Experience interesting Chemistry and Biology Teacher with eye opening teaching approach that helps learners grasp the subject

The Student and Tutor engaged in a detailed review of concepts related to chemical bonding and molecular structure, focusing on electron delocalization, resonance, conjugation, and electronegativity. They practiced identifying polar bonds and molecules and calculating bond order. The session involved solving various practice problems to reinforce these topics.

The class covered stoichiometry, including calculating limiting reactants, moles of products, masses of reactants and products, and percent yield. The student practiced solving problems involving balanced chemical equations, mole ratios, molar masses, and conversions between mass and moles, as well as density calculations. The next session will continue these topics, potentially with new material.

The tutor and student reviewed electron delocalization and pi conjugation, focusing on their application to molecules like ozone and nitrate. They practiced identifying resonance structures, determining bond orders and hybridization, and applying these concepts to solve example problems, with plans to cover acidity and reactivity in future sessions.

The student and tutor reviewed several chemistry topics including periodic trends (atomic size), effective nuclear charge calculation, and redox reactions. They practiced balancing chemical equations, determining limiting reactants through mole calculations, and understanding oxidation states. The session concluded with a plan to continue exploring stoichiometry and limiting reactants in future sessions.

The Tutor and Student reviewed Valence Bond Theory, focusing on orbital overlap, hybridization (sp3, sp2, sp), and the distinction between sigma and pi bonds. They practiced identifying hybridization, counting sigma/pi bonds in molecules like CO2 and C2H4, and discussing rotation and isomerism in single versus double bonds. Future practice on complex molecular structures was planned.

The student worked with the tutor on a set of organic chemistry practice exam questions. They reviewed concepts such as spectroscopy, stereochemistry, isomerism, and nomenclature, practicing problem-solving techniques for various question types. The session concluded with a plan to continue reviewing challenging topics in future meetings.
