The Student and Tutor reviewed key concepts in organic chemistry, specifically focusing on isomers, cis/trans nomenclature, functional groups, and addition reactions of alkenes and alkynes. They practiced applying Markovnikov's Rule to predict products of hydration reactions. The Student was advised to practice additional problems and to convert homework into PDF format for future sessions, with a follow-up session pending confirmation.

Student and Tutor reviewed organic chemistry nomenclature, focusing on cyclic alkanes, their properties, and reactions. They then moved on to alkyl halides, and the introduction of alkenes and alkynes, including their structure and naming rules. The session concluded with a practice problem, and the Tutor suggested reviewing textbook problems for independent practice.

The Student and Tutor began their session with an introduction to organic chemistry, discussing its relevance and the focus on nomenclature for the student's textbook. They reviewed the definition of organic compounds, types of hydrocarbons, different molecular representations, and then delved into the detailed rules and practice of naming alkanes, including identifying parent chains, substituents, and structural isomers. The Tutor provided a nomenclature table for the Student to review and prepare for future sessions.

The session was an introductory demo for Honors Chemistry for a student interested in engineering, with a parent briefly joining at the start and end. The Tutor explained the course's scope, comparing it to Biology, and reviewed fundamental concepts like phases of matter, units, significant figures, and the basic interpretation of the periodic table. A lesson plan was shared, and future session scheduling was briefly discussed.

The Student and Tutor worked through several chemistry practice questions covering topics like ion identification, physical versus chemical changes, and the Periodic Law. They then conducted a detailed review of significant figures, including their rules for identification and application in calculations. The session concluded with a discussion and practice of Parts Per Million (PPM) and Parts Per Billion (PPB) calculations, with the Tutor providing additional practice materials.

The student and tutor reviewed a chemistry exam, focusing on concepts such as water's solvent properties, solubility rules, Bronsted-Lowry theory, and solution concentration calculations. The tutor provided detailed feedback on the student's answers, highlighting areas where the instructor's grading was overly strict regarding units and the presentation of work.
