Special Topic 1A: IUPAC Naming and Chemical Properties of Matter

The purpose of this video is to help second-year organic chemistry students review the concepts and questions that most frequently appear on standardized entrance exams, like the MCAT, DAT, PCAT, and GRE. In this video I\u27ll teach you how to produce IUPAC names for simple organic molecules and recognize the IUPAC suffixes for different functional groups, as well as how to identify any atom\u27s hybridization and explain, in terms of atomic and molecular orbitals, what that actually means. --Dr. Mike Christiansen from Utah State University
