This unit is about the behavior of gases.  This is a very mathematical topic as practically all of the relationships we will study are described with a formula.  Gases behave much differently from liquids and solids.  While a molecule of water in ice is identical to a molecule of water in water vapor, the relative far distance between molecules in the gas phase gives water vapor a different set of qualities than we see in ice.


Table Code:  

IT - IsaacsTeach.  This is an online series of tutorials and guides to help with AP Chemistry Topics. They are very well done and align to our class quite well. 

MR - Mark Rosengarten.   This is similar to IsaacsTeach but covers some different topics.  These are often more entertaining than the usual science videos.

TT - Teacher Tools.  Teacher Tools is a set of reference materials, worksheets, and self-quizzes to assist in practice.

Q - Quizlet. This will be a link to a Quizlet on the topic.

Animation - A short clip usually under two minutes long.

PPT - This is an abbreviation for PowerPoint.  Some are originals and others are from other sources.

Podcasts - Podcasts are audio lectures on a topic. Practically all of them on this page are going to be original so it is a good way to reinforce a lecture.

PH - Resources with this code are from a previous textbook that I used.

A Short note about animations and videos.

There are several sources for a complete library of chemistry videos and animations.  For the tutorial videos, I have gone through many of the sources and have chosen two of them that I think are the best.   I looked for the ones that were the clearest, and most entertaining.

PowerPoints & Podcasts

I have several good PowerPoints on Gases and so I included them all.  There is a lot of duplicate information on them so be aware, but each has some points stressed that are not found on the others.  Over time, I hope to edit them out and condense them down. The ones that start with PH is from an alternate text and are presentations on specific units.  The topics are labeled.

Animations

Below are a series of animations for the unit.  I know some are a bit repetitive but they are all short and show the individual gas laws pretty well.  I am trying to include some entertaining ones as well.  I have labeled them FUN.  They are more entertaining but know that they are more for a diversion than a real study guide.

Movies

Movies are longer than animation and can be used as hearing a lecture again. While the animations were more to show the relationships, some of these movies are focused on actually solving problems that you will see.
