Chemistry tutor near me in Port St. Lucie, FL

Robert tutored a student from New York City on mass spectrometry, ionization energy, and electron affinity, focusing on interpreting mass spectra and understanding periodic trends. The learner practiced identifying molecular ion peaks and stable fragments and worked through problems involving isotopes and electron configurations. They scheduled another lesson to continue studying for their upcoming exam next Wednesday.

Robert and Shae recently engaged in a lesson focused on radical reactions. Their discussion encompassed initiation, propagation, and termination steps, alongside practical exercises in identifying stable radicals and forecasting reaction products. They tackled problems in radical halogenation and synthesis. Robert suggested Shae prioritize reactions and synthesis for her upcoming Organic Chemistry 2 studies and extended an offer to provide textbook solutions and detailed explanations.

A student at California State University, Bakersfield, assisted a peer with an assignment focused on acid-base chemistry. They collaboratively worked through problems involving identifying the most acidic and basic compounds, ranking acidity, and predicting reaction outcomes based on Lewis acid-base theory. They plan to continue their work on assignments next week.

During a recent lesson, an instructor and a student delved into Lewis structures, hybridization, bond angles, formal charges, valence bond theory, dipole moments, intermolecular forces, functional groups, and resonance structures. The learner, a student at Cal Poly Pomona, actively practiced identifying functional groups and drawing resonance structures, receiving valuable corrections and guidance. For continued practice, the instructor assigned additional resonance structure problems and arranged a follow-up lesson to discuss chapter 3.
