In this section, I talk about elements, atoms and how they interact. I deal with two types of bonds: Covalent Bonds and Ionic Bonds. I also talk about pH, chemical reactions and metabolism.

Ionic Bond, Covalent Bond, James Bond, so many bonds! What dictates which kind of bond will form? Electronegativity values, of course. Let's go through each type and what they're all about.

Upon viewing the Forming Bonds video series, students will be able to do the following: Understand that matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Explain that atoms consist of many different types of subatomic particles including...

Chemical bonding explains how atoms combine to form molecules. It involves forces like ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds that hold atoms together, dictating the physical and chemical properties of substances.

Models are great, except they're also usually inaccurate. In this episode of Crash Course Chemistry, Hank discusses why we need models in the world and how we can learn from them... even when they're almost completely wrong....

If movies have taught us anything, it’s that the first person to enter a spooky cave is the first to get in trouble! Will First Mate Phil survive to see the light of day? This lesson will shine a light on the chemical properties of...

Mr. Andersen shows you how to name covalent and ionic compounds.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how ionic solids form when cations and anions are attracted. When atoms lose or gain electrons they form ions. The strength of the attraction between ions is based on the amount of charge and the...

Understanding the difference between intramolecular and intermolecular forces is crucial for mastering chemistry. In this video, we'll break down these concepts into easy-to-understand steps to help you excel in your...

Atoms are a lot like us - we call their relationships "bonds," and there are many different types. Each kind of atomic relationship requires a different type of energy, but they all do best when they settle into the lowest stress...

Atoms can (and do) bond constantly; it's how they form molecules. Sometimes, in an atomic tug-of-war, one atom pulls electrons from another, forming an ionic bond. Atoms can also play nicely and share electrons in a covalent bond. From...

In this video students will come to understand the basic difference between ionic and covalent bonding. Viewers will learn that covalent bonds form between non-metallic atoms that share pairs of electrons and covalent bonds form between...

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've learned about ionic and covalent bonds, so we understand the interactions that will occur between a metal and a nonmetal, or between two nonmetals. But what about two metals? Metallic bonding! This ends up being sort of like ionic...

Learn the basics about how to use dot and cross diagrams to represent covalent bonds. Dot and cross diagrams are simply a straightforward way of drawing the electrons in the orbitals of atoms and compounds. Most of the time, we use dots...

Learn the basics about covalent bonds, when learning about properties of matter. When similar atoms react, like non-metals combining with other non-metals, they share electrons. This is covalent bonding. Non-metals have shells of...

Beautiful Bonds: The World of Covalent and Metallic Solids

Covalent solids, also known as network solids, are materials with atoms bonded together in a continuous network by covalent bonds, resulting in large, rigid structures....

Video on QM of Atoms which may clarify some concepts:    • The Quantum Mechanical model of an atom. W...  

Why do atoms combine to form molecules? The quantum mechanics of chemical bonds and chemistry....

SciShow explains what makes atoms bond (and what makes them sometimes seem promiscuous).

Very strong chemical bonds between oppositely charged ions. A Twig Science Glossary Film. Key scientific terms defined in just 60 seconds using stunning images and concise textual definitions. Twig Science Glossary Films reinforce...

In this video Paul Andersen explains the difference between chemical and physical processes. Chemical processes occur when bonds are broken and reformed. Physical processes occur when intermolecular forces are broken and reformed. A...

Discover the truth about lattice energy and why size really matters in ionic bonds. In this video, you'll learn what lattice energy is, why it's crucial in chemistry, and the factors that influence its strength. Understand how the size...

And thus begins the most revolutionary biology course in history. Come and learn about covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds. What about electron orbitals, the octet rule, and what does it all have to do with a mad man named Gilbert...

Upon viewing the Forming Bonds video series, students will be able to do the following: Understand that matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Explain that atoms consist of many different types of subatomic particles including...
