Isomers

This video looks at many of the possible isomers that share the molecular formula C6H12O. All of the possible aldehydes and ketones are included.

This video explains how optical stereoisomerism arises, how it can be detected using a polarimeter and how it may be used to analyse certain reaction mechanisms.

This video looks at the naming of esters and at the isomers of C6H12O2. It considers esters and carboxylic acids as functional group isomers and goes on to show that there are many other isomers as well where the molecules have more than one functional group.

One in a series of videos on haloalkanes (alkyl halides), it looks at the structures and names of the 11 isomers of bromopentane (C5H11Br). That includes both structural and optical isomers.

One in a series of videos on haloalkanes (alkyl halides), it looks at the structures and names of the 26 isomers of bromohexane (C6H13Br). That includes both structural and optical isomers.

This video looks at the physical properties of esters. It considers the trends in their boiling points and compares them with their functional group isomers - carboxylic acids. It also makes a brief reference to their lack of miscibility with water.
