Let's take a journey together through Chemistry starting from the very beginner basics and work our way up. Here's the first two videos I want you to watch and comment on linkThen view this video, as the first video was merely a precursor: Michael Piziak, B.S., M.A.

I definitely have a finite capacity to understand chemistry, lol.
Hank Green is always good, though.

My understanding only goes so far also. I took Chemistry 101 and 102 (totaling 8 college hours since they had labs with them).
I'll continue posting the videos until I read a point where I can't understand what's going on myself. I wouldn't ask anyone to try to comprehend something or discuss something that I, myself, can't also understand.
In saying that. I thought these first 2 videos were fairly simple. And yet, he says that you just learned more about Chemistry than they knew in the year 1900! I also like the fact that he said Chemistry or the Atomic structure is a theory, but in Science, a theory is more than just a "guess." In Science, a theory is a well tested idea or set of ideas - like Gravity and Evolution are theories. I'll make a post, perhaps in the General section here, how there are many many theories in Science that are well tested and proven. The only thing I can think of that is more tested and proven than a theory is a Scientific law. It was also interesting to view that Einstein himself proved that atoms exist, with his math, and put all the debate to rest whether or not atoms exist.

Here is the next video I'd like us to watch, & discuss if you will, which is Crash Course Chemistry #2
Mostly what I learned was a refresher on what significant figures are in Science (or math).
So farm, so easy, eh? And yes, this guy is very entertaining/funny!
