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

Electronegativity (EN): A measure of an atom’s ability to compete for electrons with other atoms to which it is bonded. Electronegativity depends on an atom’s ability to attract electrons (related to EA) and the ability of an atom to hold onto electrons (related to IE). EN follows the same trends as IE and EA in that it increases as we travel to the right and up on the periodic table. An important exception to this trend is that noble gases have relatively low electronegativity.
