After a short discussion of why chemical bonding occurs, this program explains how electrons are shared in covalent compounds. Viewers learn about the VSEPR theory, the two types of weak forces of attraction between molecules, dipole interactions and dispersion forces, and covalent network solids such as diamond, graphite, and fullerenes. With the assistance of animated graphics, the video provides a concise introduction to the key elements of covalent bonding.

Explores the phases of matter—solids, liquids, and gases—and how particles in a given phase interact with each other. Phase diagrams explain at what temperature and pressure a given substance will be in a solid, liquid, or gas phase. Practical problems, like how to safely store enough hydrogen gas to power an automobile, are solved by understanding the different behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases.
