What Is The Difference Between Octahedral Chemistry And Solvents?
What Is The Difference Between Octahedral Chemistry And Solvents?It has been over 30 years since the first exploration of Octahedral Chemistry. Initially, it was not at all well known and was essentially used by a few chemists. The effects that Octahedral Chemistry can bring in terms of enhancing the chemical composition of an object are quite profound. You will soon discover that different types of apparatus require various types of reactions.A molar mass of a compound depends on its atomic weight, that is, the molecular weight of the molecule in weight. The corresponding atomic weights are often called atomic mass units (AMU). With this quantity of AMU, a molecule can take the form of several more kinds of atoms than its own number of atoms. An example is the Hydrogen atom. In the scale of atomic weight, the Hydrogen atom has the largest atomic mass and it also has the smallest molecular mass.This is because the hydrogen atom is a more condensed state than the gas molecules in whic h it is embedded. Hence, it has a high density and hence it can resist gravity and it stays solid on the surface of a solid. Thus, when it forms a molecule with the other atoms in it, its molecular weight is added to the molecular mass of the entire molecule.Octahedral Chemistry aims to make molecules that have different atomic masses and give them equal weight. This is achieved by first choosing one atom to put into each of the available spaces in an atom. The atoms are then connected together through interconnections of units called bond lines. As there are different bonds between the two atoms, different carbon atoms with different electron charges exist in the molecule.An atom and its carbon atom share the same amount of carbon in them. If both are isotopes, then they each have a different atomic mass and it is possible to determine the difference in the atomic mass of the atoms using theoctahedral formula.Molecules with similar shapes, like the Carbon-Hydrogen system, or in mor e general terms, Molecules with similar bonding partners tend to be of similar atomic mass. Therefore, the theory predicts that you can produce the smallest molecule of a given type of atom and have a similar atom with the same weight.When it comes to mass, the atomic weight is used to define the mass of any molecular substance. If a molecule contains more than one atom, then the weight will be determined by the number of atoms in the molecule. For instance, if a molecule is composed of four atoms, then the weight of the whole molecule is four times that of the carbon atom.

Breakdown for Tutoring Subjects Math, English, Science, Languages, Test Prep, Business and Music
Breakdown for Tutoring Subjects Math, English, Science, Languages, Test Prep, Business and Music Tutorz.com very own Dirk Wagner presented statistical analysis on the distribution of the main tutoring subjects to Dow Jones Journal Editor Missy Sullivan. Today Dirk is going to substantiate this presentation with the in-depth analysis of individual subjects for each main tutoring category. For example the mathematics category will be broken down into algebra, statistics, calculus, geometry, trigonometry, etc. The original article on the main tutoring subjects was published on March 12, 2011 and can be found here: www.tutorz.com/blog/2011/03/ceo-interviewed-by-dow-jones-journal/ This data presented in the distribution of tutoring subjects was taken from the last 5,000 tutoring requests (and not just from search data which is skewed due to spam and robot activity). The main tutoring subject categories with its respective percentage distributions are as follows: math (32%), English (17%), science (17%), languages (12%), test prep (6.5%), business (4.5%), computer-related (4%), music (3%), sports (1%) and other (4.3%). Math Subjects As one might expect, the subject category of mathematics is the most dominating category scoring 32% of all tutoring requests. Within this category algebra, calculus, statistics and geometry are the most frequent requested subjects. The requests for mathematics related subjects break down as follows: math (15%), algebra (7.7%), calculus (3.7%), statistics (2.3%), geometry (2%), trigonometry (0.3%), applied math (0.03), differential equations (0.03%). English Subjects The English subjects hold place two within subject categories and are tied with the science subjects category at 17%. Reading is the most favorite subject within the English category amounting to 6.2% of all tutoring requests. The precise breakdown of all English related subjects is as follows: English (6.9%), reading (6.2%), writing (2.3%), spelling (0.5%), grammar (0.2%), essay writing (0.3%), speech (0.14%), dyslexia-reading (0.05%), vocabulary (0.03%), creative writing (0.03%), and term paper (0.01%). Science Subjects The science subjects are dead even on place two (or three) with the English subjects category. 17% of all tutoring requests called for science related subjects. The most popular science subject is chemistry (6.1%) followed closely by physics and biology. We mention in passing the long tale in the science subjects which includes somewhat more esoteric subjects like pharmacology, thermodynamics and meteorology. The breakdown of all science subjects is given here: Chemistry (6.1%), physics (4%), science (1.5%), biology (1.4%), pharmacology (0.63%), physical chemistry (0.57%), organic chemistry (0.52%), biochemistry (0.36%), physiology (0.3%), anatomy (0.3%), genetics (0.21%), astronomy (0.09%), neuroscience (0.09%), cell biology (0.03%), anthropology (0.03%) and geology (0.03%). Language Subjects On place four we find the language subjects category which encompass 12% of all tutoring requests. These 12% break down into 3.5% of Spanish tutoring, 1.8% of ESL (English as a Second Language), 1.6% French tutoring, 0.9% German tutoring, 0.6% Arabic tutoring, 0.46% Japanese tutoring, 0.45% Chinese or Mandarin tutoring. Spanish is the clear winner in the languages category. This has to do with the strong influx of Hispanic workers from Latin America. Spanish is followed by ESL (English as a second language) which can also be seen as a testament of the U.S. being an immigration country. Reflecting the rising important of the largest U.S. trade partner, Chinese has become the 5th most often requested foreign language. Test Prep Subjects The test prep (test preparation) subjects hold position five on our subject category ranking. Test Prep accounts for a total of 6.2% of all tutoring requests. There is no clear set of most requested subjects; instead we have a broad continuum of subjects requested: GRE (0.7%), ACT (0.68%), GED (0.57%), PRAXIS (0.57%), GMAT (0.54%), LSAT (0.48%), ISEE (0.32%), CLEP (0.32%), MCAT (0.30%), TOEFL (0.30%), SSAT (0.27%), SAT (0.21%), DAT (0.25%), USMLE (0.19%), NCLEX-RN (0.16%), PSAT (0.16%), FCAT (0.09%), TOESL (0.05%), REGENTS (0.03%), CST (0.01%), and WASL (0.01%). Business Subjects On rank 6 we find the business subjects category. It accounts for 4.5% of all requested tutoring subjects. Accounting is the dominating business subject. Finance only accounts for 0.6% of tutoring requests documenting a shift away from the finance sector in the 2008-2009 recessions. The business subjects break down as follows: Accounting (4.5%), CPA (0.86%), finance (0.61%), economics (0.64%), business accounting (0.07%), management skills (0.05%), marketing (0.03%), start-up business (0.03%), business plan (0.03%), real estate management (0.01%), project management (0.01%), human resources (0.01%) and taxes (0.01%). Computer Subjects The computer related subjects maintain position 7 on our tutoring subjects category ranking. Students ask for computer tutoring 3 and one half times out of 100 requests.

Control, Alt, Meet Working A Room In The Tech Age
Control, Alt, Meet Working A Room In The Tech Age Photo by LoyolaNOLA via Flickr. Take a deep breath; this is a networking opportunity, and although you may feel like the only nerve-rattled individual in the room, trust in the fact that youâre not, by a long shot. Most employers and job-seekers commonly experience this type of anxiety before speaking to groups of strangers at networking events. Luckily, there are several tips and suggestions that can assist you, and even some of the shyest individuals out there, in working a room like a professional. Embrace Nonverbal Communication While modern networking has largely become a figment of social media, there are still certain benefits of face-to-face interaction with professional contacts that, believe it or not, are worth the few hours of nervousness. Dan Klamm, Outreach Marketing Coordinator at Syracuse University Career Services, wrote in an article on social networking that âin-person meetings allow you to build stronger relationships than back-and-forth messaging online. Things like body language, eye contact, and tone of voice are all essential in helping to establish rapport and build a bond,â Klamm said. Klamm is correct in stating that body language plays an important role in the networking process, considering the fact that nonverbal language constitutes nearly 55 percent of our communications. There are several basic movements to consider while approaching and conversing with others, with some of the most important falling on eye contact and arm placement. Eye Contact According to Conversation Aid, eye contact should follow the 50/70 Rule, which states an individual should maintain eye contact 50 percent of the time while speaking, and 70 percent of the time while listening, and to also be mindful of glancing habits. when you do make eye contact, maintain it for four to five seconds, slowly glance to the side, and then look back again. This will break the illusion of staring. Remember to move your eyes slowly, and always to the side. If your eyes dart away quickly it makes you looks shy or nervous. If you look down it gives the appearance that you lack confidence. Arm Movements and Stance As with eye contact, arm movements dictate your level of interest in the conversation. Typically, folded arms give a do-not-approach, bored signal, while hands clasped behind the back indicate interest. The same is true of your stance; leaning or slouching is a sign of disinterest, while standing tall with shoulders back signals interest and confidence. Being aware of others stances at these events also comes in handy, especially when you are making the rounds of the roomlook for small groups of two to three individuals who are standing slightly facing outward toward the room, which is a sign that they are open and are welcoming more people to join. Keep Moving and Have a Goal Set a goal for yourself, such as having one solid conversation or asking for one introduction, and create a game plan with concrete steps to get you there,â said Nancy Ancowitz, USA-based author of Self-Promotion for Introverts: The Quiet Guide to Getting Ahead. This also helps to take your mind off of the fact that youre meeting important people, and instead turns your focus to accomplishing something. This then allows for less awkward moments, as youre moving around often and building solid conversations based on your goals before you go. By remaining with one person or group for only about 10 to 12 minutes apiece, you also take desperation out of the equation. A confident individual meets and greets everyone with the same amount of kindness and interest, but does not linger in hopes of an offer or to try to sell themselves. Neediness will only drive a wedge between you and the other person. Dont Make Everything About You This is a common mistake made by many at networking events, and it is one easily fallen into, since networking is supposed to be about showing what you have to offer to potential contacts and employers, right? Wrong. While it is important, as mentioned above, to have a goal in place while making the rounds, it is equally important to not make that goal about simply selling yourself. Howard Adamsky, author of Hiring and Retaining Top IT Professionals/The Guide for Savvy Hiring Managers and Job Hunters Alike, said he developed an elevator speech that lasts thirty to forty seconds at the most. When asked, I tell people I am a writer, consultant, and public speaker who works with organizations to support growth in different areas, Adamsky said. If they want more, I answer their questions, but I never give them a 30-minute lecture. Neither should you. With that being said, it is beneficial to ask the other person questions about themselves, and even to stray away from strict vocational talk if the conversation allows. I, for one, am a fanatic motorcyclist, and this has generated more interest than the new book I just wrote, Adamsky said. Remember, relationships are more important than trying to tell everyone in the room what you do. This also plants you as an avid listener in your contacts mind, and since true listeners are very rare individuals nowadays, you will be remembered as someone who made him or her feel special someone who wasnt just there to get a job. Follow Up Youve shook hands, swapped business cards, offered to refill drinks and now youre wondering what to do with all your newfound connections. This is where those conversations you had regarding everything but a job for yourself come in handy: your contact is more likely to remember your conversation due to the fact that it was outside of the endless business conversations they had that night. Bring up, as Adamsky mentioned, your conversation on your lives as motorcyclists or a shared interest in German Shepherds anything from your conversation that will remind the person it is you, the confident listener, that is now emailing them. Social networking behind the computer has its benefits: you can connect in your pajamas and proactively escape web pages with one click. However, in implementing these tips, you may find yourself unplugging for a while, and possibly even find meeting potential employers face-to-face not as daunting as you once thought. Heck, you may even let up on the mental delete key.
Everything you need to know about living and teaching in Azerbaijan (with job postings)
Everything you need to know about living and teaching in Azerbaijan (with job postings) Whenever I have a conversation about Teach Away with someone whoâs curious to learn about the world of international education, I get asked the same question: âWhat countries does Teach Away post jobs in?â If youâve visited the Teach Away job board on more than one occasion, itâs likely you would have noticed a different list of available countries each time. Although there are some nations, like the United Arab Emirates, that tend to have postings up year round, most countries appear and reappear on the job board to reflect whether or not there any schools there that are currently looking to fill vacancies. Since countries pop up on the job boardâs dropdown list as schools within them publicize their openings, keeping an eye on the list can reveal some countries you may not have known we have jobs in! I was taking a look at the list of countries currently with postings today and was intrigued by a country I hadnât previously taken the time to learn about: Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a country in southwest Asia (and partially in southeast Europe) bordering the Caspian Sea. Armenia and Turkey are to the west, Georgia and Russia to the north, and Iran to the south. I was interested in finding out a little more about the country, so I pulled up the Teach Away info page and found the following country info and quick facts about Azerbaijan: Country Information Capital - Baku Language - Azerbaijani or Azeri Population - 9.3 million Currency - Manat Government - Unitary presidential state Baku - the nationâs capital city Quick Facts Azerbaijan's national drink is tea, often sweetened with jam. Azerbaijan was the first largely muslim country to grant women the right to vote and partake in government. Neft Dashlar is the first and largest town built on stilts. The youngest International Chess Grand Master, Teymur Rajabov, was awarded the title at the age of 13. All 8,350 rivers in Azerbaijan drain into the Caspian Sea. After deciding that I definitely need to try mixing some jam into my next cup of tea, I took my Azerbaijan curiosity a step further, taking a look at what it would be like to live and teach in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan draws influence from the West as well as from its past membership in the Soviet Union, which came to an end in 1991. The country is in an exciting place as it is emerging from beneath the Iron Curtain and taking on a new identity with a healthy variety of cultural influence. Azerbaijan is home to bustling cities and small towns - across the country youâll find both urban density and natural rural landscapes. Lakeside in the Azerbaijan country Teaching in Azerbaijan Azerbaijanâs private international schools and public schools provide great opportunities for educators of all levels, from Early Years teachers to subject-specifc teachers for international high schools. Reflecting Azerbaijan's development on the global stage, English-speaking instructors, English language teachers, and Business English teachers are in high demand. International schools in Azerbaijan areInternational Baccalaureate (IB) schools. They follow a globally recognized and highly reputable curriulum designed to equip students with life skills as well as high academic potential. IB schools require brilliant teachers in order to deliver a world-class program. Students who are successful at IB schools will be prepared and able to attend nearly any college or university of their choice. An IB program has also been recently added to Azerbaijan's public school system with the intention of instilling a global mindset in public school students. This is exciting news for the international teaching community, as these public schools will need international educators to make its IB program the best it can be. Teachers in Azerbaijan earn competitive salaries, which vary according to costs of living across the country. Benefits in Azerbaijan typically include accommodation for teachers and health insurance. Things for teachers to do in Azerbaijan Teachers living in Azerbaijanâs capital of Baku will enjoy diverse restaurants and modern facilities. As in any city, teachers are encouraged to try the local cuisine, although those looking for variety will find anything from Irish pubs to Japanese fusion. The oil-rich city boasts modern skyscrapers and luxuries, but the core of the city is an ancient historic site. History buffs can explore towers and palaces dating back centuries. Azerbaijanâs urban areas, in particular, have large populations of expats, so teachers can develop a support network while living in the country. Teachers are nevertheless encouraged to get to know local Azerbaijanis, as their unique culture illustrates the importance of personal relationships, sincerity, and tradition. Azerbaijan Travel Traveling in Azerbaijan is a rewarding challenge for those interested in this dynamic, rapidly developing country. Azerbaijan defies classification â" situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, this fascinating nation is a mix of cultural influences. Expats in Azerbaijan will not want to miss out on the countryâs historic sites and natural wonders. Azerbaijan is home to more than half of the worldâs mud volcanoes and derives its name as the âland of fireâ from the burning mountain, a hillside continuously engulfed in flames. The stunning Caucasus mountains provide breathtaking scenery. Visiting areas such as the picturesque shepherding village of Khinalug (Xinaliq) is easier than ever thanks to new roads. Travelers who visit Azerbaijan in the near future will be rewarded with an authentic experience before the region becomes overrun with tourists. The fact that Azerbaijanâs tourism industry is newly developing can be both difficult and gratifying. Traveling can be chal lenging, as infrastructure is not always well-developed, and few people outside of Baku speak much English. However, travelers who are up for the challenge will enjoy the authentic experience of exploring beautiful Azerbaijan.

Calculations With Mole and Mass of Reactants and ProductsOrganic chemistry is an interdisciplinary branch of chemistry that studies the formation and reactivity of organic compounds. It is the chemistry of substances which are organic, i.e. all natural, non-synthetic, and synthetic substances.The organic chemistry basically involves the properties of organic compounds such as their chemical and physical properties, such as their density, solubility, ability to react with other substances, and the ability to react with the environment. These properties are known as the reactivity. Moreover, the chemical structure of a substance is usually determined by the various parameters that govern its reactivity.Chemistry has been derived from all its past branches, including those of physics, biology, and biology. Organic chemistry has a huge impact on the fields of medicine, chemical engineering, agricultural and chemical science, and pharmaceutical sciences. Therefore, it is very important to have an understanding of this branch of science because it makes some of the most important contributions towards improving the lives of mankind.Analytical Chemistry, or molecular analysis, is the study of organic molecules, i.e. moles and their molecules and their molecular bonds.As part of the Molecular Analysis, various techniques, such as gas chromatography, ionization, radio-controlled bombardment, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, optical-laser spectroscopy, spectrophotometry, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry are used. With the latest technology, this branch of organic chemistry has gained much importance. It contributes to the development of analytical instruments such as ion traps, mass spectrometers, gas chromatographs, spectrometers, and gas chromatograph/mass spectrometers. Allthese methods facilitate to achieve high efficiency and accurate results in the chemical analyses.Organic Chemistry is the oldest branch of Chemistry. It first appeared in the seventee nth century. It used to use a variety of methods, including elemental analysis, combustion experiments, diffusion, dynamometry, transmutation, hydrostatics, gas chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Various other methods are still used today in the chemistry of organic compounds. Some of them include Extraction, Stereochemistry, and Separation.In general, Chemical analysis is performed using different types of instruments like gas chromatography, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, elemental analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. Different types of techniques are also applied depending on the type of substances being analyzed.

ISEE Prep Tips for Your Child
ISEE Prep Tips for Your Child If your student is thinking about taking the Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE), you may wonder how you can help him or her prepare. The ISEE, which is administered by the Educational Records Bureau, has three levels: Lower (grades 5 and 6), Middle (grades 7 and 8), and Upper (grades 9-12). Since the ISEE may seem lesser known than a test like the SAT, helping students achieve their best ISEE score may seem like an impossible task to parentsbut never fear! It is not. Some ISEE prep tips for your child include explaining the makeup of the exam and simulating the test day experience. For a more detailed guide on ISEE prep tips for your child, read on: Understand the ISEE structure To help your child prepare, you must first know that the test consists of five sections at all three levels. No matter your students age, he or she will be tested on Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics Achievement, and a 30-minute essay. Talk about ISEE test day with your child Students who have a solid plan of approach on test day may feel better prepared, so make sure your child knows what to expect. There are many questions your student might be wondering, such as: What do the rooms look like? What will I be asked to do? What is the timing of the test? Answering these basics will help ensure that your students mind is focused on the material the day of the test. You should also talk about basic, overall strategy with your child prior to test day. Encourage him or her to answer all questions, for instance, as wrong answers are not penalized, and think about answers before reading choices. Ensure your child has appropriate sleep and breakfast habits leading up to test day. The Educational Records Bureau offers a What to Expect on the ISEE guide, which can be a helpful place to begin answering questions as well. Review time management Remember that the ISEE assesses skills that typically develop over time for students, such as reading comprehension. While you can prepare for the ISEE, it is largely about strategy. Dont get discouragedand more importantly, dont let your child get discouraged. Instead of trying to cram five years worth of reading comprehension skills into five weeks, focus on developing solid testing skills. Pacing will be crucial for students, so take practice exams and discuss how long to spend on each type of question. Give your student all of the information about the difficulty of the test so he or she is not caught off guard, but also be careful not to pressure him or her. Teach your child anxiety-coping skills for the ISEE Perhaps the best thing you can do to prepare your child for the ISEE is to give him or her a way to overcome and deal with test anxiety. Knowing what will happen during the test and being able to manage time will certainly help this. Go a step further andidentify two or three strategies that can work to ease anxiety, both before the test and during it, and your student will likely approach the ISEE with more confidence. These strategies might include small meditations, exercise before the test, or practice of positive reinforcement. Find something that works for your child and consistently use it to overcome anxiety. The bottom line of ISEE prep Remember that the ISEE is a difficult test that many students struggle to prepare for. Focus on strategies to make the experience better for your student, and trust that the knowledge your child has (and is acquiring) will be comparable to his or her peers. Embrace ISEE practice tests and other test prep options that can help show your student what the test will be like. If your student does not score as well as hoped, take comfort in the fact that retaking the test is an option. Surround your student with positivity, build his or her confidence through knowledge, and review test-day coping strategies, and you will have left your student well-equipped for the ISEE.
