DoS: Water, the least explody or burny thing around. Alkali Metals: Hold my electron.
Chemistry is about the things that matter.
4:45 In this reaction, Chlorine (Cl) gains an electron and gets reduced so it is oxidising Sodium (Na), therefore it should be oxidising agent and Sodium (Na) vice-versa should be reducing agent.
Short answer: periodic table Long answer: periodic table doing stuff

Hey thanks for all the feedback everyone. There have been a bunch of great comments keeping me in check when I have got things wrong, and loads of people saying they enjoy this content which is very encouraging. Unfortunately I made a few mistakes, so here are a few clarifications. I have also put these in the description. This list is longer than I would like, so I'm going to try harder on the next videos to get things perfect! Thanks everyone. 1. I got the Oxidising Agent and the Reducing Agent the wrong way around! Sodium is the Reducing agent and Chlorine is the Oxidising agent. My confusion was that when a sodium atom looses an electron it becomes oxidised, so in my simple brain, I called it the oxidising agent. That is wrong because the agent that oxidises the sodium is the chlorine atom and so the labels are the wrong way around. Doh! 2. I drew the hydrogen H2 molecule with a double bond but it should be a single bond because they are bonded with a single covalent bond. 3. Where I have drawn carbon dioxide, the carbon should have a double bond to each of the oxygens. 4. Apparently Feynman diagrams are not that useful for theoretical chemistry, so perhaps that wasn't the best choice for the illustration. The feedback in the comments from a real theoretical chemist is "All we deal with is shuffling around electrons, but many many many electrons, so a Feynman diagram would need to be huge but at the same time would be very very repetitive." 5. In analytical chemistry, I should have called it distillation rather than precipitation. 6. My definition of organic chemistry being about โlifeโ is not very good. I should have said that organic chemistry looks at compounds that contain carbon. But there are some compounds in inorganic chemistry that also contain carbon, like carbon dioxide so I guess I'd also have to state that inorganic chemistry is almost everything else. 7. I said that fuels are inorganic chemistry which is misleading when I drew a car next to it. My understanding is that there are inorganic fuels that don't contain carbon, but obviously all the fuels we are familiar with are organic. I thought a picture of a car would tie a few things together elegantly, but it ended up giving the wrong impression. Thatโs okay, Iโm still learning! :D 8. In inorganic chemistry, I should have stated that all natural minerals fall under inorganic chemistry so as not to be misleading, otherwise you might go way thinking that only man-made substances fall under inorganic chemistry which is not true. I said that 'a lot of the inorganic compounds that are studied are man-made' meaning that the cutting edge of research is mostly man-made substances. 9. Apparently water is not the most inflammable substance. I thought it was so that is interesting. 10. In the bonding section, hydrogen bonding and van der waals forces are technically inter molecular forces.

No one: Schools: Wanna learn about water for a semester?
This guy taught me 12 years of chemistry in just 12 minutes. Legend
Map Of Computer Science Map Of Quantum Mechanics Map Of Nuclear Physics Map Of Engineering Map Of Philosophy Great Video By The Way !
I do not mind the long gaps between videos if the quality is this damn high. Keep up you're inspiring work.๐
I'd make a chemistry joke... but I wouldn't get a reaction
These maps of science really gives me a broad perspective of what I'm studying. THANKS FOR MAKING IT CLEAR๐๐๐
Almost done with my masters in chemical engineering and I have to say this video does a good job of covering what you are going to study in chemistry. To me my favourite field is biochemistry, there is something magical about witnessing the incredible framework of chemical substances in living organisms and the fact that we are able to manipulate it (albeit slightly) is nothing short of a miracle.
Yes! We've been waiting for this one! Great video.
One thing i liked a lot back when i was being taught some chem, was the Van der Waals bonding. It's the first bond which is really very weak, but has a great impact. Good stuff!
Map of Maps
We're gonna need a Map of all these Maps soon, I'm obsessed with these videos, thank you for doing the lords work
I get really nervous and confused when ppl tell me to "follow along" without knowing the bigger picture of concepts, so this video really helps as a guide with that, the video also re-enforces what i already know, to make sure i understood it correctly. Thank you for doing this and putting it out for the world :)
