Two electric circuits are compared in this video. In one, electrons flow continuously in a copper wire. In the other, copper forms only part of the conductive path; the rest is an electrolytic solution and a platinum electrode. Filmed sequences and models show the migration of the copper ions and the removal and addition of electrons.

Strong attractive forces act between the molecules of H2O in ice and water. An electron-pair repulsion model combines with several tetrahedral models to explain why H2O molecules are constructed in a V-shape. From this, and the polarity of the H2O bond, the video deduces that H2O is a dipole molecule and that attractive electrostatic forces (hydrogen bonding) act between the molecules of H2O.

Magnesium strips and hydrochloric acid react at different temperatures. The decrease in reaction time at higher temperatures is demonstrated by a model showing the particle velocity (Maxwell) distribution. In a combustion experiment, the effect of concentration of the reactants is clearly shown. There is an emphasis on oxygen supporting all forms of combustion - including life.

Many useful substances are found in solution; sea salt is one of them. Sodium chloride and magnesium chloride can be extracted from sea-water by crystallisation. some substances can pass directly from solid to gas desublimation and sublimation. This phenomenon is utilized in the production of freeze-dried foods and pharmaceuticals.
