GCSE Chemistry - Chemical Energetics

A teaching video for GCSE Chemistry students about the the energy changes associated with chemical reactions.

In this video we cover the energetic profiles for exothermic and endothermic reactions, the association of chemical potential energy with chemical bonds, and how the overall chemical energy change associated with a specific reaction can be calculated from the bond energies of reactant and product particles. We also review the concept of activation energy for a chemical reaction, and explain the action of chemical catalysts in terms of chemical energetics.

I hope you find it useful in your studies and revision.

This video is part of an interactive course on my website:

All teaching videos on my website are INTERACTIVE (with navigation bookmarks and many interactive questions which pop up throughout the video to test your understanding, and many other unique features).

These courses also contain many other interactive features which tailor themselves to the needs of each individual learner, including revision quizzes, exam-style assessments, revision notes, etc.

I'm making use of my experience as a full time science teacher in the UK and my (growing!) understanding of coding, web design, AI and machine learning to apply game theory to science education, with the aim of building the most feature-rich and advanced science e-learning platform anywhere; follow my progress here and at the social networks below, and watch this space!
