CHEM 4205: Medicinal Chemistry

This video explores the processes of rusting in iron and burning a match, addressing whether the observed changes in mass violate the law of conservation of mass, and explains how these processes align with the law.

Explore the world of oxidizing and reducing agents in chemistry. Gain a clear understanding of what they are and how they function without delving too deep into the subject matter.

Unravel the electron configurations of diverse ions and discern their noble gas resemblances. Understand how atoms and ions strive for full outer electron shells for ultimate stability.

In biochemistry, polymers are essential macromolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, each adopting specific shapes and performing vital functions within cells, with proteins serving diverse roles, nucleic acids carrying genetic information, catalysis expediting reactions, and the genetic code enabling protein synthesis.

Learn how to compute the freezing point of water at various solution concentrations using the freezing point depression formula. Uncover the relationship between concentration and the lowered freezing points for four distinct solutions. Equip yourself with essential knowledge on the effects of solute concentration on water's freezing behavior.

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.
