Organic Chemistry - Introduction to the Third Edition

Organic Chemistry - Introduction to the Third EditionWhen the printing of the third edition of Organic Chemistry was complete, the study of organic chemistry became popular in all types of universities and high schools. Since then, several other editions have been released. The purpose of these editions is to refresh the basic concepts and theories that are discussed in the organic chemistry texts.This book makes reference to the basic ideas of the subject, with a view to provide students with a thorough knowledge of organic chemistry. Students who are studying to be a chemist can get great benefit from the reading material.Although the third edition has been published, the material is based on older material that has been in print for quite some time. The majority of the material on organic chemistry will be found in this edition, rather than the previous editions. The different aspects of organic chemistry are covered in this edition, along with the materials for introductory cours es in organic chemistry.Materials include fundamental concepts and definitions. There are chapters on chemical bonding, on solvent systems, and on physical organic chemistry. Each chapter contains multiple-choice questions which students are required to answer before they move on to the next topic. Of course, students are also required to answer a written question at the end of each chapter, which gives students the opportunity to verify their understanding of the material.There are some keynotes that are included, as well as lecture notes, which are provided in PDF format. Materials are available to download, which will include a list of references, a bibliography, and a glossary. The index in the edition of Organic Chemistry 3rd Edition, has been revised to make it easier to locate certain topics.Since this material is written for students who are taking introductory courses in organic chemistry, there is a bibliography section to help students search for material that they may ne ed. There is also a chapter on laboratory procedures, which explains the need for laboratory work, what chemicals are used, and how to make various types of reactions.The third edition of Organic Chemistry by David R. Klein and John W. Fraley is suitable for college or high school students who are taking introductory courses in organic chemistry. Students who are taking college-level organic chemistry courses will benefit from the material included in this edition.Students should take the time to read the material included in the Organic Chemistry website. The information is available for download, so that students can access it at any time. There is also an online store where students can purchase books and materials for their organic chemistry classes.

Saudi 101 teaching and living in Saudi Arabia

Saudi 101 teaching and living in Saudi Arabia Wondering what life is like for teachers in Saudi Arabia? Read this QA for a little more insight. What have you found to be the toughest cultural adjustments about living in Saudi Arabia? As an American, I’m used to more social freedoms. There were several adjustments for me, including limitations to the kinds of meat that I eat, my public interactions with the opposite sex, and my alcohol intake. What has changed about your public interactions with the opposite sex? Men and women aren’t allowed to speak to one another in public unless they’re related or they are married. This also means that you’ll see many shops that don’t have female clerks. What about the cost of living? How much money do you save and how much do you spend? For me, it’s very affordable and I manage to put away quite a bit each month. I make about 3,500 USD each month, and it’s impossible for me to spend all of that each month. I spend about $400 a month on food and leave some money for taxis and shopping. Then I either save the rest or use it to pay off student loans. It’s allowing me to pay off my debts really, really quickly. What about rent? My accommodations are included in my contract, this means I live rent free. This is pretty typical of teaching contracts in Saudi Arabia. Can you share a little information about your life on the compound then? Compounds do have quite a huge expat community and it’s easy to meet friends because you’re surrounded by likeminded people. It also allows you more freedoms than public life. The compound is guarded by Saudi military. It looks scary but it’s for the protection of the inhabitants, though Saudi is generally much safer than most American cities. But you might see guards with machine guns. The compounds allow foreigners some of their usual freedoms and the Saudi laws are relaxed here. Is there anything unique about your life in Saudi Arabia that you enjoy? The geographical landscape here is really something that I’m in awe of. For example, sometimes I leave my compound and go visit the desert outside of Riyadh - I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Also, though some people might not expect it, I’ve formed a really strong circle of friends. Do you get homesick? How do you mitigate this? It’s not a big deal - firstly, I get to travel home once a year. I definitely take advantage of that. Plus, I get lots of vacation time and a pretty hefty salary, so I could supplement another trip home if I wanted. Secondly, whenever I miss my family or friends, I just reach out to them on Skype or Facebook. We do a pretty good job of keeping in touch that way. If you’d like to see what jobs we have available in Saudi Arabia right now, take a look at our job board.

The Organic Chemistry Tutor Alpha, Beta, Gamma Type

The Organic Chemistry Tutor Alpha, Beta, Gamma TypeIn a very unprofessional statement, the Organic Chemistry Tutor is not any better than the traditional kind. This is obviously a fact. But, to prove it, I will use the Organic Chemistry Tutor Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta types that have recently been released.Alpha is an ordinary mechanical combination of two chemicals. Beta is the opposite of this. It is more similar to being a chemical that 'forgets' its previous chemical and then tries to do the same.For example, if you were studying the properties of acetic acid and citric acid, you would want to write down that you find the properties of acidic (H) to be more similar to what it has been before. (I) It is an added hint for the student to make sure he is already having a question in mind.As I said, the beta is a less certain quality of being the same chemical, but it is a great tool to test to see if your answer is correct. The Alpha's are simple enough that the student can just jot down the class name he is looking for and then start typing it down on the keyboard. The important thing is to remember that you can only type down the name of the class you are looking up, but not where the student is at.While you can just pick up a sheet of paper and put down anything you want, the Beta's are great because you have a specific feature that helps you a lot to find the right answer. You must also pay attention to the future of the Beta's in order to get the most accurate results.Sometimes, the Beta will let you know if you have the wrong answer or not. For example, when you type in the word phi, it will tell you if you are getting the right answer or not. If the Beta tells you you are getting the wrong answer, you can always take the time to look it up and read all the possible information on how to get a correct answer.The organic chemistry tutor Alpha, Beta, and Gamma are an excellent way to learn the basics of the subject and then move on to the other types. T he Beta's help you to better understand the chemical. The organic chemistry tutor Alpha, Beta, and Gamma are helpful for good old-fashioned chemistry homework.

How To Get Some Chemistry Tutor Tips

How To Get Some Chemistry Tutor TipsChemistry tutor tips and hints will prove useful in a student's studies. For example, students have to understand that the chemical elements must be arranged in an orderly way so that the materials will look different. Hints and tips will help the student to make connections between various scientific theories and to understand the atomic structure of the elements. You can search online for chemistry tutor tips.There are websites that offer chemistry tutor tips. Teachers who are interested in providing guidance for their students can become part of these sites. In this way, they get to know the student's strengths and weaknesses and try to make changes according to those. For example, a teacher might want to alter an assignment to improve a student's understanding of a specific subject. This can work to the advantage of the teacher who can identify strengths and weaknesses and who can find ways to develop his or her student's capacity.Tutors can al so find useful tips in studying and preparing for examinations. Students who go for a bachelor's degree often begin in one-year courses. These are taken after an examination and exams so that students can brush up on the theory and skills that they need for taking examinations. The tutor will help the student to acquire the skills that will be useful for these examinations.

The Best, Baddest, Loud Guitars for Metal

The Best, Baddest, Loud Guitars for Metal Megan L. On a quest to find the best guitars for metal? Guitar teacher  James W.  shares a few of the baddest guitars around Why are metal guitars so easy to play? The simple truth is metal has been around a long time, since way back in the 1960’s, and technology has kept pace with musicians demands. Read on, and we shall see how knowing what to look for in a guitar makes or breaks your crunch lead! 1. Schecter Guitars These guitars are perhaps the holy grail of metal masters. They are completely modern in design features. By focusing on killer design and affordable custom options, Schecter Guitars from the San Fernando Valley in Van Nuys, California knew when to listen to young musicians carefully and knew what to create to lead the way into a new era. It’s hard to find a cooler, high-end guitar aimed so specifically at the metal genre. Even though they started out by copying manufacturers like Fender, they didnt take long to move on and create original designs for pickups, body shapes and wiring, and custom paint with a very high standard for attention to detail. Rating: 10 out of 10 Stars. Very Bad! 2. Fernandes Guitars This maker is another great innovator from the valley, and truly one of the best guitars for metal. Fernandes created the ground breaking sustainer pickup for guitar in the 1990’s. It holds notes forever at the flick of a switch or footpedal. As we all know, sustain of notes is an important part of the metal guitar sound. Just ask for their Vortex Model for metal. He builds guitars that look cool, play well, and have a fast neck. Need I say more? Even used, these guitars are highly sought after. Rating: 9 out of 10 Stars. Super Bad! 3. Fender Guitars Some folks don’t know about this one. The Fender Custom Shop in Corona, California will make virtually anything you want â€" within reason that is, and there are a few metalheads working there. Adding twin blade and custom humbucking pickups by Seymour Duncan or Fender paved the way. Just strike up a convo by asking them about the guitars they like and their tattoos. Surprisingly, they will even answer the phone themselves and are very helpful. Your dream guitar awaits, and dang, it feels so good. Rating: 8 out 10 Stars. Cool Bad! 4. Jackson Now here is a company, also from the valley, that almost went under when Kurt Cobain made his “Jagstang” hybrid Fender guitar the cool guitar to own in the 1990s. Suddenly sales went to nothing. So, Jackson Guitars went on vacation and returned as a custom shop and were revived in the early 2000s with new ideas and a new love of music and musicians. Metalheads who think Randy Rhoads is the guitar player to follow buy these guitars. The Jackson RR III Randy Rhoads “Sharktooth” Model is back in demand. And the pickups just scream. Rating: 8 out of 10 Stars. Awesome Bad! 5. Gibson Normally I would not think of Gibson as a metal machine maker. But Zakk Wylde of Ozzy Osbourne’s band has proven metal can reign supreme on his custom signature bullseye design pop art Les Paul. These guitars are slightly pricey, but you get a sleek neck, custom Zakk Wylde pickups, Floyd Rose trem, and more. Everything about this guitar is designed to withstand a brutal assault on your worldwide tour and come back for more. Rating: 8 out of 10 Stars. Serious Bad! 6. EVH Wolfgang Stealth by Eddie Van Halen A guitar that is EVH can handle anything. It is Eddie’s guitar of choice; for the last two years it is all he plays on stage. It’s built to Eddie’s specs, a road warrior made for the metalheads around the globe. Comes with patented EVH Drop D-Tuna designed and invented by Ed himself for instant drop D tuning and instant return to regular tuning. If you love EVH “brown sounds”, this guitar is very high end with a reasonable price. It even has a NAMM Award for best value. You can’t do much better than this. Rating: 10 out of 10 Stars. Totally Killer Bad! When youre choosing a new guitar, it all comes down to your own personal needs and what your ear tells you just sounds best. So have fun, and  try them all before you buy.

Intangibles are the New Perfect SAT Score

Intangibles are the New Perfect SAT Score The following is a guest post written by Application Authority, a college application branding company that helps students differentiate themselves from thousands of other applicants. A perfect SAT score has been considered the Holy Grail of college admissions for years. And for good reasonthe SAT and the ACT have been used for decades by schools to predict candidates potential for higher education success independent of other accomplishments. But if you have been losing sleep over achieving the ideal 1600 or 36-point score, we suggest you get some rest and consider changing your focus. These tests are flawed The ACT and the SAT are flawed. To adapt to the tests flaws, schools have shifted from a point-based application process to holistic review, thus diminishing the value of this traditionally highly weighted criteria. Additionally, with an increase in average college applicant GPA and grade inflation in recent years, admissions officers have shifted their attention to learning more about the applicant through essays. [RELATED: How to Survive the College Application Process, Part One] The secret to admission With top schools rejecting perfect test scorers each year, what is the secret to getting admitted to an elite college or university? Would you like the good news or the bad news first? We like to lead with the positive, so here goes: You are the secret to admission. The bad news? Theres no easy fix. After all, you cant attend a class, take a few practice exams, and voila, magically have a great perceived version of You. When reviewing applications, admissions officers are thinking about a few things: Who is this student? What will he/she contribute to our community? Will he/she be a good fit at this school? What will he/she accomplish while at our school and beyond? You might be thinking that you would rather work for that 1600 or 36 than try to decode what this means. Or youre thinking, Okay, I get it. I need to start my own business or something. Unless you are actually passionate about doing so, it probably means doing none of the above. Schools want to know who you are as a person. Not just as a student. What makes you tick, and how do you choose to pursue your interests? It really is that simple. [RELATED: 3 Questions to Ask Your Guidance Counselor About College] Share your passion Think about your best qualities, and then think about how you can apply them to contribute in some way, shape, or form. What have you done to move the ball forward or to move the needle? Lets take John (a real student), for example. John is incredibly passionate about space and thinks Elon Musk is amazing. John looks at his school directory and discovers that his school doesnt have a space club. So, he pokes around his community and discovers a small notice in his local newspaper: Interested in star gazing? Join us. He goes to the event and enjoys the community feel. He decides to start a space club at his school. He has no idea what hes doing, but hes driven and passionate, and he figures it out. From there, he builds on the idea and creates a space mentorship program with a local elementary school. Now John is happily attending a top-three school. Johns best qualities are his drive, ability to motivate others, and ability to build relationships. He used his passion for space as a foundation for applying his best attributes to make the community a better place. And just like that, John has shown admissions officers who he uniquely is. This is far more valuable than any perfect test score. [RELATED: What Does It Mean to Be a Well-Rounded Student?] What can you do? Alright, lets get to you. What can you do to figure out who you are? Freshman/sophomore: Write down a list of things that interest you. Research and write down current, relevant opportunities to get involved within your school and community. Brainstorm these ideas with a parent or teacher or mentor and pick a couple to try. If they dont work out, thats okay. Try something else. Junior/senior: Now is the time to take on a leadership role within your activities. This role can be formal or informal as long as you are using your best qualities to make a difference. The only thing leftessays It will also be important to create a stellar application that highlights your best and unique attributes. Show each school why you will be an unrivaled contributor, classmate, and community member. While test scores and GPA will likely forever be relevant for college admissions, essays are an extremely important way to position yourself as a uniquely qualified candidate. After all, you are more than just a number. The views expressed in this article do not necessarily represent the views of Varsity Tutors.

Angle of Depression Definition

Angle of Depression Definition Angle of depression is the angle formed by the observers eye with respect to the horizontal line. Angle of depression is only formed when the desired object is below the observer and the observer is looking down at the object. Angle of depression can be calculated by using the trigonometric functions and the given distances in a particular situation. Example 1: Evaluate the angle of depression if the observer who is at a height of 10m above the ground is looking at a car parked on the ground. The horizontal distance between the observer and the car is 15m. Given height above the ground, OA = 10m Distance of the car from the observer, AC = 15m Let the angle of depression = Then from the diagram, alternate angles are equal. Hence the angle below L OCA as shown is also = Now in triangle OAC, tan = OA/AC = 10/15 = 0.667 Hence angle of depression, = tan-1(0.667) = 33.7 Example 2: If a person of height 6m is standing and is looking at a point on the ground 6m away. Find the persons angle of depression. Given height above the ground = 6m Distance of the point on the ground from the person= 6m Let the angle of depression = Then, tan = Opposite side/Adjacent side = 6/6 = 1 Hence angle of depression, = tan-1(1) = 45

3 Steps to Maximize Your Practice Tests

3 Steps to Maximize Your Practice Tests If youre taking the SAT, ACT, GRE, or another standardized test, practice tests are an extremely helpful way to get ready for the actual test day. Practice tests help you become more familiar with the test format, question types, time allotted, and so on. But they are only as effective as you make them out to be! Here are a few ways you can maximize your practice tests. 1. Plan a schedule Map out how youre going to study leading up to the actual test, including and beyond practice tests. Its a great idea to set your test date first so you can work backwards from there. Six weeks of study is common, but you may want to study more or less depending on your study habits, personality, and amount of content on the test at hand. Then, youll want to plan out when to take your practice tests. When you first start out, you may not want to take a full practice test in one sitting. Try a few sections or half of the test to build your stamina. Then, later, plan on taking a whole practice test on a free morning or afternoon. Because they may last up to two or three hours, blocking out a weekend morning works great, as you will have relaxed and rested up. 2. Mimic test center conditions Practice tests are most useful when you are able to simulate the actual test day experience. This will help prepare your mind and body for the real test day. Specifically, follow the time guidelines and dont give yourself more or less time than allotted; youll get a sense of how you work under a certain time pressure. It can be tempting to snack during a practice test, but hold off until the mid-test break that would be scheduled during the real exam, and be sure to eat a good breakfast beforehand (as you also should on test day!). Finally, arrange your environment so that its quiet and orderly: clear a table or desk space, put away all distracting screens, and let any family members know youll be out of touch for a few hours. If desired, you could even go to your local library to take the test, as some libraries have designated quiet rooms that are great for this purpose. 3. Review your answers After finishing a practice test, youll probablyand deservedlyfeel spent. But its still important that you take the time right away to go over skipped or wrong answers, and try to figure out why they ended up that way. Reviewing answers is a great way to figure out what you did wrong, which will ultimately help solidify the correct logic in your mind. If you feel too tired to carefully review everything immediately after the practice test, dont force yourself to keep going. Instead, mark the questions youd like to go over later and then spend the adequate time with them the following day or day after. Dont wait too long to do this, however, as itll be most effective when the test is still fresh in your mind. Test prep is like working on any new skill toward a goal. Youll want to give it the appropriate amount of attention required, make the effort to go the extra mile, and ensure you have practiced to your best potential. The above steps can help you maximize your practice tests and ultimately assist you in reaching those test day goals. (If youre preparing for the SAT or ACT, consider going through some additional lessons and practice problems in the Varsity Tutors SAT Prep Book and ACT Prep Book)!

Writing and interpreting decimals

Writing and interpreting decimals Writing and interpreting the decimals number is one of the basic concepts in numbers. Decimal number is placing a decimal point between the digits. The decimal number place value is given as follows. The first number next to the decimal point is called the tenth place value. The second number next to the decimal point is called the hundredth place value. The third number next to the decimal point is called the thousandth place value and so on. Example 1: Write seven hundred and forty five thousands as a decimal number? Solution: First write the number according to the whole number place value. This gives seven hundred and forty five = 745 Now the thousandths decimal number is placing the decimal point three place values to the left. 0.745. Here in the decimal number place values: The tenth place value is 7. The hundredth place value is 4 and the thousands place value is 5. Hence, the decimal number representation = 0.75. Question: Multiple choice question (Pick the correct option.) Write five hundredths as a decimal number? a) 5 b) 0.5 c) 0.05 d) None of these. Correct answer: option c. First write the given number according to the whole number place value 5. Now the decimal point at the hundredths place will be placing a decimal point two places to the left of the number. This can be represented as = 0.05 Here in the decimal number place values: The tenth place value is 0. The hundredth place value is the 5. Hence five hundredth of the number is 0.05.
