Organic Chemistry on Khan Academy: Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let’s make some beautiful organic molecules!
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We’ve also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

How does the neighbouring proton cause this interaction please explain
I cannot hear a word you said.
100x better than the Rutgers chem department
Great vid as always but I have one question: In 0:20 it’s been said that the n+1 rule applies only in equivalent proton but in 8:30 it’s been mentioned that equivalent ones do not show splitting. Can anyone please explain that part because it’s really confusing
Series of Videos helped me a lot. Also the presentation is really good to understand.
Brilliant
What do you mean by "a different environment"?
u are best sorry great
The protons on the ring aren't equivalent.
nice…!!
Thank you! you just saved my life!
Thank you for these videos, they helped out alot. One question: why do we only look at the neighboring protons? for example couldnt one of the red protons in the 2nd example add or subtract from the effective magnetic field felt by the other?
Thanks in advance.
''Hey neighbor!How many protons have you got?I need to know if you are splitting me!! 😛 Thanx guys!
Thanks for this series of video. It was really helpful. Khan academy rocks!!!
Question…. at 8:30, you mentioned that the protons in 1,2-dichloroethane are chemically equivalent – therefore, the neighboring protons do not result in spin-spin splitting (1 signal). You also mentioned that the neighboring protons in 2,3-dimethylbutane result in splitting, which I understand that each proton in this compound experience induced magnetic fields from each other, causing the signal split. Why can't this be the same case for the protons in the earlier compound? Did I miss something here? Please explain. Again, thanks so much for your wonderful and clear presentations! 🙂
Good one…thanks
Thanks for this video. It really helped.
