CHEM 1: General Chemistry

Explore the diverse world of structural isomers! Learn how to draw structures for all constitutional isomers with various molecular formulas, including C4H10, C5H12, C6H14, C2H5Cl, C2H4Cl2, and C2H3Cl3.

The kinetic molecular theory of gases describes the random motion and speed distribution of gas molecules in a container, and when considering various statements about the average speeds of these molecules, it's important to understand how they behave under different conditions.

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

In this instructional video, we explore the conversion of various pressure units into atmospheres, covering mmHg, bars, Torr, and kPa. The process involves utilizing conversion factors to ensure accurate results for each unit. By the end, you'll have equivalent pressures in atmospheres for the given values, enhancing your understanding of pressure conversions.

Examine the nature of bonds in methylamine, ethane, fluoromethane, and methanol. Identify ethane's nonpolar covalent bond and understand why fluoromethane's bond leans toward the ionic spectrum. Grasp essential concepts in molecular bonding with this deep analysis.
