Subject: AIThis episode introduces artificial intelligence (AI), differentiating between strong AI (general, human-level intelligence) and narrow AI (focused on specific tasks like image recognition). It contrasts traditional programmin...

Subject: Organic ChemistryThis deep dive explains relative and absolute configurations in stereochemistry, focusing on how to determine them. Relative configuration compares a molecule to a reference molecule, while absolute configurati...

Subject: Organic ChemistryConfigurational isomers, unlike conformational isomers, require bond breaking to interconvert. The deep dive focuses on two main types: enantiomers, which are nonsuperimposable mirror images with identical prop...

Subject: Organic ChemistryIsomers, molecules with the same formula but different atom arrangements, are classified into structural and stereoisomers. The focus of this deep dive, conformational isomers, a type of stereoisomer, arise fro...

The IUPAC naming convention (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is a systematic method for naming chemical compounds to ensure consistency and clarity worldwide. Here is an overview of the rules and guidelines for naming ...
