You are such a good teacher. I am so thankful for your videos. They have taught me more in a few minutes than burying my head in my book for HOURS UPON DAYS!

nice video sir

Wouldn't the second molecule CH3BrHCBrHCCH3 be a meso molecule? Rotation of the C-C middle bond will give it achirality.

lol he just dissapears

[arabsparow]

LOL u shawged on the girl

[AllKindsOfFolk]

Therefore the tutor is correct!

@drbolaadly I don't know whether it is relevant now, but I believe you are rotating the molecule 180 degrees, and not rotating it's mirror image. If you draw out its mirror image you cannot superimpose by rotating 180 :)

awkward silence at 3:11

Thank you so much! You are so amazing!

[Herb19tyt]

you're the best xD

Enantiomers did not make sense until - 8:25

im not looking forward to this class
