CHEM 3100: Introduction to Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

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.

Explore the chemical structures of four distinct ethers: ethyl propyl ether dibutyl ether methyl hexyl ether and dipentyl ether. Understand the role of ether groups which involve an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.

Explore the relationship between mass, density, and volume using real-life examples, including water, ethanol, chloroform, and balsa wood. Learn the process of calculating mass and uncover which substance has the highest mass based on given conditions.

Learn a practical application of chemistry and mathematics in your daily life. Whether you're a tea or coffee enthusiast, this video offers valuable insights into scale removal and maintaining your kitchen appliances.

Explore the distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Through real-world examples like baby oil, chocolate chip cookies, and wine, understand their uniformity, phases, and how components are distributed.

This video focuses on unit conversions and the practical use of conversion factors to translate quantities between different units. It provides clear examples of converting 70 kilograms to pounds, translating 14 billion years into seconds, changing the height of a basketball player from feet and inches to meters, and converting cubic meters to liters, illustrating the importance of this skill in various scientific and everyday scenarios.
