Chemistry Concept Film Clips

 

Loads of films explaining basic concepts in chemistry  especially atomic structure - very simple and easy to understand

 

Chemistry 100

 

Good movies of reactions of alkali metals plus good animations of the melting of ice and sodium chloride dissolving.  Some of the topics are a bit advanced

 

Chemistry resources  - Unit 4

 

A huge resource with lots and lots of videos on atomic structure some lasting up to 40 minutes.  Many of these are very good for Leaving Certificate work.

 

Chemistry resources  - Unit 5

 

Similar to above but dealing with electrochemistry

 

Tiger Chemistry

 

A good selection of pictures of all things to do with atomic structure plus other things.  Some good animations of electron behaviour.

 

Basic Atomic structure

 

Introduction to organic chemistry at Illinois State University - some useful stuff but a little dull

 

Media Portfolio

 

Another excellent resource with a massive amount of diagrams and animations on all aspects of atomic structure.  Well worth a visit.  Probably the best site overall.

 

Bohr's Theory

 

Good description of Bohr,s Theory.  A liitle wordy but good illustrations and explanations

 

Sigma and Pi Bonds

 

How sigma and Pi Bonds are formed.  No commentary but silly oriental pop music.  Animation quite understandable.
