellent teachers. I watched many chemistry videos of both. I find FreelanceTeach's videos easier because he repeats himself and covers much more material.

[indigestable1]

thanks a bunch sir!!

[knotnyce]

what kind of a person would dislike this?? -_____-

[skihighdon]

can't thank you enough. i need all the luck i can get for my ACS final.

[confused7982]

I like these videos because you make me feel like i'm watching Dora the Explorer when you ask a question and then pause..hahah

But anyways, thank you so much for posting these videos! They are really helpful!!!

[SweetRush21]

@8:30 you mention that some elements from the left hand side of the periodic table are open to the concept of incomplete octets. I believe you meant the right hand side of the periodic table, but what you meant to say was the left hand "P block" elements are open to incomplete octets.

I was just watching this as a review before going into conjugated dienes and electrophilic attack, and I wanted to help clarify.

[leiram1305]

awesome .. i wish you were my professor ..

i'm a chemistry student and you are really helping me out ..

thnx a lot ..

[blaccksky]

i wish u were my prof instead...

[Sonolumino8939]

Let me make love to you

[tran61021]

next time i have money in my paypal i'll be sure to send your way. thanks sir

[TrueVideo]

You rule!

[perezb4]

I love you:) you are the best!!!!

[davide290]

I wish I had found you in my first year university...

[ulfy01]

I was breaking my head around this concept. You just made it crystal clear in less than 2 minutes. Thank you.

[miladdelpiero]

thank u so much for this video

[vheeyel]

woah.. i badly need this.. thank you sir.. CAN YOU BE MY DAD?? LOL. hahaha..

[Aleksi535]

I agree. He is great!!! However, I have sent him a message and he has not replied yet. I have a great idea, and I wanted to get his opinion on it, but not the right moment to share it on you-tube. See!!! There are 2 more people, who believe that we should have more teachers like him. I got an A and A- in both of my upper division O-chem classes, and I can't say that it was all due to Steve, but there were times that I was lost and his ways showed me the way.

[tmacsux]

this helped a lot THANX

[DeloBrown]

awesome video, you have so many examples!

[Saviiiiiiiii]

i have an exam today on this and this is REALLY helping :D thank you !

[MsScott07]

You are a great teacher. I love the way you give examples for better understanding. You take your time and explain it thoroughly. I can definitely use you as an instructor. Please keep posting videos. They are very helpful to people who have a hard time understanding chemistry like myself. A++

[goddardmg]

Amazing and simple why aren't you teaching in my classroom???? Come to ODU!

[daviidniu90]

thank you soo much this helped me understand...better then my professor

[SSJkiller]

dude I love you

[DarkBlade75]

great vid ++

[Aleksi535]

I must learn more about Steve, but just doing what he has done so far already shows his dedication to education and just his personal greatness. I personally have helped 100 of students in my own classes when he teacher were not there or were unable to explain something. Soon I will be getting my BA degree in the sciences and I feel that I have to just float away and I can't contribute because the system requires you to have 100 Ph.D. degrees but they never ask you if you can teach or no!!!

[Aleksi535]

Hi, All. First of all, I musts say that I am speechless with respect to his teaching methods!!! And I thought I was good!!!!! However, I must add that I have been observing a trend. Now everybody say that he should be teaching and that you guy would like to have him as a teacher. But, either people are duped by the system or just don't have a way to approach this problem, but why don't you guys demand your schools to have a superb instructor like him teach at their schools????

[anthropofagos]

marry mr big geek

[ajones24ful]

You are AWESOME!!!! I watched your R and S configuration video and it changed my life :)

[MyAcarvalho]

You are great!!! Thank you :)

[PcfstGrB]

You're amazing. I wish you were my OCHEM professor over the ones I have at UCSD.

[bettypants81]

I'm on o-chem 1 and we have a homework problem that addresses this topic, but between 2 text books we haven't found a single mention of Huckel's Rule. This is a better explaination than I could have hoped for and is so incredibly clear and complete. THANK YOU!!! Keep up the fantastic work, sir. :)

[jman7152]

fyi aromaticity isn't covered until the second semester of orgo when you cover Benzene.

[wehrmanj]

@jman7152 I'm taking a 5 week summer orgo 1 class right now, and we've just started doing aromatics, I think it all depends on the school and instructor's pace. Though I should also note that I bought orgo 1 for dummies and it includes aromatics as well.

[trum2011]

Thanks so much! You are a much better teacher than my professors, who are Yale Nobel Laureates..

[heroinheroiscool]

how can the carbon in H-C=-C-H have a sp hybridized orbital when each P bond in the triple bond between carbons is individual (one sigma and 2 pi) and then plus the P bond to hydrogen

[ocimy]

Hydrogen doesn't have p orbitals. It's easier to think of inear molecular geometry having sp hybridization.

[Cheezitmeister]

Awesome explanation! Love the pauses so you can think, also even does a nice review from stuff you should already know from chap. 1.

[zzanzak]

Thank You

[anamcutie]

thanks alot!! i couldn't do well in organic chem in my 11th n 12th grade because of which couldn't clear any entrance to a college. thanks . your lectures are really helpful in clearing my basics. thanx alot.

[TomboyCactus101]

The great thing about video lectures is that you can repeat the part you don't understand over & over till you get it. This totally helped. Thank you

[teleiwne21]

if it is aromatic then yes it is a whole number (integer),

if it is propagator of 0.5 (ie: 1.5) then it is anti-aromatic...

[sanjose21ca]

WHAT THE HECK IS n?

[portialloyd123]

thank you!!

[hamrtime123]

the best.. i always go to my organic class which is taught with poogle excercies.. and your videos make me actully learn the material!

[hellomycognomen]

your vids are the best! i really like the way you explain everything with lots of examples and in simple terms, i wish you were my teacher!!

[OMNAIA]

very well explained ...thanksss

[ericshamp1]

I agree much slower!

[ButtersStoches]

Cheers, pinknoodle. Organic chemistry is ridiculous no matter how you slice it, and people willing to take the time to explain it are few and far between. I wish this guy had more videos, though, because our lecture series is about to fly by the topics he's covered.

[PinkNoodel]

Gee! Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. This helps really well because you go a lot slower than my 100 mph teacher. With these vids I can actually remember everything you say... Thank you!!!
