Atoms bond to 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 simple oxygen to complex human chromosome 13, George Zaidan and Charles illustrate the chemical bond.
The uncertain location of electrons
This video serves as a quick introduction to chemistry on the first day of class. It gives an over view of atoms, and how the dynamic social network of atoms creates this beautiful world around us.
