This project was preformed to supply Libretext Authors with videos on General Chemistry topics which can be used to enhance their projects. Also, these videos are meant to act as a learning resource for all General Chemistry students.
Video Topics
Electron spins determine the magnetic properties of an atom. Diamagnetic atom or ion: All the electrons are paired and the individual magnetic effects cancel out. Is only true for atoms whose electron configuration contains completely filled subshells. Paramagnetic atom or ion: Has one or more unpaired electrons. The material is attracted to a magnetic field. Contains unfilled subshells.
