Description

https://joechem.io/videos/9 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we'll take a look at a bunch of different functional groups you'll encounter in your organic chemistry career. Again, there is a bit of annoying memorization here, but I guarantee two things: One, on your first test, learning these will earn you some easy points. Two, if you don't commit these to memory now, you'll get tripped on little things later down the line when we start doing real organic chemistry and reactions WITH these various functional groups. So bear down a bit, learn them now and make some new organic friends.

    Hey Joe! I was wondering if you had any videos on octane rating? Thanks!

    Hi Joe, Thanks for the great explanation! I was wondering if the oxygen in the amide should have 2 lone pairs. It's not drawn in the video, does it not need to be drawn?
