Chemistry

Table salt dissolves in water, while diamond is difficult to scratch. Such properties depend on how atoms, ions and molecules are arranged and held together. Models of bonds, crystals and reactions connect these structures with what we observe.

The Bohr atom

Protons, neutrons and electrons make up an atom. Choose an element to relate its particle counts to its structure.

Atomic structureQuantum

Hydrogen orbitals

An electron cloud represents where an electron may be found. Its shape, zero-probability regions and wave-function signs describe different things.

Covalent bonding

Two hydrogen atoms can share electrons while remaining a certain distance apart. Changes in potential energy explain the bond and its length.

Hybrid orbitals

Adding amplitudes at the same position combines s and p orbitals into orbitals pointing in particular directions.

Naming and drawing organic compounds

A skeletal formula leaves out many letters but still records how atoms connect. Understanding those omissions lets us check a structure against its name, including the numbering of branches, rings and multiple bonds.

Acids, bases & neutralisation

An acid–base reaction changes a solution. An indicator gives us a visible way to judge the endpoint of a titration.
