In this video, before we dive deeper into the world of alkanes, we'll have a brief alkane introduction: what they are, a summary of their physical properties, and much more. I like to have a bit of overview and talk about physical properties for each functional group before getting hot and heavy with their reactions (I think in most cases physical properties can help explain some of the behavior we see in various situations in Ochem).
