    Your precision of explanation is direct and to the point, your timing is perfect and well paced with no boring lulls or rushed zone-outs, and your warmth toward you students is expressed by your overall professional and positive attitude. We students are very lucky you are here. Many, many thanks Leah!

    Love your videos and the way you teach, Leah! I am wondering why you called the benzene a substituent during 6:32 in the video. I thought that would be the parent chain.

    In anethole , propene is taken as substituent group (ie as propenyl) in place of phenyl group , while iupac name of styrene is phenylethene where benzene ring is substituent group .So in first case priority is given to benzene ring while in other priority is given to double bond . Pls explain ma’am .. I am a bit confused

      Styrene is not an IUPAC name. It is an accepted common name

        January 24, 2015 at 10:15 am

        But phenylethene is an IUPAC name where benzene is treated as substituent group.But opposite in case of anethole …
