Learn the basics about Electrolysis of Molten Compounds. What is electrolysis? What are molten compounds? Find out more in this video!

It explains the extraction of metals by electrolysis.

Batteries store chemical energy that can be converted into electricity, providing a source of power. By connecting a battery to a circuit, a chemical reaction takes place, causing a buildup of electrons at the anode and creating an...

Nernst Equation: Theory and Derivation

Learn the basics about electroplating. The anode is positively charged, and the cathode is negatively charged. They are immersed in a solution called an electrolyte. The electrolyte and the anode are selected based upon the material that...

A new battery design from Cornell University could charge devices in seconds.

What are the properties of Alkali metals? What is ionic bonding? What are the most reactive elements of Alkali? What is known about Lithium? Why is Lithium the least reactive? What can Lithium be alloyed with?

This video discusses the historical development of the modern model of the atom. It begins with ancient Greek philosopher Democritus' theory that all matter is comprised of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. The video then...

How does a battery work? Now that you think about it, you have no idea, do you? Well take a gander! Turns out it's just redox chemistry.

Aluminium is the most abundant metal on Earth. However, it is expensive because a lot of electricity is used to extract it. Aluminium conducts heat and electricity well, has a low density and does not corrode. This makes it very useful...

Why are batteries important? When were batteries created? What is a battery?<br/>

How exactly do molecular biologists figure out all this stuff we have been learning? How do they do science with huge molecules like DNA and proteins? How can we gather empirical data about such molecules? Let's take a look at one...

The discovery that passing an electric current through water would split it apart was made quite soon after the discovery of current electricity itself. This predates Michael Faraday’s work in this area, but it is he who introduced most...

It explains the discovery of protons and neutrons and their characteristics.

It explains the discovery of electrons by using the cathode ray discharge tube and the e/m ratio. It also shows how to find the charge of electrons.

Growing your own pure copper crystals is very easy.

You only need the follo
wing:
-A suitable container (flat walls are better, you can observe the growt
h better!)
-
Copper Sulfate.
-A power supply. 5 volts or less...
