Video 1: Subatomic Particles and Atomic Structure
This video is a brief review to future and beginner organic chemistry students. I cover the mass and charge of subatomic particles, and their location within the atomic structure.
Video 2: Periodic Table and Trends
This video covers a Periodic Table overview. Understand the layout and grouping of atoms as well as periodic trends!
Video 3: Atomic Orbital and Shapes
This video overviews atomic orbitals including their shapes, sub-orbitals, and the number of electrons found in each. The orbitals, related to their placement on the table, are related to electron configurations.
Video 4: Electron Configuration Video 1 of 2
In this video, I explain how to find electron configuration by looking at the periodic table, and a quick example. In Part 4, video 2 are more complex electron configuration examples.
Video 5: Electron Configuration Video 2 of 2
This video has additional examples of how to find the electron configuration of larger atoms and a shortcut version using the Nobel Gas Kernel.
Video 6: Lewis Dot Diagram & Octet Rule
In this video I will discuss how to draw a Lewis Dot Diagram for Atoms and will explain the Octet Rule
