TED-ED: What triggers a chemical reaction? - Kareem Jarrah

The video tutorial explains the concepts of enthalpy and entropy in chemical reactions. Enthalpy involves the energy changes during reactions, with exothermic reactions releasing energy and endothermic reactions absorbing it. Entropy measures the randomness or disorder in a system, influencing reaction likelihood. The tutorial uses analogies like crazy golf and campfires to illustrate these concepts, showing how energy and disorder drive chemical processes.
