The invisible forces driving every chemical reaction on Earth
In short: From the rust on a spoon to the fire on your stove, chemical reactions are constant. This video explains the fundamental physics and chemistry that dictate why these transformations occur.
Chemical reactions are governed by two primary underlying forces: enthalpy and entropy. These principles determine whether a reaction is endothermic—absorbing energy—or exothermic, which releases it.
By examining these forces, the video clarifies the 'why' behind the visible changes in matter, providing a foundational look at the mechanics of chemical change.
