CHEM 3101: Organic Chemistry I

In this video, we classify substances as elements, compounds, or mixtures, with air and soy sauce as mixtures, iron as an element, and table salt as a compound.

Explore the groundbreaking moment in 1828 when Wöhler synthesized urea, the first organic compound. Join us in this video as we trace the profound impact of this achievement on the field of biochemistry and its significance in unraveling the mysteries of life's complex chemistry.

Explore the properties of various molecules like diazene, hydrogen peroxide, and carbon tetrafluoride. Understand the influence of molecular shape and electronegativity on polarity. Discover why some are polar while others are nonpolar based on their structure.

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.

Grasp the concept of Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) and its significance in chemistry. Through a practical example, this video elucidates how phosphorus reacts with oxygen at STP to produce tetraphosphorus decaoxide. Comprehensive mole calculations and chemical equations simplify this intriguing chemical process.

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.
