VSEPR Theory and Molecular Geometry
Did you know that geometry was invented by molecules? It's true! Until the first stars went supernova and littered all the elements across the cosmos, everything was simply spheres, from protons to stars. But then, under cooler planetary...

Introduction to Biology: What is Life?
After we learn chemistry and biochemistry, we are ready for biology! In this course we extend our understanding of molecules to encompass an entire cell and everything inside it. This is a huge step in complexity, and we will even talk...

Balancing Chemical Equations
Atoms don't just appear and disappear into thin air, you silly goose. What are you, a magician? When we have a chemical equation we will have to balance it. Here's how to do it!

Nucleophilicity vs. Basicity
After introducing basicity in the last video and generalizing it as closely related to nucleophilicity, Sal studies electron donors and the stability of both products and reactants. He compares and defines the two terms.
