In this section, I talk about the sun as a source of energy, consumers vs. producers and cycles found in nature

How do we know how many atoms of each element are in a particular compound? Through clever experiments! Here let's practice using percent mass information to get the empirical and molecular formulas of a particular compound.

There are a number of substances that are vital to all living organisms. In this lecture, I talk about substances like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, going into some detail about their structures and importance.

It explains functional groups and nomenclature of organic compounds.

Learn the basics about carbon neutral and biofuels, as a part of environmental chemistry. Coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas and gas from fracking are fossil fuels formed hundreds of millions of years ago from living things that got...

It's the night before the big game! You're carbo-loading! Wait, what are carbs? Did you know that sugar is a carbohydrate? You didn't?! Well, you'd better watch this, my friend. We will cover all the monosaccharides in their linear and...

This video provides an overview of alkenes, a type of hydrocarbon that contains a double carbon-carbon bond in their molecules. The video covers the structure and formulas of several alkenes, including ethene, propane, butene, and...

Learn the basics about the properties and chemistry of benzene, as a part of organic chemistry. Benzene is an organic molecule. Benzene is a colourless liquid at room temperature. Its boiling point is 80 degrees C. It’s found naturally...

Here, we discuss how to name simple Haloalkanes & Branched Alkanes given their structures.<br/>

Naming molecules according to IUPAC nomenclature.

Learn about iron alloys as part of metals and their reactivity, within environmental chemistry.

This video defines what a chemical reaction is and explains how chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter. Students will see real world examples of chemical reactions and come to understand that no matter is created or...

Learn the basics about the cracking of hydrocarbons and why it is done.

Here, we discuss how to draw simple Haloalkanes & Branched Alkanes given their IUPAC names.<br/>

In this video, we explore the importance of carbon, an element that is present in everything from the air we breathe to the objects we use daily.

Learn the basics about Acid Rain. What causes acid rain? Find out more in this video!

Learn the basics about covalent bonds, when learning about properties of matter. When similar atoms react, like non-metals combining with other non-metals, they share electrons. This is covalent bonding. Non-metals have shells of...

Atoms don't just appear and disappear into thin air, you silly goose. What are you, a magician? When we have a chemical equation we will have to balance it. Here's how to do it!
