CHEM 1230: General Chemistry I

Explore the chemical structures of four distinct ethers: ethyl propyl ether dibutyl ether methyl hexyl ether and dipentyl ether. Understand the role of ether groups which involve an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.

Explore the fascinating world of intermolecular forces in this brief video, featuring HCl, F?, and C?H?? molecules. Learn about the bonds that hold these substances together!

An in-depth analysis of the precision and accuracy in seam measurements by three apprentice tailors: X, Y, and Z, as they measure a pair of trousers. Understand how their measurements compare to the true length of 32.0 inches.

Compare the acidity of chromium trioxide (CrO?) and chromium (II) oxide (CrO) in water. Chromium trioxide forms strong chromic acid increasing hydronium ions, while chromium (II) oxide has weaker oxidizing properties, resulting in a less acidic solution.

This video explores the structural and functional differences between sphingomyelins and glycolipids, two types of lipids found in cell membranes, highlighting their commonalities in backbone and fatty acid composition and their distinctive roles in cell structure and recognition.

Explore the fascinating discovery of a glucose polymer with alternating glycosidic linkages. We'll visualize its Haworth projection and investigate its potential role in organisms, pondering whether it primarily serves a structural or energy storage function. Additionally, we'll discuss which types of organisms might utilize this unique polysaccharide as a potential food source.
