BCHM 30700: Biochemistry

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.

Explore the intricacies of electron configurations around the atomic nucleus. Understand the ordered filling of energy levels in atoms like Rubidium, Germanium, and Argon. A deep look into the ground-state configurations of key elements.

Explore the protonation of amino acids, specifically valine and threonine, when subjected to a pH lower than their isoelectric points, highlighting the structural changes in their carboxyl and amino groups.

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.

Learn about mass changes in an iron bar when exposed to moist air, including the formation of rust (Fe?O?) and how to calculate the final mass.

Explore oxidation and reduction processes across four chemical reactions differentiating between acid-base and redox activities. Highlighting key substances and their roles in each reaction.
