School Science concepts taught by Himani
The Student and Tutor reviewed fundamental chemistry concepts including electronic configuration, isotopes, and valence electrons. They then explored nanotechnology, its applications, and risks before delving into the historical development and organization of the periodic table, specifically comparing Mendeleev's table with the modern one. The session concluded with practice on identifying period and group numbers, with follow-up homework assigned.
Electronic Configuration & Valence Electrons
Isotopes & Atomic Number Calculations
Nanotechnology: Scale
Applications
& Concerns
Periodic Table Evolution: Mendeleev vs. Modern
Student and Tutor reviewed the chapter on atomic structure, electronic configuration, and subatomic particles. They practiced identifying ground and excited states, writing electronic configurations for ions, and solving problems related to mass number, isotopes, and unit conversions. Homework was assigned to learn atomic numbers up to 20 and to practice the discussed questions, with plans to start the periodic table chapter in the next session.
Ground State vs. Excited State Electronic Configuration
Electronic Configuration of Ions
Half-filled and Fully-filled Subshell Stability (Cr & Cu Exceptions)
Fundamental Atomic Structure & Terminology
Shells and Subshells: The Electron's Home
The Tutor and Student reviewed fundamental chemistry concepts, including atomic structure, electron configuration rules, and the definitions of shells, subshells, and orbitals. They practiced writing ground state electronic configurations for various elements and learned how to determine an element's group and period from its configuration. For homework, the Student was assigned to revise the chapter and practice periodic table related questions from the shared material.
Atomic Structure & Electron Orbitals
Rules for Electron Filling
Ground State Electronic Configuration
Ground State vs. Excited State
Relating Electronic Configuration to the Periodic Table
The Student and Tutor reviewed basic atomic structure, including protons, neutrons, and mass numbers, before diving into isotopes and radioactive decay with practical applications like carbon dating. They then explored the concepts of excited electrons, energy levels, and atomic emission spectra, linking electron transitions to the colors observed in light. For homework, the Student was assigned a question related to these concepts.
Atomic Number & Mass Number Basics
Isotopes: Same Element
Different Neutrons
Radioactive Decay & Carbon-14 Dating
Excited Electrons & Energy Level Jumps
Atomic Emission Spectra: Light from Falling Electrons
Bohr Model & Energy Quantization (ΔE = hf)
The Tutor and Student reviewed fundamental chemistry concepts, including the definition of elements, matter, and the three states of matter. They then explored the organization of the periodic table, differentiating between metals and nonmetals, their properties, and the formation of ionic bonds. The session concluded with a detailed discussion of specific groups (Alkali Metals, Halogens, Noble Gases), transition elements, atomic structure, and how to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom, including isotopes. The Student was assigned to revise these topics for homework.

Ionic Bonding
Key Periodic Table Groups
Atomic Structure and Numbers
Elements and States of Matter
The Student and Tutor reviewed basic chemistry concepts including electron shell filling rules and the organization of the periodic table. They discussed key periodic trends such as atomic size variations across periods and down groups, elaborating on the shielding effect. The session also covered the characteristics of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, along with an introduction to periodic table blocks. The Student practiced electronic configurations for various elements, and the Tutor planned to acquire the Student's Year 11 VCA Chemistry syllabus for the next session.
