CH 112: Principles of Chemistry I

Uncover the nuances of the CO? molecule's polarity and its electron dynamics. Understand how bending and stretching motions influence its electron density. Grasp the analogy of CO? to a jumping rope, highlighting its overall nonpolar nature.

Join us in this video as we debunk common misconceptions about the periodic table. We explore and clarify statements regarding atomic size, electron configurations, reactivity, and electron removal. Dive into the world of chemistry and gain a deeper understanding of the periodic table's fascinating principles.

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

This video delves into the significance of electron configurations in understanding an atom's chemical behavior. It examines and corrects inaccuracies in the electron configurations of Aluminium (Al), Boron (B), and Fluorine (F). For instance, the electron configuration for Aluminium is initially presented with an incorrect number of electrons in the 2p subshell, stressing the importance of adhering to the rules of electron configuration for precise atomic representation.

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.
