Orgo Basics Video Series: Video 1
Your organic chemistry professor will take it for granted that you have a solid understanding of bonding. Specifically the chemical nature of ionic bonds, polar covalent and non-polar covalent bonds.
These will be especially important once you start working through reactions because understanding bonds will help you recognize strong/weak bonds, and bonds that can or can't be broken.

Kylie says
After not doing so well on my first test, I decided to start studying hardcore way before my next test. I could kick myself for not finding these videos earlier. Tomorrow I am telling everybody I can in class about your videos. TOTAL lifesaver. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Leah4sci says
Awesome, Kylie! My pleasure!
Tristin says
Leah, you are literally my life saver! I was totally lost in my lectures in BioChem, and after watching your videos, I can grasp the concepts so much better, and feel confident about what I am doing! Thank you so much!
Leah4sci says
Great! You’re welcome, Tristin!

Very well put together website. Your videos are not too long & not too short. 9-14 minute long videos are perfect when trying to master a given concept. I not only appreciate the simplicity of your videos that are explaining tough concepts but also that this resource is free. After paying for college tuition, book, & lab fees it’s nice to see that you’re not trying to extort students who are already in a financial strain. Thanks again for you continued help.
