CHEM 100: Introduction to Chemistry

Unpack the difference between quantitative and non-quantitative observations. Examples include a person's weight on the Moon and the depth a hand pump can reach. Learn why precise measurements are crucial in scientific studies.

Explore the protonation of amino acids, specifically valine and threonine, when subjected to a pH lower than their isoelectric points, highlighting the structural changes in their carboxyl and amino groups.

Explore the polar nature of Chloromethane and the nonpolar characteristics of Methane. Understand the impact of electronegativity differences and bond types. Deciphering molecular polarity through the lens of tetrahedral structures.

Break down the mysteries of ions like Al³?, S²?, I?, and Ag?. Discover how the electron count impacts ion charge by exploring Aluminium, Sulfur, Iodine, and Silver. Enhance your understanding of protons, electrons, and their relationship in ions.

Explore the polarity of Carbon disulfide, Sulfur dioxide, Methane, and Chloromethane. Learn how molecular shape influences electron distribution. Understand which molecules possess a net dipole moment and which ones don't.

Unravel the Lewis structures of BrF?, ClF?, and IF? and their relationship with the octet rule. Examine how fluorine bonds with bromine, chlorine, and iodine. Identify molecules that deviate from the standard octet distribution.
