Hi, I am Chirani Lennon! Let’s navigate chemistry together. Let me know what is bothering you and I will let you in on the chemistry secrets!

The class began by reviewing the Student's homework on quantum numbers, which the Student completed successfully. The main academic focus was on SN1, SN2, E1, and E2 reactions, where the Student practiced identifying reaction types and products, leading to a deeper understanding of Zaitsev and Hoffman elimination rules. Additionally, the class introduced and explained the rules for drawing resonance structures, with practical drawing exercises. For follow-up, the Student was assigned homework on drawing resonance structures and further practice questions for SN1/SN2/E1/E2 reactions, and a new Open Stacks textbook was discussed as a resource for future learning.

The Student and Tutor reviewed homework on isomer identification, including enantiomers and diastereomers. They then covered fundamental General Chemistry topics such as quantum numbers and molecular orbitals, before progressing to Organic Chemistry concepts like sigma and pi bonds, hybridization, and resonance. The Student received new practice questions on quantum numbers for homework and agreed to a revised schedule for upcoming sessions.

The Student and Tutor reviewed various types of isomers in Organic Chemistry, including structural, stereoisomers (conformational and configurational), enantiomers, diastereomers, and meso compounds, along with their respective nomenclature (R/S, cis/trans). The Student actively practiced drawing molecular structures and identifying the relationships between different compounds through a series of practice questions. For homework, the Student was assigned additional practice questions focusing on drawing structures, identifying isomer relationships, and reasoning behind those classifications. They also scheduled future sessions to cover bonding and acids/bases.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a comprehensive lecture on isomers in organic chemistry. They covered structural and stereoisomers, delving into conformational isomers (Newman projections, cyclic conformations) and configurational isomers (enantiomers, diastereomers, chirality, meso compounds). The session concluded with a discussion on assigning R/S configurations. As homework, the Student was encouraged to review the material, explain the isomer tree to the Tutor in the next session, and practice problems from Khan Academy to solidify understanding.

The Student and Tutor engaged in extensive practice of organic chemistry nomenclature, working through 50 complex naming problems across various functional groups and structures. They identified common errors related to carbon chain counting and functional group identification, and reviewed the principles of drawing compounds. The next sessions are planned to cover isomers and isomer practice questions.

Student and Tutor reviewed General Chemistry 1 concepts, including periodic trends, bonding types, molecular geometry, and polarity, by going through a practice packet. The session also introduced the concept of hydrogen bonding and the unique properties of Xenon. They scheduled the next two sessions to complete the Gen Chem 1 review and prepare to begin Gen Chem 2 topics, starting with colloids.
