Mr. Key outlines how to identify, name*, and represent hydrocarbons containing multiple bonds. Cycloalkanes, geometric and structural isomers are also discussed.
*Note that to match the textbook used by my students, when naming hydrocarbons with multiple bonds, the systematic approach of putting the position number before the prefix is used (e.g. 2-butene), rather than the recently preferred IUPAC method (e.g. but-2-ene).
Please note that all questions, comments and critiques are welcome. However, because the primary purpose of these videos is educational for students/educators, the comments are moderated. Any comments that are deemed abusive, inappropriate, or unrelated to the topic matter will not be posted and the user potentially blocked.
