CHM 2023: Chemistry for Today

Explore why fluorine, with its seven valence electrons, doesn't form compounds like FH? or FCl?. Understand the role of VSEPR theory, atomic size, and electronegativity in limiting bond formation. Grasp the interplay of geometric challenges and electron repulsion in compound stability.

This instructional video guides you through the process of determining the number of molecules in a given sample. It illustrates the conversion from grams to moles using the molar mass of the substance and then to molecules using Avogadro's number, providing a practical example with ethane (C?H?) to calculate approximately 6.67 x 10²¹ molecules in a 0.334 g sample.

Explore unique strategies employed by prokaryotes and discover if they possess exclusive mechanisms for handling extreme DNA damage that elude eukaryotes."

Master the conversion of moles to grams with clear step-by-step guidance. Explore specific calculations for substances like carbon tetrafluoride and magnesium fluoride. Grasp the nuances of handling different units like millimoles and kilomoles in the context of substances such as carbon disulfide and sulfur trioxide

Explore the reaction between alanine and glycine, two amino acids, and unravel whether this process results in multiple reaction products. We'll delve into the intriguing world of peptide bond formation and examine the potential diversity of products that may emerge from this biochemical reaction."
