  • Practice Problem: Assigning Molecular Structure From an NMR Spectrum

    For this one we need to be able to interpret NMR data in order to arrive at the correct molecular structure based on an empirical formula. It's not as hard as it sounds!

  • Practice Problem: Torque on a Mobile

    You had a baby! Hooray! Now it's time to stop building ramps and pulleys and it's time to start building baby stuff. You love astronomy so you decide to make a mobile of the solar system. But in order to get everything to balance out, we will have to talk about torque and weight. Do some calculations so you can make the best mobile this kid has ever seen!

  • Graphing Conic Sections Part 2: Ellipses

    The next conic section is like a circle, but it's like someone stretched a circle out in a particular direction. It's the ellipse! These are very important in astronomy as most celestial objects follow elliptical paths. Let's learn all about ellipses and how to graph them.

  • Protecting Groups

    I've seen it a thousand times. You wanna do some transformation on a molecule, and it would work so wonderfully if this other functional group wasn't on the molecule to screw it up! You don't even want that other group to do any chemistry at all, isn't there some way to make it sit this round out? Protecting groups to the rescue!

  • Introduction to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)

    With QED covered, it's time to move on the quantum chromodynamics, or QCD. This is the QFT that governs the strong nuclear force, so it explains the behavior and interaction of quarks through mediator bosons known as gluons. What are the symmetries involved for QCD? What are quarks exactly? What is color charge? How can we create Feynman diagrams for this model? Let's talk about it!

  • Leaving Group Derivatives

    Sometimes you really wanna do SN2 but the molecule just isn't right for it. But this isn't like a romantic relationship! People don't change, but molecules do! Use a leaving group derivative and turn a pesky hydroxyl group into a great SN2 leaving group in no time.

  • Introducing the Perfect System in Latin: Present Perfect

    The Perfect System is comprised of three tenses that all describe completely finished actions, the present perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect. All of these tenses are formed from the third principle part of a verb. Let's get some general information about this system and learn how to construct the present perfect tense.
