Oxidation States
Part 7 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video introduces the concept of an oxidation state, which is a tool used to keep track of electrons in chemical reactions.

Part 6 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video reviews the concept of the mole and shows how to use atomic masses of individual elements to calculate formula masses of covalent and ionic compounds. The video also introduces the concept of stoichiometry conversions.
Part 5 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video introduces valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory and teaches students to predict the geometry of a molecule from its Lewis structure.
Part 4 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video introduces the Lewis structure, which is used to show the connectivity between atoms and the location of valence electrons.
Part 3 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video teaches nomenclature for basic inorganic compounds
Part 2 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video introduces the concept of the atomic orbital and the parameters that describe them.
Part 1 of the Flipped Learning in General Chemistry Series. This video describes the three basic parts of an atom and introduces the shorthand notation that chemists use to describe these parts.
This in-class activity was designed for a Chemical Communications course with second-year students. It is the first part of a two-week segment in which students learn how to use Chemdraw (or similar drawing software) to create digital drawings of molecules.

This course is an introduction to the field of inorganic chemistry. The student is expected to be well-versed in the material covered in general chemistry, as this will serve as the foundation and launching point for the material to be covered this semester. The course will begin by examining the properties of the elements, and expand outward to consider chemical bonding and the electronic factors that govern metal reactivity. These factors include acid-base theory, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and redox, and coordination chemistry.
