The entire field of chemistry summarised in 12mins from simple atoms to the molecules that keep you alive.This video was sponsored by The Great Courses Plus, start your free trial and help out this channel here http://ow.ly/crsQ30beNOZ If you would like to buy a poster of this map, they are available here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/dominicwalliman/works/26426671-the-map-of-chemistry I have also made a version available for educational use which you can find here: https://flic.kr/p/UBS4mf and a widescreen version: https://flic.kr/p/UNA1LW Errata and notes: 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 ‘life’ 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. That’s okay, I’m 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.

If most Education were like this, the efficiency in content assimiliation would be astronomic.
But this video only demonstrates breadth of chemistry knowledge, not the depth
Chemistry education IS very much like this. Undergrad chem degrees in US involve introductory gen chem and organic chem courses that provide a good overview of all the subfields in chemistry. The elective courses you take thereafter go deeper into every subfield - usually you're required to take courses in inorganic, analytical, physical (includes thermo, kinetics, and quantum chem), biochemistry, and lab methods and spectroscopy.
@Juan Pablo what is IB, mister can u tell me more?
@Peter Nguyen mister, I have interested in every subjects, so can u recommend me some websites to understand these disciplines

Great video but you got oxidising agent and reducing agent mixed up
Hey! Great video, very well illustrated and organized. About the drawings in the video, how did you make them? Would love to check that out. Very nice work!
@I Echion Here's a simple explanation: So electrons are negatively charged. Protons are positively charged. When you take away an electron, then that means there are more protons, which means more positive charges than negative, which means it is now positive, and vice versa.
Wait! No he didn't. Look it up. Chemists let's just say suck at naming things. So they called gain of electrons reduction and loss oxidation.
An easy way to remember the correct terms is OILRIG:
Oxidation
Is
Loss
Reduction
Is
Gain
Also, the names do actually make sense if you take more than 5 minutes to look it up. @the guy saying it's just dumb terminology
Electrons are negatively charged. So when an electron is gained, the atom becomes more negative. Charge lowered = reduction.
Domain of Science You’ve made a mistake that every single student/HUMAN, has made.
In chemistry everything possible is upside down. For example pH. The lower, the more acidic (sorry for not proper English). But how? pH is defined as the concentration of H+, so the lower, the more basic is it! Well pH is positive log of 10^-n, therefore lower pH means the concentration is 10^-3, (which is greater than 10^-7), therefore pH3 is more acidic that pH7.
This blows mind and thus is so difficult for young students to comprehend, because they have to fight with these stuff :D
sodium is REDUCING AGENT !!!!
Aren’t all metals???
In this reaction it isnt cuz he is losing electrons (i know it sounds strange but just think that because of the fact that electrons has negative charge is easy to understand why getting electrons is considered a “reduction”’)
@Carlos Silva well yeah exactly, they got it wrong in the video
stopped the video and went down looking for this comment to make sure I didn't go crazy thanks!
Yep
PhD in physical chemistry here, just wanted to say: Very well done, thank you, I'm glad to see quantum chemistry being included.
Whenever someone mentions quantum chemistry I get PTSD type flash backs about Gaussian distributions.
I do not mind the long gaps between videos if the quality is this damn high. Keep up you're inspiring work.👍
i'm very sorry but you mixed up you're (you are) and your (you + someone's)
hmm.. no stoichometry? no moles?
still great though
This is about the concepts, not things like measuring for experiments
I like to refer to hydrogen ions as protons, since that is exactly what they are.
you can btw look it up pretty easily, the wiki article is quite detailed. There protium (in contrast du deterium and tritium) is explicitly named in the paragraph about "variations in properties between isotopes" :)
No. They are only considered protons in Biology.
I know I'm 2 years late but hydrogen ions are protons with 2 electrons. Protons would be hydroxide ions.
edit: Scratch that, I got it the other way around
@Dys functional two electrons would make hydrogen an anion, and no electrons would make it a cation. (I might very possibly be wrong)
@Espectador You are right. What I get for not studying and watching YouTube that late
astronomy maybe?
Astronomy is a branch of physics.
@palazzio65 Even then, astronomy is extremely vast on its own.
Astronomy is a branch of physical science along with physics, chemistry, and earth science which all have its sub-branches.
@monkeyo Archon what is the value of it being interesting when it is fake
@Someone it was a joke...
Get over it as It got over your head
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.

4:55 chlorine is the oxidising agent as it itself is being reduced
Also, spectroscopy is a huge HUGE thing in chemistry; you mentioned it briefly, but should have deserved a lot more air time, especially NMR and infrared spectroscopy. These would fall under the analytical chemistry area. Solvent extractions are also extremely common - the overwhelming majority of syntheses, especially in pharma, require solvent extractions for isolating and purifying your products.
Also, biochemistry can basically be divided into 2 major parts: biomolecules and metabolism. You defined the biomolecules very well but metabolism is equally as important. Metabolism can be divided into 2 parts: catabolic (or breakdown) and anabolic (synthesis) pathways.
you're the domain of science, so is there like a range of science as well, if not it should be a thing!
Cody from Cody's lab once used steam to make activated charcoal.
Did you corrects these little mistakes on the poster ?
Hmm...

Map of cartography
Very unique suggestion!
@Kyle Bennett
Eh, feel it doesnt get enoigh love.
Kyle Bell Chemistry and physics both fall under physical science.
And in the end, that and math all end up under the study of knowledge. Point is, they will always be a part of a great whole. Come to think of it if everything else in science can be theoretically figured out by physics and so everything else falls under physics or physical science. Rather, in something like this, we study something of a great whole, yes, but the overall specicialized depth is what is meant to be examined here, as in a broader map of x thing, get less specialized and specific and detailed into the field.
you got the oxidizing and reducing agents backwards
The Map of Biology next!!!!
Physics -> Chemistry -> Biology!!!!! It must be coming up :)
Chemistry>Biology>Neurology >sociology>economics>politics>computer science> virtual reality>reality building.

Watching this made me realize how difficult chemistry is. Physics was actually easier for me.
where's Nuclear Chemistry?
Nuclear Chemistry is usually treated as a part of physical chemistry, just like magneto chemistry
+palazzio65
Nope, nuclear chemistry which deals with the forces and stability of the nucleus is usually part of physical chemistry curriculum. Radioactive elements itself are of cause mostly inorganic, but the discussion of the forces and process and stability of the nucleaus is a part of physical chemistry. The 3 of the 5 types of radioactive decay are quite often discussed as part of general chemsitry of inroganic chemistry, but core models, like shell model wit hmagic numbers or the liquid drop model are primarily handled in physical chemistry.
+pyropulse
I agree with you, that chemistry is in principle a subset of physics (it's primarily the physics of valence shell electrons), but just in principle. Try describing the behavior of DNA in a strictly physical approach , e.g. in the form of Schrödingers wave function, and we'll see how far you'll get with that approach.
Further nuclear chemistry is far from being primarily focused on isotope purification. That's a pretty trivial and mostly physical process. Nuclear chemistry is, just like a major part of particle physicis, a largely theoretical work based upon quantum mechanics. It focuses e.g. on core stability and core models (and thus the island of stability that you are certainly familiar with). On this level, there is practically no difference anymore between physics and chemistry, physicists and chemists (just like in cellular biology, there is not really a difference between biology and chemistry anymore). The seemingly so obvious borders simply become blurry and disappear into nothingness.
@Frank Schneider Nuclear chemistry is the sub-field of chemistry dealing with radioactivity, nuclear processes, and transformations in the nuclei of atoms, such as nuclear transmutation and nuclear properties.
It is the chemistry of radioactive elements such as the actinides, radium and radon together with the chemistry associated with equipment (such as nuclear reactors) which are designed to perform nuclear processes.
Chemistry is the scientific discipline involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances.[1][2]
In the scope of its subject, chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology.[3] It is sometimes called the central science because it provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level
So, no, It is not a subset of physics, it's a subfield of PHYSICAL SCIENCE like astronomy, geology, etc. Nuclear chemistry is more than physical chemistry, even though, physical chemistry is still being a chemistry field because of chemistry definition.
@Symaris Lord
Honey bunny, I am chemist and you have obviously not the slightest clue, what you are talking about. So better don't try to talk about stuff that you actually don't understand.
In the video there’s only one sentence, that perfectly describes chemistry: “It’s so incredibly complicated.”
Map of computer science next?
“Chemistry is the study of matter, but I like to think of it as the study of change.”
which software do you use to create the maps?
Alex Korocencev I don't know what they use, but it looks like vectors, a free software for which is inkscape
have you found out?
Aidan Fuge Yes but they also animate the art they made so they used a animation tool aswell

Everyone's response: Boo, do the map thing.
Awesome video!
Can we have a "Map of Biology" next?
Mako?
This should be mandatory at the beginning of each school year..
TimmacTR Although it is important to make the students realise how important a subject is, such a lengthy discourse might discourage them from studying about it. don't get me wrong, I loved the video!
i loved the video but it seems like a dry overview for a starting point. topics like biochemistry and molecular biology are a lot more interesting if students get to play around with some experiments as a starting point.
Organic chemistry does NOT look at the chemistry of living things. This idea is dead for at least a century now.
Maybe you should do a map of science in general.
To put it simply, a map of science in general would end up beyond any reasonable scope of a 12 minute lenght video, unless heavy generalization is involved. Plus add that people tend to have arguments what is and isn't a science (as is currently the case with social sciences), so, yeah, it'd be impossible. It's best to just look at it one-by-one.
A map of science.... That would be too long.
You need to compile all the MAP OF VIDS to get your map... LOL!!
@Algis But the basic skeleton of science is actually pretty straightforward. Social Sciences are just really complex biological phenomenon, Biology is just really complex Chemistry, Chemistry is just really complex Physics, and Physics is just really complex....we don't know yet, but it probably has something to do with mathematics. This is the spine of the science from the human scale to the very small, But there's a simultaneous one for science from the human scale to the very big. Geology is just really complex planetary Science, Planetary Science is just really complex Astronomy, and Astronomy is really just complicated Physics, like chemistry but for things on the really large scale. So in a way chemistry and astronomy are almost like the inverses/reciprocals of eachother, as they're both immediately downstream of physics but but on completely opposite scales of magnification.
