Organic chemistry: Ethers (1)

Organic chemistry: Ethers. Williamson ether synthesis (preparation of ethers via SN2); retrosynthesis. Digression on how to remember the Brønsted-Lowry and Lewis definitions of acids and bases. Cleavage of ethers with haloacid (HX). Effect of positive formal charges on reactivity. Effect of acid or base on reactivity.

@furyberserk salt, which is sodium chloride is a ionic bond. It has a scent. Therefore, what your high school teacher told you is wrong.

Nas - Ether

Honestly, if it wasn't for you I don't know where I would get the confidence to truly understand this material. You are one of a kind and love watching/learning the series of your videos! God bless!

My teacher in high school taught me that ionic bonds have no scent, but covalent bonds dooo!!!

this video is good

How do you draw CCC(C)COCC ignoring the H's ? I'ms stumped

OMG you have a nice clean board in these ones! You of all people deserve a nice chalkboard.

I know a kid who took organic 1 three times...at my school you have to start paying out of state tuition if you are taking a class for the third time...ouch.
