  • perfect xpanation mr.khan ... it worked very beautifully

  • this man is so wrong..

  • @qrais

    How so? Can you explain what and where he's wrong other than the reason FUNKtshnl pointed out?

  • @qrais he is not wrong. either you have no idea about organic chemistry (or at least ketone naming) or I haven't noticed his mistake(s), which I would be greatful if you could point out my good sir.

  • @qrais Jealous much?

  • thank you so much this is aweseome!!!

  • Love your voice and use of colours! Great explanations, too. Please keep 'em coming!

  • Thanks for the videos. You have helped me get through Organic Chemistry and you are helping me get into nursing school. Thank you so very much!!!

  • @khanacademy

    You say at 4:19 that you order the alkylchains in order of their length; after the IUPAC nomenclature is the correct order the alphabetical one (butyl [4], decyl [10], ethyl [2], heptyl [7], hexyl [6], methyl [1], nonyl [9], octyl [8], pentyl [5], propyl [3] ... once I started :D).

    So your example is alright but in general the IUPAC way is correct.

  • Thank you!

  • The only thing they taught us about ketones in Paramedic school is that it's not good to function on ketone energy.

    Ketones take over when you haven't eaten for a while.

    Your wife will know way more about them than I do when relating them to medical science.
