Acetaminophen, more commonly known by brand names such as Tylenol, is not a true NSAID, as it does not have anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is commonly discussed alongside NSAIDs as it has similar antipyretic and analgesic...

The reactivity of an element is a function of how easily an element loses or gains electrons. To determine an element's reactivity, we can learn a lot from the periodic table, and its particular trends. The first element in the halogen...

Helium is a chemical element that is the second most abundant in the universe. It is a noble gas, known for its low reactivity and lightness. Helium is widely used for inflating balloons and airships, as well as in various medical and...

Have you ever heard the term "Noble Gases" before? In this video we are explaining the properties and real world examples of these gases of Group 18 of the periodic table, what they have in common and what distinguishes them individually.

Learn the basics about Alkaline Earth metals which are a group of chemical elements in the periodic table with very similar properties? What are those properties? Find out more in this video!

This video explains the concept of relative atomic mass and how it relates to isotopes of an element. The video also explains how the periodic table gives the atomic mass of an element as a relative atomic mass, which is the average mass...

Learn the basics about the reactions of halogens, when learning about the periodic table as a part of properties of matter. Group 7 of the periodic table is the halogens. The reaction between diatomic chlorine gas and cold sodium...

Orbitals! Oh no. They're so weird. Don't worry, nobody understands these in first-year chemistry. You just pretend to, and then in second-year you learn them a little better, the following year a little better, and once you have a PhD...

Looking at resonance structures for organic molecules and learning how to determine formal charge.

In this course we've come across some surprising structures, but benzyne is one of the most surprising. It would seem impossible that a triple bond could form on a benzene ring, and in truth it can't fully form, but benzyne is a molecule...
