Polarity Resonance and Electron Pushing - Crash Course Organic Chemistry

The video introduces the concept of polarity in chemistry, focusing on electronegativity and its role in molecular bonding. It explains how electronegativity differences lead to polar and nonpolar bonds, using water and carbon dioxide as examples. The video also covers the importance of electronegativity in organic chemistry reactions and introduces resonance structures, explaining how they contribute to the stability of molecules.
