CHEM 202: Organic Chemistry 1

In biochemistry, polymers are essential macromolecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, each adopting specific shapes and performing vital functions within cells, with proteins serving diverse roles, nucleic acids carrying genetic information, catalysis expediting reactions, and the genetic code enabling protein synthesis.

We explore the impact of increasing the concentration of ethylene glycol in an antifreeze mixture, explaining the resulting effect on the freezing point of the solution by examining its interaction with water molecules.

In this exploration, we delve into the fundamental units of various substances, whether they are single atoms, molecules, or formula units. We examine ionic compounds like Rb?O and Fe(NO?)?, characterized by formula units as their basic components, and covalent compounds like N? and N?F?, where molecules are the fundamental units.

Unravel the chemistry behind precipitation reactions and the creation of insoluble salts. Learn how aqueous ions interact to form solid precipitates, illustrated with examples like silver nitrate and sodium chloride. Understand their significance in fields from water treatment to qualitative analysis.

This video explores the structural and functional differences between sphingomyelins and glycolipids, two types of lipids found in cell membranes, highlighting their commonalities in backbone and fatty acid composition and their distinctive roles in cell structure and recognition.

This video breaks down the configurations for In In+ In2+ and In3+ distinguishing between diamagnetic and paramagnetic properties. Uncover the oxidation state of Indium in InCl2 and understand its diamagnetic nature.
