CHEM 1315: General Chemistry

We categorize elements into representative, transition, inner-transition, and noble gases based on their positions in the periodic table and general characteristics, without revealing specific element classifications.

Uncover the distinct behaviors of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid in water. Learn about the complete ionization of strong acids and the partial ionization of weak ones, emphasizing the differentiation in proton donation.

Discover the concept of the pseudo-noble gas configuration, differentiating it from the traditional noble gas configuration. Examine examples like tin and indium to illustrate how elements achieve this unique state of stability. Unpack the intriguing intricacies within atomic structures.

This video explores the processes of rusting in iron and burning a match, addressing whether the observed changes in mass violate the law of conservation of mass, and explains how these processes align with the law.

In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of evolutionary adaptations in heme-containing proteins.

Discover the intricacies of the electron configuration for phosphorus, from its atomic number to its orbital notation. Learn about unpaired electrons, energy levels, and the significance of inner-shell electrons. Understand how orbital structures define an element's properties.
