CHEM 1010: Principles of Chemistry I

Discover Rutherford's pivotal Gold Foil Experiment and its impact on atomic theory. Unveil the discrepancies with the Plum Pudding Model. Grasp the birth of the nuclear atom model through unexpected alpha particle deflections.

This video provides insights into the concept of geometric isomerism in organic chemistry and explains why alkynes, which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds and adopt a linear structure, cannot exhibit this form of isomerism, unlike alkenes with double bonds that restrict rotation.

Unravel the Lewis structures of BrF?, ClF?, and IF? and their relationship with the octet rule. Examine how fluorine bonds with bromine, chlorine, and iodine. Identify molecules that deviate from the standard octet distribution.

Discover the art of classifying compounds as ionic or molecular based on bonding. Unravel the nuances between ionic and covalent bonds using electronegativity differences as a guide. Classify CoCl2 CF4 BaSO4 and NO with in-depth explanations and predict their properties.

Discover the method to determine the formula mass for various compounds. Learn about the importance of atomic masses and their role in compounds like Aluminium sulfate, Diphosphorus Trioxide, and more. Understand the step-by-step approach to accurately calculate molecular weights.

Unpack the intricacies of solid-state chemistry, focusing on the unit cell structure of tausonite. Discover its empirical formula, atomic arrangement, and the unique coordination patterns of titanium and strontium with oxygen atoms.
