4 ) Plan and conduct an investigation to classify properties of matter as intensive (e.g., density, viscosity, specific heat, melting point, boiling point) or extensive (e.g., mass, volume, heat) and demonstrate how intensive properties can be used to identify a compound.

In this video, Hank introduces us to the world of organic chemistry and, more specifically, the power of hydrocarbon. He talks about the classifications of organic compounds, the structures & properties of alkanes, isomers, and naming an alkane by observing its structure.

Today Hank talks about the deliciousness of alkenes & alkynes, their structures, and how to remember which is which by simply knowing the alphabet. Also, he breaks down hydrogenation, halogenation, polymerization, and triglycerides all while helping us figure out the meaning of different names for fats.

In this video, Hank talks about aromatics and cyclic compounds and naming their substituents, resonance as well as common reactions & uses. What's that smell? Smell's like Organic Chemistry!

Liquids are everywhere, but at the same time, they possess some incredibly unique qualities when compared to the rest of the matter in the universe. In this episode of Crash Course Chemistry, Hank gives you information on things like London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonds, cohesion, adhesion, viscosity, capillary action, surface tension, and why liquids are just weird.
