Huckel's Rule: aromatic vs. antiaromatic (6)

Organic chemistry: How to use Huckel's Rule to determine whether a molecule is aromatic, antiaromatic, or nonaromatic.

These videos are offered on a "pay what you like" basis. You can pay for the use of the videos at my website:
http://www.freelance-teacher.com/videos.htm

For a list of all the available video series, arranged in suggested viewing order, go to my website.

These videos are designed to help students who are finding the material difficult, so I go very slowly, with lots of repetition and examples. If you don't find this material difficult, you might be very bored by these videos and might prefer to learn straight from a textbook.

Here is a playlist containing all the videos in this series:

(1) The rule for determining hybridization
(2) The rule for determining hybridization, concluded
(3) The exception to the rule for determining hybridization
(4) What are the valence orbitals of hybridized atoms?
(5) "Flat", "cyclic", "completely conjugated"
(6) Counting pi electrons
(7) Counting pi electrons--harder problems
(8) Counting pi electrons--more problems
(9) Counting pi electrons--more problems
(10) Counting pi electrons--more problems
(11) Counting pi electrons--even more problems
(12) Counting pi electrons--rings with substituents
(13) Counting pi electrons--polycyclics
(14) Counting pi electrons--radicals; and a puzzle
(15) Counting pi electrons--triple bonds
(16) The lesson from triple bonds
(17) A deeper look: why do the rules work?
(18) A deeper look, continued
(19) A deeper look: Why is there an "exception to the rule" for hybridization?
(20) A deeper look: Why "flat"?
(21) A deeper look: Why "4n+2"? Molecular orbitals
(22) Why "4n+2"? Frost diagrams
(23) Why "4n+2"?
(24) Why "4n+2"?
(25) Why "4n+2"?

You are such a talented young teacher! Don't ever leave us! Thank you and God bless you!

[kevon5725]

Thank you so much. You are a gift from God. I wish i had found you sooner! You should def. be a professor, there are so many un-interested chem teachers now a day. Thank you so much!

You're great at explaining. Thank you so much for making all of these.

Thank you so much...I wish I have professor who actually teach rather than finding excuse stating that the best method of learning is group work.

You are awesome, sir! Thank you very much!

Thank you SO much! I never understood this until now :D And I have an O chem exam coming up within 2 days!!!!!!! You're amazing. I've watched almost all your videos. Keep up the good work! Again, thanks SO much!!!

honestly, i don't understand why all professors cant teach like this.. my prof should be taking notes from this guy..

[jaymayhoi]

why are the lone pairs counted as pi electrons? The definition of pi electrons said here are side to side overlapping p-orbitals so doesn't that mean it needs to overlap with another atom's p-orbitals to count as pi electrons?

thank you so much! I really understood this concept after watching your videos. keep up the good work! you are really impacting the lives of so many students. O chem is hard, but you make it easy :) :)

[Learnastro]

You ARE REALLY GOOD!

Mister, You rock my o-chem WORLD!
