CHEM 108: Introduction to Chemistry

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.

Learn the steps to make a 2.5 L of 0.100 M KCl solution from a 5.5 M stock solution in this easy-to-follow tutorial.

Explore the calculations for mole fractions, partial pressures, and total pressure in a 22.4 dm³ vessel with H? and N? at 273.15 K.

Unveil the correlation between molecular shapes and their respective intermolecular forces. Delve into the specifics of nitrogen trichloride, ammonia, silane, and carbon tetrachloride, highlighting their unique force interactions based on polarity.

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.

Explore the reactivity of different bases in this chemistry comparison. We'll analyze the strength of H?S?, CH?O?, CH?OH, Cl?, CH?COO?, and CH?CHClCOO? in various reactions.
