So we all know about the carbon cycle, and the water cycle, and maybe even the nitrogen cycle. But new research has figured out there's a salt cycle, too. Problem is, that same research has found that we already broke it. Here's what...

Icy roads are a huge hazard, and typical methods of de-icing them can be pretty toxic to wildlife. Which is why researchers have been so fixated on finding better alternatives, from brine to pig pee.

A lot of ionic compounds dissolve in water, dissociating into individual ions. But when two ions find each other that form an insoluble compound, they suddenly fall out of solution in what's called a precipitation reaction. In this...

We have many alternatives to sugar, but where are all the salt substitutes?

The water crisis in Flint, Michigan is a prime example of science being ignored, unknown, or even misused. Here's the chemistry behind how so many things went wrong.

We get it, learning so many different organic reactions is probably giving you a headache, but hopefully this episode can help! We’re getting even deeper into carboxylic acid derivatives, some of which are used in common headache...

You might not believe it, but the same chemistry that brought us bulletproof vests and modern sailing sails also gave us the technology to build your smart phone. But that doesn’t mean these chemists were thinking about these...

Transition metals are elements in the d orbital. The reason these are unique is that they do not have 1 set charge they become when they become an ion like elements in the s and p orbital. Elements in the d orbital, or our transition...

In this video we are going to look how to name binary ionic compounds. These compounds deal with the ionic bonding of 2 different elements. Remember that an ionic compound is formed between a metal and a nonmetal or a cation and an...

What is an atom? And what is it made of? In this video, I will be introducing you to the atom. We will also look at concepts like atomic mass, elements and isotopes.

Lying on the lowest point on the Earth, the hypersaline Dead Sea is one of the most fascinating places on this planet. People float effortlessly here and that is the major attraction of the Dead Sea. But besides this natural buoyancy,...

Salt was discovered thousands of years ago as a way of preserving food. How does it do this? And what else does salt preserve? Chemistry - Chemical Industries - Learning Points. Food rots because of bacteria and fungi. Salt is an...

Salt is routinely used to melt snow and ice on winter roads. But what is happening at the molecular level to cause this helpful change of state? Chemistry - Atoms And Bonding - Learning Points. When salt is added to water it lowers the...

Dr. Forrester explains the uses for the mineral salt.

In this video we cover:

- How the electrolysis of soluble compounds w
orks
- The rules to find out which ions are discharge at each
electrode
- Electrolysis of aqueous
copper sulfate
- Electrolysis of...

Learn all about the properties and trends of the group 7 (halogens) and group 0 (noble gases) elements. Including why halogens become less reactive as you go down the group, and why noble gases are so unreactive. Suitable for: Combined...

Dr. Forrester defines the terms: molecule and compounds. She explains that every substance of matter is made up of atoms, and she discusses Dalton’s atomic theory.

An introduction to leaving group derivatives.

How is your brain like a battery? When our neurons arenêt firing, what do they do? Resting potential can be a very difficult concept to describe, but Alie Astrocyte breaks it down to the basics so that anyone can understand it! Join...

It talks about preparation, properties & structure of HCl, oxoacids of halogens & interhalogen compounds. It gives introduction of group 18 elements & their occurrence.

In this video, we discuss the mechanism of benzodiazepines (e.g., xanax, ativan). In doing so, we also cover the functions of the GABAa receptor and the effects of benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and alcohols on it.

Here, I show you how to write the formula for an ionic compound given the cation and anion. [5 examples]
