Carbon... SO SIMPLE: Crash Course Biology
#1
CrashCourse
The most revolutionary course in biology of all time begins. Learn
about covalent and ionic and hydrogen bonds. What about electron
orbitals and the octet rule, and what does it all have to do with a
madman named Gilbert Lewis. It 's all contained within [ Music ]
Carbon is willing and interested to bond with lots of different
molecules like hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, nitrogen, or to other
molecules of carbon. It can do this in infinite configurations, allowing
it to be the core atom of complicated structures that make living
things like ourselves. Life is entirely based on this element. Carbon
is the foundation of biology. The little Lewis dot structure that we
use to represent how atoms bond to each other is something that
was created by a troubled mad genius. It 's not some abstract
scientific thing that 's always existed. It's a tool that was thought. up
by a guy, and it was so useful that we 've been using it ever since in
biology, most compounds can be displayed in lewishish dot structure
form..
Instead of sharing electrons atoms just completely wholeheartedly
donate or accept an electron from another atom and then live
happily as a charged atom.. The. Most common ionic compound in
our daily lives is UH salt UH sodium chloride NaCl. This stuff despite
its deliciousness as I mentioned previously, is made up of two really
nasty chemicals, sodium and chlorine. The strength of covalent
bonds varies wildly. How these bonds are made and broken is
intensely important to life and and to our lives making and breaking
bonds is in fact the key to life itself.. Even the sexiest person you
have ever met in your life is just a collection of organic compounds
rambling around..
