General chemistry review

Hybridization
It's the liger of orbitals and essential to organic chemistry! In this tutorial, Sal discusses the hybridization of orbitals.

Dot structures
In this tutorial, Jay reminds you how to draw the dot structures of simple organic molecules.

Hybrid orbitals
In this tutorial, Jay goes over sp3, sp2, and sp hybridization.

Electronegativity
What is the most important concept to understand in undergraduate organic chemistry? Of course, it's electronegativity! In this tutorial, Jay explains the concept of electronegativity and shows how it applies to polarity, intermolecular forces, and physical properties.

Organic structures and acid/base

Bond-line structures
Call them Bonds. Covalent Bonds. Smart chemists need time to stir (and shake) their solutions. In this tutorial, Jay explains how chemists use bond-line structures as a form of organic shorthand to skip time-consuming carbon and hydrogen atoms labeling. Watch this tutorial so you too can be in the Dr. Know.

Functional groups
In this tutorial, Jay puts the "fun" back into recognizing functional groups.

Formal charge and resonance
Positive and negative charges are everywhere in orgo! In this tutorial, Jay shows you how to assign formal charges to molecules and how to draw resonance structures.

Oxidation and reduction
LEO the Lion goes GERRRR!!!! If that is all that you remember about redox from general chemistry, then this tutorial is for you! Jay shows you how to assign oxidation states in organic molecules.

Acid/base
Do you remember the basics of acid/base chemistry? In this tutorial, Jay reminds you of a few definitions, shows you how the stability of the conjugate base affects the acidity of the molecule, and demonstrates the importance of pKa values.
