Geology 3 (An Overview of Atoms and Chemical Bonds)

This video is a short primer on atoms, chemical bonds, pH, isotopes, and molecules in preparation for the subsequent videos on minerals and rocks. Closed captioned.

Im 24 years old, from the Netherlands, I dropped out of highschool because of severe mental illness, I have a passion for Geology and Science, thank you for teaching me these interesting things! In 2 weeks I'm finally going back to school to get my pre-university secondary education degree and then I will study Geology and get my bacherlor's degree!

I am absolutely thrilled that I found this site. After struggling with this concept, I finally “get it”!!! Thank you for sharing your “gift” of teaching.

I wish I had you in high school. My chemistry ‘teacher’ said here- memorize this by next week. I dropped the class - so so love physical geology now. 50 years later lol

Loving this class. I noticed that COVID created an environment in which instructors like I assume you are, were put in a position where you had to make digital content or at least record your classes. And so if COVID did have any good to it, it was that folks like yourself decided to share your content with us. I already went to college and with 3 kids going back is an impossible challenge at the moment. But I never want to stop learning and this is what I would expect taking this in a classroom setting. And no homework unless i want to go look at a road cut or go rock hounding.

Thank you. 😊

I'm 65 and just starting these courses this week! This is a fantastic series.

Thats cool last time i saw the periodic table it did not have the formation in stars portion, very neat! Especially when you think about how rare the heavy elements really are, or should be unless there were alot more neutron stars in the past which is quite possible dunno.

Such wholesome enthusiasm and pedagogy! Thank you for sharing knowledge in a captivating way. Wish you more subscribers because this channel deserves it. Very grateful indeed, always learning something new here. Sending peace and blessings.

I just learned about your lecturing series this past Christmas and didn't know it back in 2015-16 when it began. Thanks for having made this series available via YT, 👍. This 3rd lesson is harder than 2nd one even though I still like Geology in general. One thing for sure, I could never be a pharmacist in this lifetime. 👵

Thanks for sharing your videos. I am a biology teacher here in the philippines that love geology.

[josealexandrearaujonogueir]

your videos made my study routine so much enjoyable, thanks professor.

I've never studied such a subject in school because of being in "special lasses" to help me pass school and get a diploma. Studying all this for the first time I pretty much understood the material except the part about what is a ion and let alone why it acts the way it does. Also in the PH scale section of the video is the H in PH mean hydrogen ions???? Even though as I've stated I do not understand the ion part of the lecture. I'd say pretty good over all for myself with a learning disability.

[AGDinCA]

Oh boy! Lesson 3 done! I cannot lie - this was a tough one to get through. LOL

On to Minerals!

suddenly my brain find windows of knowledge satisfating cool the best way to utilising our internet

Matter like human life can be transformed but not destroyed or created. Life is positive energy moving

[josephcline]

Very interesting lectures! So what is this Professor's name?

[tvviewer]

Can you do courses on organic chemistry and physics and electricity? I'd pay for it!!

[reidogarimpo]

Good Morning . What's your take on these ion detectors that claim to detect gold at a long distance? Is this possible or is it false? Thank you very much

Why do we need to know chemistry to understand geology
