CHEM 112: Chemistry in Society

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.

Understand the fundamental distinctions between pure substances and mixtures. Unpack the definitions and real-world examples of elements, compounds, homogeneous, and heterogeneous mixtures.

The electron transport chain (ETC) is a critical process in cellular respiration and photosynthesis, involving the transfer of electrons and protons through a series of protein complexes and molecules to create an electrochemical gradient, ultimately producing ATP with molecular oxygen as the final electron acceptor.

Explore the distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Through real-world examples like baby oil, chocolate chip cookies, and wine, understand their uniformity, phases, and how components are distributed.

Uncover the science behind boiling points and molecular interactions in this video. Explore why Dimethylamine boils at a higher temperature than Trimethylamine, despite having a lower molecular weight, and gain insights into the role of molecular structures in determining physical properties.

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