Carbon dioxide is a product of one of the most important chemical reactions in the world: combustion. Like water, the bonds in carbon dioxide are POLAR COVALENT, making the carbon atom delta positive and the oxygens delta negative. Although, unlike water, carbon dioxide is not a polar molecule ov
Learn the basics about Testing for hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and chlorine. Why do we need to test these particular gases? Find out more in this video! This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind The Fuse S
Carbon nanotubes, or CNT, are being used to make products stronger, lighter, faster, and more efficient. But are they safe? A growing body of research is raising concerns over the hazards presented by some forms of the material. As ever though, the risk to health depends on who is exposed to what
In this video we are going to look at how to do calculations with standard form. When adding and subtracting numbers in standard form, we need to write the numbers out into ordinary numbers, do the sum and then turn the answer back into standard form. With multiplication and division we can work
Learn the basics about carbon neutral and biofuels, as a part of environmental chemistry. Coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas and gas from fracking are fossil fuels formed hundreds of millions of years ago from living things that got trapped by layers of sediment before they had time to decompose. H
Watch part 2 of the videos on the Carbon Cycle, as a part of environmental chemistry. Mankind has had an influence on the carbon cycle. The carbon dioxide released during respiration is cycled naturally. Same is the case if we burn wood and agricultural waste – even biogas given off from food we t
Watch the first part of our Carbon Cycle videos, as part of environmental chemistry. Photosynthesis and respiration help carbon to be cycled in nature by using energy from the sun. As living things grow, they have to build up large polymer molecules from small molecules. Protein comes from joinin
In this video segment adapted from NOVA, hear physicist and energy expert Amory Lovins explain how to make more efficient cars by making them lighter and more aerodynamic. Explore how the use of carbon fiber can reduce weight without reducing size or durability, and learn about some manufacturing ch
How are fossils actually formed? And why are they formed in some places and not in others? Author: ZDF/Terra X/Spiegel TV/Jens Nicolai/Oliver Roetz/Hauke Ketelsen/Richard Sako Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/TerraX

We all desire to have someone be there for you, someone to lean on, someone to depend on. This dependency can take different forms, from a phase in the firming up of the relationship to an equal give and take… and sometimes it blasts right by the tipping point and goes straight to toxic-ville. We kn
Scientists are studying the role of aerosols and how they contribute to the formation of clouds and rain. The microparticles serve as condensation nuclei on which water condenses. Author: ZDF/Terra X/SPIEGEL TV/Christopher Gerisch/Tilman Remme/Reiner Bauer, Oliver Gurr/Oliver Roetz/Hauke Ketelsen/
