Description

How to assign oxidation states to carbon in different compounds

Organic chemistry

Sal and Jay cover topics covered in college organic chemistry course. Basic understanding of basic high school or college chemistry assumed (although there is some review).

Counting electrons

Aspiring chemists need to be able to count electrons. Without this ability, your days as a chemist would be numbered. In this tutorial, you will learn how to count electrons to assign formal charges and oxidation states. Both forms of "electron bookkeeping" are important concepts to understand for organic reactions.

Topic: Science

Learn about all the sciences, from physics, chemistry and biology, to cosmology and astronomy…
