Ionic Bonding [4:18] by Bozeman Sceince
Paul Andersen explains how ionic solids form when cations and anions are attracted. When atoms lose or gain electrons they form ions. The strength of the attraction between ions is based on the amount of charge and the distance between the ions.
Metallic Bonding [4:18] by Bozeman Sceince
In this video Paul Andersen explains how metallic bonding structure creates the different properties of metals. The electron sea model explains how the positive nuclei are locked into a negative sea of delocalized electrons. This sharing of electrons creates metals that are good conductors, malleable, ductile and non-volatile.
Ionic Solids [5:04] by Bozeman Sceince
In this video Paul Andersen explains how ionic solids form a lattice between cations and anions. According the Coulomb's Law the lattice energy increases as the ions carry a larger charge and are smaller. Some of the properties of ionic solids are high melting point, low vapor pressure, brittleness and the inability to conduct electricity.
Metallic Solids [4:15] by Bozeman Sceince
In this video Paul Andersen explains how metallic solids form when delocalized electrons hold the positive nuclei in an electron sea. This model helps to explain the properties of metals like conductivity, shiny appearance, malleability, ductility, and the ability to form alloys.
Covalent Network Solids [6:58] by Bozeman Sceince
Paul Andersen explains how covalent network solids form elementally (like graphite) or by combining multiple nonmetals (like quartz). Covalent network solids contain elements from the carbon group because they have four valence electrons and can create three-dimensional shapes.
Molecular Solids [3:47] by Bozeman Sceince
In this video Paul Andersen describes the structure and explains the properties of molecular solids. High intramolecular forces hold electrons and reduce conductivity, whereas low intermolecular forces decrease the melting point. Important polymers can be formed from monomers and have both commercial and biological value.

Structures of Solids: Part 1 of 6 [6:33] by Dr. Mike Christiansen
In this video Dr. Mike Christiansen teaches you about five different types of solids, with descriptions of their basic characteristics and principle attractive forces. I’ll also teach you about the physical, atomic, and electronic properties of metals and alloys, and I’ll show you how to identify molecules with metallic properties.
Structures of Solids: Part 2 of 6 [7:34] by Dr. Mike Christiansen
In this video Dr. Mike Christiansen teaches you about unit cells and lattice structures for metallic and ionic compounds. I’ll also show you how to deduce a compound’s empirical formula from its unit cell.
Structures of Solids: Part 3 of 6 [8:47] by Dr. Mike Christiansen
In this video Dr. Mike Christiansen teaches you about polymers, including some natural polymers and three classes of synthetic polymers: addition polymers, nylons, and condensation polymers. I’ll also show you how to identify the monomers (building blocks) used to make these three classes of synthetic polymers.
Structures of Solids: Part 4 of 6 [1:54] by Dr. Mike Christiansen
In this video Dr. Mike Christiansen shows you how to determine a compound’s lattice structure from its unit cell.
Structures of Solids: Part 5 of 6 [1:44] by Dr. Mike Christiansen
In this video Dr. Mike Christiansen shows you how to determine a compound’s empirical formula from its unit cell.
Structures of Solids: Part 6 of 6 [5:28] by Dr. Mike Christiansen
In this video Dr. Mike Christiansen shows you how to identify monomers used to construct two different kinds of polymers: a nylon and a polyester.
