CHEM 107: Biochemistry

This video delves into the significance of electron configurations in understanding an atom's chemical behavior. It examines and corrects inaccuracies in the electron configurations of Aluminium (Al), Boron (B), and Fluorine (F). For instance, the electron configuration for Aluminium is initially presented with an incorrect number of electrons in the 2p subshell, stressing the importance of adhering to the rules of electron configuration for precise atomic representation.

Unravel electron configurations for transition metals including zinc copper zirconium and iron. Understand how atomic number influences electron arrangement based on the Pauli exclusion principle Hund's rule and the Aufbau principle. Decode the configurations of each metal with clarity.

In this video, we delve into the concept of percent composition by mass, exemplified through the compound chloroform (CHCl?), which was once employed as an inhalation anesthetic despite its associated toxicity. By calculating the percent composition for each element within the compound, we gain valuable insights into its composition and its potential effects on health and properties.
