This video covers a number of different chemical reactions that carbon compounds can have. Carbon compounds can undergo combustion, substitution, addition, and oxidisation reactions. The video also looks at chemical reactions that ethanol and ethanoic acid can undergo. Show Less

This video introduces hydrocarbons, and highlights the difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. It also introduces the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry naming conventions for straight chained hydrocarbons, branched-chain saturated hydrocarbons, and organic compounds containing the halo, alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, and carboxylic groups.

Carbon is a versatile element. Its tetravalent nature, to form strong covalent bonds and the property of catenation enables it to form a large number of compounds. This video introduces covalent bonds and their properties, with a focus on how carbon compounds bond, Show Less

In this video students will learn about functional groups, the atom or groups of atoms that give a characteristic property to a compound. The video also introduces homologous series—organic compounds that have similar structures—and isomers—compounds with the same molecular formula but different chemical structures. Show Less

The start of The Periodic Games is just a day away. As attraction sparks between Chlorine and Sodium, President H2O fears that their new bond could incite revolution. Meanwhile, the other tributes are in training, forming covalent bonds that could help them survive in the Laboratoria, where only one atom will be left standing by the end. Show Less

When Chlorine Everclean voluntarily takes her sister’s place in The 75th Periodic Games, hosts Titanium Alloy and Caesium Lepton are taken by surprise! Chlorine isn’t as strong a contender as her little sister Fluorine, and the other 17 tributes are fierce competition. In this first episode, we meet the tributes offered by every group of the periodic table as they prepare to do battle in the Laboratoria. Show Less

Nanotechnology has found its way into our homes and everyday lives. This clip reveals some amazing applications that are part of our everyday lives now, and takes a look nanotechnology in the future and the revolutionary impact it will continue to have. It opens a world of possibilities for students of middle to senior level science, chemistry and physics. Show Less

Nanotechnology has diverse applications and phenomenal potential. This clip examines the properties of nanoparticles and the amazing range of applications – now and into the future. It also looks at some of the risks of this emerging field of science and technology. Students of middle to senior level science, chemistry and physics will find this an invaluable learning resource. Show Less

Nanoparticles are tiny bits of material with a diameter between one and 100 nanometres. This clip explores the tiny world of nanoparticles and how their size and structure make them so useful, including the square-cube law and the relationship between volume and surface area. It provides students of middle to senior level science, chemistry and physics with insights to phenomena at the smallest imaginable scale. Show Less

In the hideout, Chlorine is trapped in Carbon’s buckyball, and Gold is put behind bars. When released, Ethanol takes him on a guided tour of the completed Project D. It’s giant DNA molecule, which will bring Planet Earth to life. Gold’s final attempt at destroying the molecule has little effect. Carbon’s heavies throw Gold and Chlorine into some aqua regia – and the pair finally bond. Show Less

In a secret location, Copper and Silver separate Chlorine from Potassium. Gold and Chlorine return to Carbon’s secret school – but cannot find Fluorine and Oxygen. Carbon appears, and Gold and Chlorine flee to a nearby bond shop where they meet Oxygen – now an Ozone molecule. Carbon has followed them and calls in Cyanide to dissolve Gold, and our hero is taken to the DNA coding hideout. Show Less

Gold finally meets the mysterious Chlorine and they try bonding, but to no avail. Suddenly Carbon and his heavies arrive on the scene. Gold and Chlorine are able to escape, but before they know it, Chlorine has ionically bonded with Potassium and Gold calls for backup. Water arrives and Potassium Chloride is taken to a secret location. Can the ionic bond be broken? Show Less

Agent Gold is assigned to investigate Project D, headed by Carbon who has trained millions of other atoms to develop this secret plan. Together with Oxygen and Fluorine, Gold penetrates Carbon’s secret school and finds atoms being drilled about bonding – vital information for Project D. Gold thinks it’s time to meet the Queen of the Bleach, Chlorine, but the others are not so sure. Show Less

What are things made of? Why do some substances dissolve and others don't? Why does heat affect some materials more than others? In this video, Elesapiens will join us to discover mixtures and the specific physical properties of matter, such as solubility, conductivity, hardness, magnetism... Through these properties, we will understand the uses and applications of the materials in our daily life. Show Less
