Chapter 3 Opening Video
This video sets the stage for what students will learn about radiation from the sun in Chapter 3.
Color and Light
This video explores the relationship between wavelength of light and the apparent color of materials.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
This simulations shows the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy of electromagnetic waves.
Rainbow Flame Demo
This ACS video shows a laboratory demonstration of a flame test, which students can use to answer Your Turn 3.8.
Solar Radiation
This interactive activity shows where UV light comes from, and explores how the atmosphere protects us from UV radiation.
Photosynthesis
This ACS Reactions video explores the question: what if humans could use sunlight to make their own food like plants?
Anti-Wrinkle Cream
This ACS Reactions video explores how anti-wrinkle creams work.
Cancer Statistics
This interactive data on the effect of race on the melanoma incidence rates can be used to answer Your Turn 3.15.
Lewis Structures
This video shows examples of drawing Lewis structures.
Ozone in the Atmosphere
This simulation shows how EM radiation interacts with an ozone molecule.
Ozone Concentrations
This animation demonstrates ozone hole concentrations shown in Figure 3.25.
CFCs in the Atmosphere
This simulation shows the effects that EM radiation has on CFC molecules.
Elephant Toothpaste
This ACS Reactions video shows a fun application of a catalyst.
How Air Conditioning Works
This ACS Reactions video explains how air conditioning works.
Chemistry of Sunscreen
This video explores of how effective sunscreens protect skin from UV light.
Surface/Volume Ratio
