Chemistry

General chemistry—the starting point for understanding many different sciences—is a rigorous discipline. This program, filmed at Dartmouth College, will help students stay engaged with the coursework as it explains the necessity and the benefits of making a wholehearted commitment.

Acid-base chemistry has a role in the food we eat and the innumerable reactions that keep the human body alive.

This program will outfit you with all you need to know about atomic mass and will introduce the road map of elements known as the Periodic Table. Topics include: Intro to the Atom, Atomic Mass, Atomic Number, Isotopes, The Periodic Table of the Elements, and Electron Energy Levels.

Bonding happens more than just among your friends; it is an essential part of keeping matter together. Learn how the ideas of sharing charges and building strength in numbers are essential parts of chemistry. The VSEPR theory will describe the shapes and geometric make-up of the friendly molecule.

Follow the matter road and you’ll find solids, liquids, and gases, oh my! The structure and phase changes will be presented using cheesy examples (yes cheese), and we’ll find out why unruly gases have their own laws.

How does chemistry come into play in our everyday lives? How do plants and animals use chemistry for survival? This program will answer these questions and more!
