Atoms and the Periodic Table
After discovering plutonium, Glenn Seaborg was given the opportunity to determine its periodic symbol. Rather than going with the obvious Pl, he went with Pu as a joke. The designation was approved and is now on every periodic...

Other Acids
What do you call an acid with an attitude? A-mean-oh acid. Many pupils think of the acids found in the lab rather than the more common every day acids. The video introduces more common acids in food, our bodies, and other areas of...

Atomic Structure
The Rutheford plum pudding model of an atom, as well as the nuclear model, are the subject of a video that also includes an explanation of protons, neutrons, electrons, nucleus, atomic mass, atomic charge, and ions.
Crash Course
The Nucleus
Einstein didn't just discover relativity, he proved the existence of atoms in 1905 — more than 110 years ago. Discover how he did it and begin learning about basic chemistry: parts of an atom, atomic mass, atomic number, and how to read...

Electron Configuration Example
What does an atom look like? The instructor in a tutorial video models how to use the periodic table to determine the number of subatomic particles. He then uses the number of electrons to create an orbital diagram. Finally, Groves...
