In this video, we will determine the Lewis structure for the compound, CHCl3 (chloroform).<br/>

This video explains the concept of relative atomic mass and how it relates to isotopes of an element. The video also explains how the periodic table gives the atomic mass of an element as a relative atomic mass, which is the average mass...

Learn the basics about the reactions of halogens, when learning about the periodic table as a part of properties of matter. Group 7 of the periodic table is the halogens. The reaction between diatomic chlorine gas and cold sodium...

Orbitals! Oh no. They're so weird. Don't worry, nobody understands these in first-year chemistry. You just pretend to, and then in second-year you learn them a little better, the following year a little better, and once you have a PhD...

Learn the basics about halogenation within the alkanes and alkenes part of organic chemistry.

Chemistry teacher Subathra Subramaniam explores the halogens, the collection of non-metals found in group seven of the periodic table that display their own qualities and trends. KS3 and KS4 Chemistry.

Looking at carboxylic acids and their derivatives.

The discovery that passing an electric current through water would split it apart was made quite soon after the discovery of current electricity itself. This predates Michael Faraday’s work in this area, but it is he who introduced most...

It explains Bohr's model of an atom and electron distribution in different orbits. It also talks about valency.
