Organic chemistry to review for biochemistry (almost full video - missing redox)

Organic chemistry to review for biochemistry. You should be able to...
* Draw Lewis structures for common elements
* Predict how many bonds common elements will form
* Know what charges common elements can take
* Know periodic trends in size & electronegativity
* Predict bond and molecular polarity
* Recognize implicit carbons & hydrogens recognize implicit loan pairs
* Draw resonance structures
* Remember your arrow pushing! - start from electrons, a pi bond, or lone electron(s)
* Identify & draw key functional groups and know their common reactivity
* Interpret stereochemistry representation
* Recognize stereoisomers
* Recognize nucleophiles & electrophiles
* Compare/predict strength of nucleophiles
* REMEMBER we’re in an AQUEOUS environment (protic solvent)
* Draw arrow pushing mechanisms for simple substitution and elimination reactions

I forgot to include redox here, but you can find it in this newer video:    • O-chem for biochem: Redox Review (rec...  

In this video, I review each of these and include practice problems. So be prepared to pause and try to work through them before I reveal the solutions.

I’m planning to also split this video up into shorter videos by topic. And I made it for my students to know what they should know and then review the parts they feel they need to review, so some of it (e.g. when I say what I’d expect them to be able to do) won’t be directly to others, but still thought I’d share in case other people would still find it helpful and even the not-directly-applicable parts can still give you an idea of the types of questions you might get, etc.

As always, hope this helps!
