You'll learn what to wear in the lab, how to dispose of chemicals safely, how to avoid the most common accidents, how to pour solutions properly, what the HazMat diamond means, what an MSDS is, and how to use a fume hood.
This two-minute video explains the chemistry of how snowflakes form, "from their origins in bits of dust in clouds that become droplets of water falling to Earth".
In this episode of Crash Course Chemistry, learn about the Lewis Dot Structure and why we need models (something that represents something else) as learning tools.
Learning to talk about chemistry can be like learning a foreign language, but Hank is here to help with some straightforward and simple rules to help you learn to speak Chemistrian like a native.
This video discusses how molecules need to have both charge asymmetry and geometric asymmetry to be polar, and that charge asymmetry is caused by a difference in electronegativities.
Polymers are so integrated into our daily lives that we sometimes forget how amazing they are. This video explores how they have developed and the different types of polymers that are common in the world today.
Today, you'll learn about amorphous and crystalline solids, types of crystalline solids, types of crystalline atomic solids, properties of each type of solid, and that the properties depend on the bond types.
Chemical bonds form in order to minimize the energy difference between two atoms or ions. Learn about ionic and covalent bonds and how to calculate the energy transferred in an ionic bond using Coulomb's Law.
Here is a great interactive periodic table - Each element has a link to show what the element looks like, with the history of discovery, and other useful information about the element.
This is an entire periodic table, with videos about each element. These videos are chemistry adventures in the laboratory, as well as journeys into the world, to learn more about the unique qualities of each element.
This animation allows the user to change the number of protons and neutrons in the target nucleus and see how the alpha particles are scattered. It compares the Rutherford atom model with the Thomson model.
Did you know that snowflakes are all six-sided and that none of them are exactly the same? Learn about the science of covalent bonds and the making of a snowflake.
This video describes how we can understand the shape of a molecule. A molecule is nearly all empty space, apart from the extremely dense nuclei of its atoms and the clouds of electrons that bond them together. When that molecule forms, it arranges itself to maximize attraction of opposite charges and minimize repulsion of unlike.
In this episode, Hank describes what it means when we talk about the velocity of a gas - to understand gas velocity, we have to know what factors affect it, and how.
This week we continue to spend quality time with gases, more deeply investigating some principles regarding pressure - including John Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, vapour pressure - and demonstrating the method for collecting gas over water.
Hank bursts our ideal gas law bubble, er, balloon, and brings us back to reality, explaining how the constants in the gas law aren't all that constant; how the ideal gas law has to be corrected for volume because atoms and molecules take up space
This video explains how the work of scientists combined to produce the Ideal Gas Law and how the ideal gas equation allows you to find out pressure, volume, temperature or number of moles.
This video explores acids and bases and their proton-exchanging ways. Learn about the reactions happening in those solutions - atoms reorganizing themselves to create whole new substances.
In this episode, Hank talks about how nutty our world is via Buffers! He defines buffers and their compositions and talks about carbonate buffering systems in nature, acid rain, pH of buffers, and titration.
In this episode, Hank gives you the low down on things like London Dispersion Forces, Hydrogen Bonds, Cohesion, Adhesion, Viscosity, Capillary Action, Surface Tension, and why liquids are just... WEIRD!
In this episode, learn about reversible reactions, the water dissociation constant and what pH and pOH actually mean. The video also describes acids, bases, and neutral substances as well as logarithms, and how to calculate pH and pOH.
Dihydrogen monoxide is the key to nearly everything. Without it, none of the chemical reactions that keep us alive wouldn't happen. Learn to classify solutions electrolytes, calculate a solution's molarity, and dilute a solution using the dilution equation.
"Test the pH of things like coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral. Visualize the relative number of hydroxide ions and hydronium ions in solution. Switch between logarithmic and linear scales. Investigate whether changing the volume or diluting with water affects...
This video uses the currency of subatomic particles to explain this unseen exchange. Acids actively give away their protons while bases actively collect them, some more aggressively than others.
In this Crash Course Chemistry video, students learn about precipitation, precipitates, anions, cations, and how to describe and discuss ionic reactions.
In this video, learn how reduction (gaining electrons) and oxidation (the loss of electrons) combine to form redox chemistry, which contains the majority of chemical reactions.
Hank discusses Solid-State Semiconductors, N-Type and P-Type Semiconductors, Diodes, Transistors, Computer Chips, and Binary Code. All from the same thing that makes up sand!
This video explains the law of conservation of mass. Everything in our universe has mass, from the smallest atom to the largest star. How has the amount of mass remained constant throughout existence even during the birth and death of stars and planets?
When we first learn about atoms, we learn that the simplest has one electron buzzing around one proton, aka hydrogen. But it turns out there's an atom that's even simpler than this. It's called muonium, and it's an atom that's partially made of antimatter!
Say hello to the 4 newest elements! These 4 elements are the heaviest elements on the periodic table—and they finally got names in June 2017. Join Hank Green for this new episode of SciShow and learn all about them.
Open Access Textbooks
Although these textbooks are written for first year college students, teachers may find them useful for introducing concepts.
The intention of “atoms-first” involves a few basic principles: first, it introduces atomic and molecular structure much earlier than the traditional approach, and it threads these themes through subsequent chapters.
This survey should give you enough knowledge to appreciate the impact of chemistry in everyday life and, if necessary, prepare you for additional instruction in chemistry.
