Metals

This short video whistles through most of the chemistry of cobalt complexes. The structures of the complexes and the thermodynamic and equilibrium factors are discussed briefly. The acidity of hexaaqua cations is considered, together with the dual role of ammonia solution as a Bronsted base and as a ligand. This is just one of several videos covering the chemistry of transition metals and their compounds.

The Organization of the Periodic Table based upon trends of Electonegativity, Eletron Affinity and Ionization Energy.

How does electroplating work? It is a process where you usually take an object made of one type of metal, and cover it with a thin layer of another type of metal. Usually, precious metals like gold, silver, or platinum are the metals that are electroplated. In an electroplating cell, electrons are removed from one of the metals, which is an oxidation process that happens at the anode. This causes the metal to develop a charge turn into an ion, and allows it to dissolve in the solution. Then, at the cathode, reduction takes place, and the metal ion turns into a neutral atom, and sticks to the surface of the other metal.
