Chemistry tutorials!
Updated 8/2/26
93 Tutorials, all for you! They cover nearly everything you’d need to know in chemistry, so take a look and find what you need. By the way, if you can’t find something (for example, let’s say you want to find out about concentration but can’t find it under solutions), take a look around and see if you can find it elsewhere. Whatever you want is probably here somewhere.
Acids and bases – Introduction, pH, titrations, 3 definitions (Arrhenius, etc.)Acids and bases – Weak acids and bases, calculations with KaAcids and bases – Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base pairsAtomic theory – Early model: Greeks, DaltonAtomic theory – Law of conservation of massAtomic theory – Isotopes and average atomic massAtomic theory – Modern atom: Plum pudding, Cathode Ray, Bohr, SpectroscopyAtomic theory – Quantum mechanicsAtomic theory – Quantum mechanics and quantum numbersAtomic theory – Orbitals, quantum style!Atomic theory – Electron configurationsAtomic theory – Orbital filling diagramsConcentration – various units of concentration from molarity and beyondCovalent compounds – Covalent bondingCovalent compounds – Properties (incl. how they differ from ionic)Covalent compounds – Covalent naming and formulasCovalent compounds – Lewis StructuresCovalent compounds – Polarity ICovalent compounds – Polarity IICovalent compounds – VSEPR, shapes, bond angles, hybridizationDensity – How to find itElectrochemistry – How batteries workElements, compounds, and mixtures – plus a bonus: what is matterEmpirical and molecular formulas: All the calculationsEquations – BalancingEquations – Word equationsEquations – Types of ReactionEquations – How to make a compoundEquilibria – How equilibria workEquilibria – What it is, Le Chatelier’s principleEquilibria – Equilibrium constants and what they meanEquilibria – Equilibrium constants (K) and reaction quotient (Q)Experimental error – The types of error and how to avoid themGases – Combined and ideal gas lawsGas stoichiometry: Stoichiometry, but with gases.
