The video that demonstrates how to calculate RAM from isotope mass and relative abundance

In this episode:

• Why do we see decimal places in atomic mass on the periodic table
• What are isotopes, and how do they differ from each other?
• What are the differences in the behaviour of different isotopes?
• Relative abundance
• How do we calculate relative atomic mass considering relative abundance and isotope mass

In this episode we consider how quantum mechanics effects the atomic model and more:

• There's more to electron shells
• Subshells and orbitals
• 3D shape of orbitals
• Orbitals, bond angles and shape of molecules
• The reason the periodic table gets broader down the table

Studying advanced chemistry can't really be as difficult as people make out, can it?

TLDR: Don't miss the tips that start from minute 10!

Whether you're just thinking about studying chemistry at A-Level or Highers, whether you've committed to do so, or whether you've already started your course you will be aware of all the rumours and worries about what it's like and how difficult it is.

In this episode we look at these questions and concerns about A-Level chemistry:

• The chemistry is a big step up!
• Is memorising the syllabus enough?
• Is it starting again in chemistry?
• Did GCSE chemistry lie to me?
• Does getting a good GCSE grade mean I'll get a good A-Level grade?
• There's a lot of calculations
• The maths is very hard
• the exams are very difficult and require lots of understanding

Hear my golden rule about getting all the exam marks you deserve.

I also give quick tips of what you should include in your answers.
