Good video :), Your videos are my revision with the exam tomorrow :p,

All these comments are months old, maybe I should have started soonnerr :(

[abclol3kid]

wow your videos are pretty straight forward and basic but its still dam helpful thanks a bunch bro...

[freakyleon]

THANKS

[justin2293]

does it necessarily need an alkyl group to stabilize the positive charge?

[1nkay]

No I'm Starting my undergraduate degree in chemistry and its the first time I've heard of this rule!!

[lfcandpo]

i finsihed my gcse and just started as chemistry. is it bad if i dont understand this video?

[domefev07]

Thank you so much! :) I have an exam about this tomorrow :D

[GreenlandCat]

thhhhhhhhaaaaaannnnnkkkkk yooooouuuuu

[AssilalOmega]

but the thing i dont understand is when we do practical work for the alkene test there will be a colorless solution that wont help us ...how do i know that the test is successfull?

[himajabhatt]

but won't the c+ be neutralised anyways when it bonds with the br- ??
