CHEM 103: Organic Chemistry

Explore the diverse structures of C?H?? alkyl groups and classify them into primary, secondary, or tertiary categories. Through a visualization of carbon atom arrangements, uncover the nuances of n-pentyl, sec-pentyl, tert-pentyl, isopentyl, and neopentyl structures.

Discover how to precisely calculate mass, moles, formula units, and atoms in various compounds. Understand the concept with examples like chromium(III) sulfate decahydrate, dichlorine heptoxide, and lithium sulfate. Master chemistry calculations through a step-by-step guide.

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.

In this video we explore the process of calculating the weight percent of barium potassium and chlorine in a mixed sample of barium chloride dihydrate and potassium chloride. Through a step-by-step approach we examine the changes in sample weight after heating to 160°C breaking down the calculations for each elemental content.

Discover the Intricate Checks and Balances in Protein Synthesis Fidelity: Join us in this video to unravel the two critical moments when the accuracy of protein synthesis is assured, shedding light on the 'how' and 'when' of this essential process.

This video discusses how the electronegativity of attached groups affects the strength of acids. Comparing pairs such as Chloroacetic vs Fluoroacetic and Acetic vs Nitroacetic acids, we highlight which is the stronger acid in each pair and why.
