Chemistry: Solubility of organic compounds
Description
Organic compounds tend to dissolve well in solvents that have similar properties to themselves. This principle is often referred to as "like dissolves like," which means that polar molecules will generally dissolve well in polar solvents and non-polar molecules will generally dissolve in non-polar solvents.
Chemistry
Did you know that everything is made out of chemicals? Chemistry is the study of matter: its composition, properties, and reactivity. This material roughly covers a first-year high school or college course, and a good understanding of algebra is helpful.
Introduction to intermolecular forces
Intermolecular forces act between neighboring atoms, molecules, or ions, and they can be…

Introduction to intermolecular forces
Intermolecular forces act between neighboring atoms, molecules, or ions, and they can be used to explain pretty much every macroscopic property of matter! We'll be learning about the different kinds of intermolecular forces and how they affect properties such as surface tension.
