When I followed the instructions in the video with Guil, we are instructed to apply :only-child which gives the properties to the unordered list. When I applied the properties such as font-size and color, the color was omitted but the font size was applied. I then tried this on the Mozilla browser and the color and font size were applied properly. Not sure what is going on but thought I would lets others know I also had this issue.

I ran into the exact same issue. In Chrome it doesn't display properly, but in Firefox and Edge is looks like demonstrated in the video.
'''/* Structural Pseudo-classes------------------ */
li:first-child { background: #52bab3; color: white; }
li:last-child { border: none; }
:only-child { color: #52bab3; font-size: 1.5em; }'''

231,198 PointsChrome is fully compatible with "only-child". It could be you have other CSS that is interfering with the size setting.
To facilitate analysis, always provide the complete code (formatted using Markdown) or make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
