Dynamic Chemistry Educator: Enhancing Understanding Through Interactive Methods and Tailored Lessons.

The session focused on reviewing coordination compounds, including key definitions, ligand types, and dendicity. The Student learned the rules for assigning IUPAC names to coordination compounds, practiced applying these rules to example compounds, and will continue studying the nomenclature rules. The Student also indicated they would postpone the study of isomerism and CFT until next year.

The session focused on reviewing and applying formulas related to acids, bases, and moles calculations. The Student practiced calculating molecular masses, determining the number of moles, and finding the mass of individual atoms and molecules using Avogadro's number. The session concluded with an introduction to empirical and molecular formula calculations, and further practice problems were planned for a future session.

The session covered acid-base chemistry concepts, including Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis definitions. The Student learned about conjugate acid-base pairs, amphoteric substances, and the calculation of dissociation constants for weak acids and bases. The next session will focus on stoichiometric calculations, chemical equations, and data booklet problems.

The session covered transition metals, their properties, oxidation states, and applications. The Student practiced calculating oxidation numbers and learned about catalytic activities and electronic configurations. The lesson concluded with a discussion of trends in oxidation numbers and a brief overview of 3D, 4D, and 5D series elements.

Jesna James guided a student from Antelope Valley College in Palmdale through IUPAC nomenclature rules, covering alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and functional groups like halides, alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones. They practiced naming organic compounds with multiple substituents and functional groups, emphasizing priority rules and alphabetical ordering. The learner was encouraged to practice problems daily and review the nomenclature rules to improve proficiency, with isomerism suggested as a topic for the next lesson.

Jesna and Chloe delved into reaction kinetics during their chemistry lesson, exploring first, second, and zero-order reactions. They derived integrated rate laws for zero and first-order reactions, worked through example problems, and discussed graphical representations of first-order reactions, including half-life calculations. Their next lesson is scheduled to cover collision theory and the Arrhenius equation.
