Hello! If you are reading this, you may be someone interested in learning more about the following topics in Chemistry: Moles and molar masses, empirical and molecular formula, percent purity, combustion analysis, mass percent, mixtures, mass spectrometry, electron configuration, periodic trends, and valence electrons and ionic compounds, and PES (photoelectron spectroscopy). These are all the topics that will be covered in our meetings, each being 3 hours long and once a week. Meetings will be held Mondays at 3:30 P.M. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time). Furthermore, I will also be posting sessions as we go along the way. You only see 2 sessions now because as the series progresses, more sessions will be added according to how the class and I feel concerning moving forward. Once all topics have been fully covered and reviews have been done, I will end the series. Meetings will be broken up as following: 5 minutes waiting for late learners and icebreakers sometimes 25 minutes reviewing content or material from last session. For the first session, this will be substituted for getting to know the learners better and smoothly transitioning into the main topic of the session 1 hour and 30 minutes discussing problems whether that is through Khan Academy, Quizzizz (now called Wayground), or a mix of both (I tend to use the AP Chemistry quizzes on Khan Academy to guide discussion). The remaining hour will be used for Q&A, homework assistance, or practice AP Chemistry FRQ’s and MCQ’s relating to atomic structure and properties. For homework assistance, please refrain from sharing any personally identifiable information on the document in question. This includes your school’s name, teacher’s name, your full name, or your school’s address. Documents can be shared via Zoom chat. In addition to this, please comply with all rules pertaining to Schoolhouse.world policy. While I intend for this series to be for anyone interested in Chemistry, I do use a lot of AP Chemistry material. I highly recommend that everyone who joins has taken Algebra 1 or at minimum has knowledge in SI (International System of units) conversions, manipulating algebraic expressions and equations, using significant figures, using scientific notation and using percentages. This part of Chemistry is a lot less math heavy so feel free to join my series, even if you don’t have a lot of math experience. (Note: However true the math part is, a notoriously difficult topic for people who are new to chemistry is electron configuration… I can testify from my own experience. For this reason, it may also help to have knowledge from a physical science class about electrons in atoms as well.). Background on myself: -5 on AP Chemistry -Self studied a majority of Organic Chemistry 1 in the past -I have been studying Chemistry for about 2 years

Hello! If you are reading this, you may be someone interested in learning more about the following topics in Chemistry: intermolecular forces, properties of solids, solids, liquids, and gasses, ideal gas law, kinetic molecular theory, deviation from ideal gas law, solutions and mixtures, representations of solutions, separation of solutions and mixtures chromatography, solubility, spectroscopy and the electromagnetic spectrum, electronic transitions in spectroscopy, and Beer-Lambert law. These are all the topics that will be covered in our meetings, each being 3 hours long and once a week. Meetings will be held Thursdays at 3:30 P.M. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time). Furthermore, I will also be posting sessions as we go along the way.

While I intend for this series to be for anyone interested in Chemistry, I do use a lot of AP Chemistry material. I highly recommend that everyone who joins has taken Algebra 1. An adequate foundation in algebra and algebraic thinking is necessary for intermolecular forces and properties. AP, IB, or whatever program (or no program) in chemistry is welcomed here.
