We've already learned about different types of chemical bonds, including covalent bonds. But now that we know about enthalpy, and orbitals, and some other concepts, let's revisit the covalent bond and dig a little deeper.

Learning how to assign absolute configuration (R/S) to any stereocenter.

Are we alone in the universe? This is a fundamental question that intrigues us all.



On September 21, 2016, NASA scientists and stakeholders came together at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum for...

This program covers the very important topics known as atomic number, mass number, and isotopes. We begin by discussing the structure of the atom and how the atomic number is used to organize the periodic table. We discuss the mass...

Introductory video to the hydrogen line spectrum, which in part led to the initial development of quantum mechanics.<br/>

Practice REAL problems from actual past IIT/JEE exams with Professor Dave!

For this one we need to know the ability of different oxidizing agents to react with various functional groups, and what functional groups will result.

We've already learned about VSEPR theory, and how to use it to predict the shapes of various molecules. But we didn't cover all of the molecular geometries for certain hybridizations, and we didn't talk about bond angles, so let's do...

Catalytic Hydrogenation: Theory, Mechanism, and Examples

With the Bohr model we start to get a better sense of the nature of matter, particularly the way light interacts with atomic matter such that we can see it. But how do we do calculations regarding these interactions? Let's practice now!

Learn the basics about the shapes of simple molecules, when learning about properties of matter. In reality the shapes of simple molecules are 3-D molecules and should be visualised as such. Imagine now the central carbon atom surrounded...

It Explains the quantum mechanical model and Schrodinger wave equation

Assuming a circular orbit of the electron about the nuclear proton in the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, determine the speed of the electron.

In this video students will come to understand the basic difference between ionic and covalent bonding. Viewers will learn that covalent bonds form between non-metallic atoms that share pairs of electrons and covalent bonds form between...

In this video we will look at covalent bonds in methane, ammonia, water and hydrogen fluoride. They are small, covalently-bonded molecules. The atoms within them share electrons because they have half full or more than half full valence...

The video explains the concept of homologous series in organic chemistry and provides detailed information about two important homologous series, alcohols and carboxylic acids. It describes the functional group present in each of these...

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.

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!

Learn what intermolecular forces are, the three most common types and the differences between them. An intermolecular force is simply an attractive force between neighbouring molecules. There are three common types of intermolecular...
