Learn by Building
Build atoms from protons, neutrons and electrons, fill shells and orbitals, and work on a live periodic table. Every Check names the exact mistake.
Build every atom from protons, neutrons and electrons, and read what the numbers on its symbol mean.

Read, listen, test yourself, ask the AI about your own bench, or look up anything you've already covered. Every lesson meets you where you are.
Everything around you is matter, and all matter is made of tiny particles called atoms.
A substance made of only one kind of atom is an element. There are 118 known elements.
The periodic table lists every element with its symbol: H for hydrogen, O for oxygen.

- The molecules in your food. Find the hydroxyl groups of a sugar, the carboxyl group of a fatty acid and the amino group of an amino acid on their structural formulas.
- Chemistry you can check on a label. Work out the energy in a portion from its fat, carbohydrate and protein, and see why a preservative keeps food safe.
- Lab skills before the lab. Make a solution of a set concentration, choose how to separate a mixture, test for ions and plan a titration, every calculation checked.
- Exam-style practice. The last chapter is problems shaped like exam questions, each one a challenge you solve on a board.
Frequently asked questions about food chemistry
What does the Food Chemistry and the Lab section cover?
Carbohydrates from sugars to starch and cellulose, fatty acids and fats, saturated and unsaturated, proteins and peptide bonds, food energy, vitamins and preservatives, then lab skills: safety, measuring, making solutions, separating mixtures, titration, tests for ions and rate experiments, with a final chapter of exam-style practice problems.
What is food chemistry?
The chemistry of what we eat: the molecules of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, how they store and release energy, and how cooking, storage and additives change them. A fat, for example, is an ester of glycerol and three fatty acids.
What lab skills does the section teach?
Working safely, measuring mass and volume, making a solution of a given concentration, separating mixtures by filtering, evaporating and distilling, testing for common ions, measuring a reaction's rate, and carrying out a titration and its calculation.
How long is the Food Chemistry and the Lab section?
Seven chapters and 27 lessons, each a few minutes long. Finishing it earns a free, verifiable certificate.
What's the fastest way to learn Food Chemistry and the Lab?
Write Food Chemistry and the Lab every day. Coddy's course is structured exactly for that: short interactive lessons, immediate exercises, and AI hints when you stall. You spend more time coding Food Chemistry and the Lab than waiting on long video lectures.
Do I get a Food Chemistry and the Lab certificate when I finish?
Yes. When you complete the Food Chemistry and the Lab course you receive a free certificate of completion that you can share on LinkedIn or add to your resume.
