It discusses the trends of chemical properties such as oxidation states, chemical reactivity.

Corrin/B12 Biochemistry: Methylmalonyl-S-CoA Mutase Mechanism

Ok, so we understand how ligands bond to metals to form transition metal complexes, but how many ligands will fit? Well, remember the octet rule from general chemistry? There is a similar concept that we can apply here, which is called...

Practice REAL problems from actual past IIT/JEE exams with Professor Dave!

We know about ionic bonds and ionic compounds, how do we name them? Let's practice going from formula to name, and also from name to formula.

We just learned how to use the 18 electron rule, so let's get some more practice with a few trickier examples!

Nonoxidative Pentose Phosphate Shunt

This lesson will introduce the rules for writing the names and chemical formulae of non-metal anions and metal cations, including metals with multiple positive oxidation states.

Definitions included: compound, cation, anion, IUPAC,...

In addition to ligand exchange, another common organometallic reaction is oxidative addition. This commonly occurs with metals that have stable oxidation states that are two apart. Let's explore some examples of different stypes of...

Reductive elimination is essentially the opposite of oxidative addition and the products of one process can be the reactants of the other process. What conditions are most favorable to reductive elimination?

Reactions that occur on the ligands themselves are quite common. Let's look at two common types of ligand reactions: nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks. Which types of ligands that are susceptible to these attacks and what happens?

It gives idea about lanthanides such as position, electronic configuration, atomic, ionic size, & their uses.

It explains bonding, properties & limitations of Valence bond theory & crystal field theory of coordination compounds.

Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) 3: Low-Spin Example

It explains nomenclature & various rules for naming the coordination compounds.

In this video, we explore the basic properties and functions of red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes.

We have been learning a lot about a wide variety of compounds, but we haven't really looked much at the transition metals. These also form compounds called coordination compounds, and the types of bonds involved in these compounds is...

This lesson will uncover the rules for writing the names and chemical formulae of polyatomic ions and ionic compounds.<br/>
Definitions included: monoatomic ion, polyatomic ion

We have to know how to name ionic compounds. Not any name we want like Jeff or Larry, there's rules for how to name them. And look at all these adorable polyatomic ions!
