Chemistry concepts taught by Robert
The Tutor and Student reviewed calculating atomic mass from isotopic abundances, determining ion charges based on periodic group numbers, and performing various unit conversions. They also practiced problem-solving strategies for these topics to prepare for an upcoming exam.
Understanding Isotopes and Atomic Mass
Calculating Average Atomic Mass
Ion Formation and Charges
Percent by Mass
Unit Conversions: Metric and Customary Systems
The student and tutor reviewed amino acid structure, properties, and charge states at different pH levels. They practiced drawing amino acid forms, identifying amino acids in peptide chains, and understanding concepts like isoelectric points and N/C termini. The next steps will involve further practice with these concepts, especially concerning pH-dependent ionization.
Amino Acid Structure and Properties
pH
pKa
and Amino Acid Ionization
Isoelectric Point (pI)
Peptides and Protein Structure
Chirality in Amino Acids
The student and tutor reviewed homework assignments covering chemical nomenclature, stereochemistry (R/S configurations), and the use of curved arrows in reaction mechanisms. The student is expected to continue practicing these concepts and utilize provided review materials.
Curved Arrows in Organic Chemistry
Stereochemistry
Chemical Nomenclature
The session involved a review of organic chemistry concepts, including formal charges, isomers, resonance, hybridization, bond angles, Lewis acids and bases, and reaction mechanisms. The student and tutor worked through example problems to identify areas of difficulty, primarily attributed to test anxiety and a need for more practice. Future sessions will focus on specific homework problems and quizzes to prepare for an upcoming exam.
Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs
Lewis Acids and Bases
Electronegativity and Dipole Moments
Molecular Geometry and Hybridization
Identifying Isomers
Resonance
and Identical Compounds
Formal Charge Calculation
The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts related to stereoisomers, including identifying chiral centers and determining R/S configurations. They practiced these skills using various structural representations and discussed the definitions of enantiomers, diastereomers, and constitutional isomers, with plans to review Exam 1 and prepare for Exam 2.
Chirality and Chiral Centers
Stereoisomers: Enantiomers
Diastereomers
and Constitutional Isomers
Assigning R/S Configuration (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog Rules)
Interconverting Stereoisomers in Different Representations
The student and tutor reviewed challenging problems from an organic chemistry homework assignment, focusing on reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, and reagent behavior. They discussed SN1, SN2, and E2 reactions, as well as the use of deuterated reagents in reduction. The tutor provided guidance on drawing mechanisms and interpreting reaction outcomes.
