Unraveling Molecular Structures: Explore the composition of compounds with molecular formulas CH4O, CH3Cl, C2H6, CH5N, C2F6, C2H5Br, and C3H8. Learn about their unique structures and properties.

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.

Discover the importance of calculating percent error to assess the precision of experiments. Through real-world examples like measuring alcohol's density and the mass of gold, learn how this value offers insights into measurement accuracy and ways to refine methods.

The scenario involves an archaeologist analyzing iron in an old building containing nickel-63, which has a known half-life of 92 years. With only 0.78% of the original nickel-63 remaining, the goal is to estimate the year when this discovery was made. We delve into the calculations and principles of first-order decay reactions.
