Shock viewers with this video clip about static electricity! Bill Nye sports a wacky wig and explains how electrons get stored up on the surface of a Van de Graff generator and then jump onto a metal ball. If you do not have your...

An advanced chemistry class will understand Sal's reaction and see his logic in explaining the equilibrium. The levels of electronegativity and likelihood of a nucleophilic attack are balanced and presented in the equation. This is an...

This video builds upon the previous topic and explains how the elimination reaction between moderately electronegative molecules is controlled.

The mechanism with a ketone and a similar version with an aldehyde is described, where the carbonyl group and pair of electrons belonging to the oxygen react with the hydronium in water.

A more detailed description and definition of orbitals, and the role they play in the atomic world, are the focus of this video. The "P Orbitals" are described by taking a close look at the carbon element's properties. The periodic table...

Sal does a phenomenal job introducing students to the atom, and the history that goes along with how we understand and view atoms today. Students are introduced to the atomic number, and how elements are organized into the periodic table...

Salman Khan reinforces the balancing of the equation through the electron transport chain and then elaborates on relevant vocabulary.

Ionization energy is the focus of this science video. Specifically, it covers 2nd Ionization Energy of the elements. Electronegativity is a key concept when trying to understand 2nd Ionization energy. Sal also discusses the metallic...
