Learn the basics about the covalent bonding of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen as a part of the overall topic of properties of matter. The noble gas structure and covalent bonding is also discussed.

Upon viewing the Forming Bonds video series, students will be able to do the following: Understand that matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Explain that atoms consist of many different types of subatomic particles including...

Learn the basics about plasma - the fourth state of matter, when learning about properties of matter. When ice is sufficiently heated, it melts to form water. It has therefore undergone a change of state – from a solid to a liquid....

This video discusses the contribution of Danish scientist Niels Bohr to the understanding of the atom. Today, we refer to Bohr's theory as the Bohr model of the atom. Atoms part 5/13

What's the difference between periods and groups in the Periodic Table and why are the elements structured this way. Find out in this video from the Properties of Matter chapter of the Virtual School GCSE / K12 Chemistry.

Learn the basics about the periodic table, and how the elements are organised within it in this video. The periodic table consists of 7 rows called Periods, going across, and 18 columns, called Groups going down. The elements in the...

Why do some substances conduct electricity, while others do not? And what is a semiconductor? If we aim to learn about engineering and technology, this will be a very important concept, so let's go through the basics now!

Physical Science for Kids is the fun way to learn important facts about physical science and get ready for tests. Take a fascinating journey to the Super Science Station to learn about the elements.

Ionic Bond, Covalent Bond, James Bond, so many bonds! What dictates which kind of bond will form? Electronegativity values, of course. Let's go through each type and what they're all about.

In this part 2, learn the basics about the atom, particularly about isotopes, whilst learning about properties of matter. Learn the basics about the atom, whilst learning about properties of matter. Atoms are the small bits that make up...

Learn the basics about the atom, whilst learning about properties of matter. Atoms are the small bits that make up all the matter in the world around us. There are around one hundred different sorts of atom, from the lightest, hydrogen...

Why don't protons and electrons just slam into each other and explode? Why do different elements emit light of different colors? Niels Bohr knew why. And now you will too!

So we have made it through the dark ages, and are now a few hundred million years into the lifetime of the universe. There are plenty of stars all over the place, but are they all the same? How can we classify stars? Let's go through the...

You sent us your nano questions, and we answered! In this Ask a Scientist – Nano Edition, we join nano expert Saniya LeBlanc, from George Washington University.



See more nano videos and check out our Generation Nano: Small...

This video explains the importance of metals in our daily lives and their unique properties. It discusses how metals are made up of atoms held together by metallic bonds, where positively charged ions are surrounded by a sea of...

Learn the basics about particles in a metal, that are held together by metallic bonds.What are metallic bonds? Find out more in this video!

Through real world footage and animated graphics, this video explains what molecular clocks are and how they are used. The program discusses molecular clocks' calibration and their reliability. In addition, students are provided with...

We've learned about electron configurations, and also about how this plays into ionization, given that elements will tend to ionize in such a way so as to achieve noble gas electron configuration. But certain transition metals will seek...

This video uses animation and introduces Lewis Structures to demonstrate stable and unstable electron configurations to explain the octet rule. The program shows viewers how they can use the periodic table to understand the octet rule....

Learn the basics about how atoms bond when learning about the structure of atoms. Bonds form by the attraction of negatively charged electrons and the positive nucleus of atoms. Atoms have a positively charged tiny nucleus which contains...

The relationship between energy levels and strength of chemical bonds are discussed and demonstrated in this video. Students will learn that a chemical bond forms when electrons have lower energy and that less stable atoms tend to form...

Learn the basics about the ionic bonding of calcium chloride, lithium fluoride and potassium oxide, as a part of the overall properties of matter topic. An ionic bond is defined as the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged...

This video explains the concept of ions and ionic bonding in a clear and concise manner. It discusses how atoms become charged when they gain or lose electrons, and how oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other to form an ionic...

This video explains all about Ionic and Covalent bonding :) enjoy!
