CHEM 4150: Introduction to Biophysical Chemistry

Discover the differences between physical and chemical changes using common examples. Understand how sugar reacts in various scenarios, and how metals undergo changes, either maintaining their substance or forming new compounds.

Discover the concept of the pseudo-noble gas configuration, differentiating it from the traditional noble gas configuration. Examine examples like tin and indium to illustrate how elements achieve this unique state of stability. Unpack the intriguing intricacies within atomic structures.

This explanation delves into the phenomenon where the reaction rate decreases over time due to the decrease in reactant concentration, resulting in fewer successful collisions and reactions, without revealing specific examples or findings.

In this video, we explore the information that knowledge of the number of protons in a neutral element's atom can provide. Options for determining neutron count, electron count, and identifying the element's name are examined, with a conclusion that it allows us to know both the number of electrons and the element's name.

In this instructional video, we explore the conversion of various pressure units into atmospheres, covering mmHg, bars, Torr, and kPa. The process involves utilizing conversion factors to ensure accurate results for each unit. By the end, you'll have equivalent pressures in atmospheres for the given values, enhancing your understanding of pressure conversions.

Understand the process of calculating formula masses for various compounds. This video breaks down the atomic masses for elements in barium bromide, dinitrogen trioxide, copper(I) sulfate, and hydrobromic acid. Master the method of summing up the masses considering atom count in each formula.
