There are certain scientific concepts out that that most people have heard of, but don’t quite know what it implies. While you’ve doubtlessly heard mention of splitting an atom in school or films, you may have missed out on how exactly this can be done. So let’s explore the wonderful world of nuclea
Learn the basics about Atomic Mass Units. The atomic mass is used to find the average mass of elements and molecules and to solve stoichiometry problems. Find out more in this video! This Open Educational Resource is free of charge, under a Creative Commons License: Attribution-NonCommercial CC B
Carbon dioxide is a product of one of the most important chemical reactions in the world: combustion. Like water, the bonds in carbon dioxide are POLAR COVALENT, making the carbon atom delta positive and the oxygens delta negative. Although, unlike water, carbon dioxide is not a polar molecule ov
Learn the basics about why aren't all atomic masses whole numbers? Find out more in this video! This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind The Fuse School. These videos can be used in a flipped classroom model o
Carbon nanotubes, or CNT, are being used to make products stronger, lighter, faster, and more efficient. But are they safe? A growing body of research is raising concerns over the hazards presented by some forms of the material. As ever though, the risk to health depends on who is exposed to what

This video segment adapted from A Science Odyssey uses models, vivid descriptions, and analogies to explain the structural integrity of matter at the atomic level. You wouldn't know it by looking at it, but the atoms that make up a solid piece of iron contain more space than stuff. How is it then th
In this screnncast, Bohr's atomic model is compared with the energy stage model. Using the aluminum atom as an example, the different energy levels are explained and how they are to be filled with electrons are described. Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All translations in this video
Learn the basics about what an atom is? How do you recognize an atom, what are its properties? Find out more in this video! What Is An Atom - Part 2 - Isotopes -> https://bit.ly/3wFaokF This Open Educational Resource is free of charge, under a Creative Commons License: Attribution-NonCommercial C
Learn the basics about how atoms bond when learning about the structure of atoms. Bonds form by the attraction of negatively charged electrons and the positive nucleus of atoms. Atoms have a positively charged tiny nucleus which contains almost all the atom’s mass, surrounded by shells of negativel
In this part 2, learn the basics about the atom, particularly about isotopes, whilst learning about properties of matter. Learn the basics about the atom, whilst learning about properties of matter. Atoms are the small bits that make up all the matter in the world around us. There are around one
Learn the basics about carbon neutral and biofuels, as a part of environmental chemistry. Coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas and gas from fracking are fossil fuels formed hundreds of millions of years ago from living things that got trapped by layers of sediment before they had time to decompose. H
