Chemistry concept taught by Robert
Robert provided support to Katie for her biology coursework, delving into topics such as cell theory, the domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya), and the concept of LUCA. Their discussion also touched upon surface tension, the pepper and soap experiment, and the electrical conductivity of the human body. Katie plans to reattempt her quiz questions, and they have arranged a subsequent lesson to tackle scientific notation and unit conversions in preparation for an upcoming lab quiz.

During a recent lesson, Robert helped an individual from Cape Coral review electron configurations, isotopes, and ions in preparation for a chemistry exam. The learner practiced problems related to electron configurations, determining the number of subatomic particles in isotopes and ions, and using the equations E=hv and c=λv to solve for energy, frequency, and wavelength. They also discussed strategies for memorizing formulas and managing test anxiety.

During a recent lesson, Robert tutored Ajay in chemistry, specifically preparing him for an upcoming exam. Their focus included a thorough review of formulas for wavelength, frequency, and energy calculations. Ajay actively engaged in practicing unit conversions and problem-solving techniques, utilizing equations like c=λν and E=hν. To reinforce the concepts, Robert assigned additional practice problems and arranged a follow-up lesson to delve into electron configurations and other related topics.
Speed of Light Formula (C=λν)
