CHEM 3021: Biochemistry

Discover the incredible speed of light as it zips 7.5 times around Earth in just a second! Marvel at its daily and yearly travels, equating to billions and trillions of kilometers. Dive deeper into the concept of a 'light year' and its significance in astronomical measurements.

This video delves into the principles of gas behavior at standard temperature and pressure (STP) and how to determine the volume occupied by a given number of moles of gas under these conditions.

Join us as we delve into the intriguing world of genetic coding and discover how the concept of wobble accounts for variations in codons encoding a single amino acid.

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.

Unravel the electron configurations of diverse ions and discern their noble gas resemblances. Understand how atoms and ions strive for full outer electron shells for ultimate stability.

Explore the groundbreaking moment in 1828 when Wöhler synthesized urea, the first organic compound. Join us in this video as we trace the profound impact of this achievement on the field of biochemistry and its significance in unraveling the mysteries of life's complex chemistry.
