In this chapter, you will learn about the various components that make up your cell phone, tablet, or other portable electronic device. Perhaps most importantly, you will discover where these components came from and what happens to them after their lifetime is finished. Here you will find the videos, simulations, and articles for both the 10th Edition and the 2024 Release:
This video sets the stage for what students will learn about chemistry's central role in electronic devices in Chapter 1.
This video explains how touchscreens on electronic devices work.
This PhET simulation shows atoms and molecules in different states of matter and helps students answer Your Turn 1.2.
This video shows the three phases of carbon dioxide that occur in the extraction of limonene.
