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.

Carbon-based molecules are the basis of life as we know it. Molecules like lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates that make up all living things have one thing in common - carbon.

When 2 monosaccharides come together and form a glycosidic bond, they become a disaccharide. In this video, we will be looking at the structure and examples of disaccharides we find in nature.

Dr. Boyd discusses the chemistry behind "Dr. Poison's" new chemical weapon in the new Wonder Woman movie.

Valence Bond (VB) theory explains how chemical bonds form through the overlap of atomic orbitals, where electron pairs are shared between atoms. The key concepts include: Atomic Orbital Overlap: Bonds form when atomic orbitals from...

Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the bonding between atoms in a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist. These structures are crucial in understanding how atoms share or transfer electrons to form stable...

Bond Angle Distortion: Lone pairs reduce bond angles between bonding pairs. For example, in a molecule like NH₃ (ammonia), the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5° is compressed to around 107° due to the presence of a lone pair on nitrogen....

The potential energy curve of the H₂ molecule illustrates how the energy of the system changes as the two hydrogen atoms approach or move apart. As the atoms come closer, the attractive forces between the positively charged nuclei and...

Double and triple bonds involve the sharing of two or three pairs of electrons, providing additional stability and influencing molecular properties like rigidity and reactivity

Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons to complete their valence shells, creating strong and directional interactions.

Lattice energy is the energy released when ions combine to form an ionic solid. Higher lattice energy indicates a stronger ionic bond and greater stability

Fajan's rules explain how factors like ion size, charge, and polarizability determine whether a bond will be predominantly ionic or covalent

Electronegativity differences between atoms determine the type of bond: ionic bonds form when the difference is large, while covalent bonds form with similar electronegativity.

The citizens of a nation lend money to their government, which adds to the national debt. This is the most secure way of raising money from an economist's point of view. Many developed countries prefer this method of borrowing money....

Friction is the resistance that one object or surface experiences when moving over another object or surface. The two types of friction that come into play when moving two objects against one another are static and kinetic. Static...

Water evaporates at room temperature because the molecules at the top of the liquid have less intermolecular attraction than those within the bulk. When the top layer is exposed to sunlight, some molecules gain enough kinetic energy to...

The dynamic of teamwork is often analogous to sports in which the mission is unanimous and each teammate offers support by utilizing their clearly defined attributes and entrusting their other teammates to do the same. This video...
