Chemistry on Khan Academy: Did you know that everything is made out of chemicals? Chemistry is the study of matter: its composition, properties, and reactivity. This material roughly covers a first-year high school or college course, and a good understanding of algebra is helpful.
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    @@dominoscustomersupport4373 You have just to remember a strict mathematical rule. LOSS is Less or more negative.The trades are made in chemistry with electrons, particles that are negatively charged. So gaining electrons means becoming MORE negative that is in fact LESS.(-4 is less than -3 mathematically (-4 is a smaller number).

    Your explanation for determining the oxidized and reduced substances and oxidizing agent and reducing agent using concepts of electronegativity and oxidation state was on point. I also liked the whole color scheme that you used to explain the audience. Using Black background which is easy on the eyes, and different colors to represent different atoms/charges is very convenient and helpful. However, I just have one possible correction to make in the first few seconds of video: NaCl is an ionic compound. If you take a sample of table salt (or NaCl), it will not be composed of molecules but Na+ and Cl- ions bounded in a cubic crystal lattice. Ionic compound is the right term to be used for all type of salts.

    Start with the basics and move up from there. Don't stress yourself with over complicated explanations. Try a book that is an easy start. The periodic table- a feild guide to the elements by Paul Parsons and Gail Dixon is a good book for beginners (it's kinda got a rainbow cover with all the element names on it) It mainly has tge uses and a nice little part at the top with the electronic structure on it and fancy stuff like that :)

    There's another way worth remembering. OPPOSITE ATTRACTS! If there is an electrolysis let's say of solution of NaCl then NaCl molecule is decomposed in water. Cl- (negative ions) head to the anode so they are called because of this ANIONS and Na+ ions migrate to the negative electrode (the cathode) so because of this they are named CATIONS and bear the + (plus) sign.
