  • Chemistry for General Biology students. This video covers the nature of matter, elements, atomic structure and what those sneaky electrons do. AND as a bonus, I cover Lewis dot diagrams, which most of you won't see in your Gen Bio class but they will help you SO MUCH you'll wonder how you've lived without them!

    I last took a Chemistry class in my sophomore year of high school. Now I'm in my first year of college as a nursing student. This video helped me refresh all of the information I learned in Chemistry in 20 minutes rather than the entire year my teachers took, and it was also explained the information in a much better way. Now I am confident that I am ready for my Chemistry and Human Anatomy class in college with both start off with the basics of Chemistry. Thank you, ThePenguinProf, you made Chemistry fun to learn!

    As someone who is attempting to get back into school after dropping out of college 3 years ago, this video has helped me greatly understand the basics in chemistry, which I had no prior knowledge of. Thank you making this and hope with these videos I will pass my admission test without any struggles.
