    Hydrogen Bonding Explained in Two Minutes

    In this 2-minute podcast on Hydrogen Bonding on CurlyArrows 'Learning Chemistry with Sibi', we will learn how this weak-but-mighty force works, and why it only happens with H attached to O, N, or F. Hydrogen bonding is why water is a liquid, and our DNA stays twisted in that perfect double helix.

    Podcast - Polar and Non-Polar Covalent Bond

    In this podcast, we will look at how the distribution of two electrons between two atoms in a covalent bond gives rise to a bond type based on polarity, creating two variants: polar and nonpolar covalent bonds. These covalent bond types are essential in organic chemistry, as they are responsible for various molecular interactions, solubility, and transformations.  This excerpt is part of the chapter Bonding in Atoms, part of the Organic Chemistry Fundamentals study program.  Original Article   Study Program on Organic Chemistry FundamentalsCurlyArrows has created a beginner's guide - Organic Chemistry Fundamentals covering 14 fundamental chapters required to master organic chemistry reactions.

    Podcast - Acids | Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis

    In this audio, we will cover the basic vocabulary related to acids, Lewis, Bronsted-Lowry, and Arrhenius. We will also see how the strength of an acid is measured using Ka values, and try to understand what a conjugate acid-base pair is. We will also discuss polarizability and the hard-soft acid-base concept.

    Podcast - Lone Pair: Chemistry's Quiet Influencers | CurlyArrows

    The world of the atoms can seem strange and counterintuitive, governed by probability. Still, we can't help but see parallels when we try to grasp their world through the lens of our own. In the language of chemistry, lone pairs are an atom's valence shell electrons that took part in hybridization but evaded the covalent bond formation with other atoms.  Lone pair is covered in detail in the chapter Fundamentals of Organic Reactions where we discuss various bond formation theories and other covalent bond properties.

    Podcast - Differences between prefixes n-, iso-, neo-, sec-, and tert in Organic Chemistry | CurlyArrows

    Common names were the earliest attempts to identify compounds, which were later followed by a systematic, rule-based IUPAC nomenclature system. Prefixes like n-, iso-, neo-, sec-, and tert- are part of those retained common names that are sometimes used to identify and distinguish between branched and unbranched structures.   Complete Comparison  Organic Chemistry Fundamentals Course identifies 14 early concepts required to master organic chemistry reactions comprising of 14 carefully crafted, simplified, illustrative, and descriptive chapters. Subscribe to Introductory Organic Chemistry

    Podcast - Conformations in Organic Chemistry | CurlyArrows

    Single bonds have an absolute privilege and exclusivity to show bond rotations, a prime reason behind various conformations in organic chemistry. Conformations are various interconvertible arrangements, or shapes molecules adopt due to their flexibility to undergo bond rotations. The molecules' identity remain the same throughout these rotations. Conformational isomers are covered extensively under the branch of stereochemistry that considers molecular shapes and studies their reactions.  Subscribe to Introductory Organic Chemistry
