Awesome videos. Helpful in inductive effect.

You said that CF3OH has a parent acid that is stronger (not Cf3Oh itself, but the parent acid). You also mention that CF3OH is a weaker conjugate base. So, how can it be a weaker conjugate base and a strong acid at the same time?

How can an element be known as the most electronegative by just looking at it? Does it depend on their emplacement in the periodic table?

Is the size of the atom more important than the electronegativity of the atom when studying inductive effects? For example, if you had two molecules that deprotonated leaving I- and O- (and the rest of the molecule is the same for both), which of the two ions is going to have a stronger inductive effect?

Does this course only cover the material of the first semester of Organic Chemistry?

I m confused , so F is the most electronegative , why negative charge on F is not the most stable when comparing with Br- CI- or I- ?

I like how Professor Starkey used people as an example it really helped me remember and think of them as something more

Hello professor Starkey, can you please explain the lewis structure behind the N02 of the topic (Inductive effect on Acidity). how do we get + charge on the nitrogendioxide(N02) and the one on cyni ion(CN)

and moreover, which of the pull electrons toward theirself? is it the N in N02 or the O in N02. because i can see that the O in N02 has negative charge.

How does the C in CHO pull electron toward itself. i thought O is more electronegative more than C and it should be pulling the electrons not the C. thanks

is that the resonance on the C.B always contribute the large amount to the stability?

hello professor Starley. can u please explain how we get the negative charge on the nitrate ion (NO3-) and moreover, why do we have the same charge of the nitrite ion (NO2-). Thanks for you help

Dr Starky I was wondering how you come up with the energy table? I don't quite get how you know these molecules/CB have a particular level of energy.

So if some compound has OH group that this compound can be acidic, as you mention in resonance effects on acidity, then why OH- always act as base.like NaOH?

Professor Starky, on the energy diagram when you said that OH- was the least endothermic, what did you mean? I thought that low energy is more endothermic. I'm a little confused
Thank you!
