CHEM 415: Advanced Biochemistry

This video explains the importance of the number of valence electrons in an element's chemical behavior and demonstrates how to determine the valence electrons for potassium, calcium, and aluminum based on their positions in the periodic table. Valence electrons dictate an element's reactivity with other elements, making this knowledge essential for understanding chemical reactions.

Learn how to determine the number of moles in a given set of atoms using Avogadro's number. This tutorial breaks down the calculation for Aluminum and Iron, simplifying the concept for better understanding.

This video outlines the process of calculating the number of moles in various elemental samples. It begins by explaining the relationship between molar mass and atomic weight. Each sample's mass is divided by the respective element's molar mass to find the number of moles. It provides detailed calculations for four elemental samples: zinc (Zn), argon (Ar), tantalum (Ta), and lithium (Li), converting results to scientific notation where necessary. The script demonstrates how to determine the mole

Discover the intricacies of atomic radius and its trends on the periodic table in this video. Unravel the factors influencing atomic size and explore how elements' positions on the periodic table affect their atomic radii.

In this video we clarify why lattice energy in solids is always a positive value due to the energy needed to separate ions making it an endothermic process. On the flip side hydration energy is always negative as it releases heat when ions dissolve in water making it an exothermic reaction. We use sodium chloride as a real-world example to illustrate these crucial thermodynamic concepts
