  • Hank does his best to convince us that chemistry is not torture, but is instead the amazing and beautiful science of stuff. Chemistry can tell us how three tiny particles - the proton, neutron, and electron - come together in trillions of combinations to form ... everything. In this inaugural episode of Crash Course Chemistry, we start out with one of the biggest ideas in chemistry ever - stuff is made from atoms. More specifically, we learn about the properties of the nucleus and why they are important to defining what an atom actually is.

    In high school, I was very excited to take a Chemistry class. However, a few months in, it became my least favorite class. A bunch of the more rowdy students hijacked the class and often distracted the teacher - I learnt nothing, and it showed on tests. I eventually came to dislike Chemistry, treating it as a dirty word. But now, only one video in, a decent teacher has reminded me exactly why I was so excited in the first place.
    Thank you, Hank!

      Did your school not have prerequisites for chemistry? At my high school, a student could not enroll in chemistry until they had completed algebra 1 and geometry, and could not enroll in physics until they had completed algebra 2/trigonometry. This had the effect of weeding the disruptive students out, as they were still languishing in pre-algebra or remedial arithmetic.

    Back in my sophomore year, my teacher never taught us any of these. Instead, of actual chemistry lecture, he gave us articles and forced us to highlight, annotate, and write an essay about it ( more work than my actual English class). Now I have to take a Chemistry placement exam in one week, and I glad that I found you guys or else I will fail and have to pay for more classes in college.

CC, have you ever thought of doing a series with Hank on Science History? A series where each video explores the life and accomplishments of notable scientists such as Einstein, Newton, Goddard, Tesla, Copernicus etc. would be awesome to see from you guys. Looking forward to whatever's next for CC!

Hank acts as a brilliant broker of knowledge between the worlds of academia and the layman. For me personally this has been as exciting and as accessible as my experiences with Brian Greene, Charles Van Doren, and Carl Sagan. The enthusiasm and humor keeps me fully engaged at a constant clip, not to mention the sharing of this information broken down into something highly digestible for the masses is downright inspiring.

Physics is more general, and it's better if you want to find a "Theory of Everything". But chemestry is the tool for studying more deeply specific things down to the individual molecules

Stoichiometry is a big part of it so try focusing on that because a lot of the conversions you will be doing will rely on that. Good Luck!
