Drawing Skeletal Structures of Organic Molecules (Organic Chemistry Basics Part 2)

This Leah4sci tutorial teaches you how to draw organic molecules using line structure or skeletal structures, how to read/understand and count the atoms in this new structure, and how to convert back from a skeletal structure to a Lewis Structure or Condensed Molecule Structure

Many students struggle with organic chemistry because they try to memorize rather than understand the concepts and mechanisms. My goal is to break down the concepts so that you can understand and apply them to your homework, quizzes and exams

I will be creating quizzes to help you study the concepts in this quiz. These will be available on my website shortly

@fimbles678 organic molecules are free to rotate in space and on paper, as long as you are consistent with your naming/numbering it doesn't matter if you draw right ot left or left to right

@TheJmacaroni

see my video on hybrid orbitals

let me know if you still have questions after

hi, great work!

i just wanted to know when to use methyl

ethyl and propyl does it mean something like :

methyl (1)

ethyl (2) propyl(3) from the parent chain?

You're amazing, this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the good tutorial, helped someone who is in a biology class with little background in chemistry.

At 9.47 (working backwards), when you wrote the condensed structure from the lewis structure, you wrote it from the 5th carbon to the 1st carbon (left to right) CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH(CH3)CH3. So do we always write the condensed structure from left to right? Or do we write it from the 1st carbon to the last (in this case from the 1st C to the 5th in the parent chain) i.e. CH3CH(CH3)CH(CH3)CH2CH3 Or doesn’t it matter which direction we write it?

I LOVE YOU. I REALLY REALLY DO. THANK YOU >:D<

thaaaaaaaaankuuuuuuuuuuuuuu so muchhhhhhhh! :D :D this helped me alot :)

Thank you so much! Your videos are amazing :]

But one question, how do you tell when it's necessary to hybridize an atom? Hahaha I'm bad at this, my apologies..
