Understanding Organic Chemistry Isomers

Understanding Organic Chemistry IsomersOrganic chemistry is a very old science and it does not get any more complicated. It deals with the combination of elements. The term 'organic' is the form used in the field and these elements are either natural or man-made.Each chemical compound has atoms that make up one molecule of the compound. The atoms of this molecule are arranged in groups known as isomers. The individual atoms of each group are referred to as monomers. When you combine all the molecules of the compound, you have formed a new compound, and the elements in the compound are separated in different isomers.Atoms can be classified into three types, such as alkali, neutral and cationic. In organic chemistry, the atom known as the alkali contains carbon atoms. The alkali is the atom that form the carbon, and the other atoms of the isomer group are referred to as ionic isomers. The atoms of the neutral are less than the alkali and are referred to as cationic isomers.The names of the alkali and neutral to refer to the number of carbon atoms and the number of atoms, respectively, of the ionic isomers. A chemical compound can contain more than one atom, but this is only possible when two different isomers are combined.There are many elements that are found in organic chemistry. There are also many chemical compounds that contain other elements. The commonest types of chemicals are chemicals that have a metallic element such as iron, cobalt, nickel and copper.There are many types of reactions in organic chemistry and all these reactions can be used to synthesize chemicals. It is important to know the basics of organic chemistry because the chemicals used to manufacture various products need to have certain properties. These can be added in to the product to make it better. Some products in the market have harmful or toxic chemicals.Chemicals that react in to chemical reaction are known as isomers. These are atoms of one group that have been replaced by another group, if the number of atoms is a number less than the number of atoms in the original group. You can find isomers in chemistry in organic chemistry as the different combinations of the atoms in the product are known as isomers.

Teaching English online with Wall Street English Sarahs story

Teaching English online with Wall Street English Sarah’s story Sarah Di Paola sat down for a chat about her experiences as an online English teacher with Wall Street English. As an event planner, an online ESL teacher for adult learners and an artist, Sarah is the first to admit she doesn’t always get enough sleep, but she wouldn’t want it any other way. She says that online teaching gives her life meaning and purpose, and gives her time to pursue her other loves. Throughout our conversation, the words “meaning” and “purpose” crop up a lot and I can’t help feeling that Sarah’s attitude will inspire other online English teachers. So...if you want to know what it’s really like to teach adults online, have questions about the cultural issues that might crop up in the online classroom or are just curious about how anyone can juggle three jobs and retain a sunny disposition, keep reading. How did you end up becoming an online teacher? In one way, I’ve always taught people, but as a career choice, it took me a while to make the teaching plunge. I come from a long line of teachers. My mom, her mother and her mother’s mother were all teachers. I kind of rebelled against the idea of just following in their footsteps. I’ve been teaching, in one form or another, since college. During my time at York University, I was the co-vice president of the Visual Arts Student Association for two years and the president of United Through Worship for one year. I mentored a lot of other students in leadership positions. I took that a step further in my graduate degree at Seneca College. A lot of my fellow students didn’t have English as a first language so I would help edit their papers. I didn’t charge, but occasionally someone would buy me a cup of coffee. That was teaching for the love of it (or maybe for the love of coffee! ?). After college, I wasn’t in a great place. I ended up working three jobs (a bit of a theme for me!). The first as a barista, the second was as a keyholder at a retailer, and the third was as a waitress. It was a tough time because I didn’t really like what I was doing and I wasn’t sure what I enjoyed. Eventually, I quit my jobs and took some time off to take care of my grandparents for 3 months. During my time off I talked to a friend about her time teaching abroad in Korea. I started reflecting on my time in college and realized how much I loved teaching. The idea of teaching became more and more attractive, but I really wasn’t sure about teaching abroad so I realized that online English teaching might be a better fit - and the rest, as they say, is history. What drew you to teaching English online initially? Getting to make a difference and help others. I get really excited when something clicks for a student. That moment of realization is a big pay off. I value the connection with others, it’s very fulfilling, and I think some of the one-on-one tutoring online gives you that in a way traditional teaching might not. This one time, I was teaching a one-on-one for fluency. A low-level student came on, and she was so discouraged. I gave her a pep-talk and took the time to encourage her. We had a little moment before moving on with the class. It stands out for me because I saw her transform from a reluctant learner - into an enthusiastic one. All she needed was that extra little boost of confidence. But I guess in broader terms, I teach because I want to live a life that has meaning and purpose. We will all die, so we have to make a mark. With art I always try to think about what is archival, y’know will the material last? For me, teaching is the same. You have to think about what sort of imprint you’re leaving on students. I still remember my art teacher Mr Andrew McClure, he inspired me to where I feel he has influenced me to this today. And that’s something I want to do for my students too. How long have you been online teaching? I’ve been teaching with Wall Street English for 5 months. It’s a new program so I was part of the first batch of employees when it was first launched in Canada. A lot of my coworkers are similar to me. We all have a lot on. There’s a couple of Masters students who are juggling their full-time studies with online teaching. We still usually find time to hang out for an hour after work though. I think a lot of online teachers could miss the connection of an office of people, I feel like I get the opportunity to connect with coworkers. I live by myself, so I value the community and connection. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Why did you choose Wall Street English? I’m growing a lot teaching with Wall Street English at the moment, so it’s where I need to be. I think as long as you can feel yourself growing in a job, it’s a good fit. Toronto is so expensive that this is really the only option for me as they provide the office space. I would need to have a devoted space at home if I were to teach with other online programs. I’d have invest in a map and a whole backdrop. I’ve got office lighting and a professional backdrop, as well as a community of teachers to bounce ideas off every day. As someone who lives alone the community aspect appeals to me, I’m 95% extroverted, so I really value coming to work and getting to know my team. Note: Sarah is an unusual online English teacher because she works regular hours from an office where there is an online teaching team. This gives her the added advantage of having a supportive work environment and gives her a sense of community, but the challenges she faces are the same as those people will meet working from home, she just doesn’t have the advantage of rolling out of bed and walking 30 cm to work. Is there any reason why you picked online teaching over teaching abroad? I might still teach abroad someday, but it’s just not the right time at the moment. I guess I had a few concerns. I knew I wanted to teach English to non-native speakers, but I really wasn’t sure about shipping my life halfway across the world. There are four main reasons why teaching abroad wasn’t a good fit for me, right now: If I did want to go, it would be to Asia. My top two destinations would be Japan or Korea, and that feels like a long way to go right now. The 1 - 2 year contracts for teaching abroad in Japan and Korea were daunting. It’s a big commitment, and I wasn’t ready to take the leap. I could easily do art overseas, but it would be hard to do event planning. I would really miss that. One of the best things about online teaching is that it gives me space and time to do everything else. I want to spend time with my family, particularly my grandparents, so living abroad isn’t a great fit right now. Not that teaching abroad is out of the question, if I do go someday it will be because of the adventure, potential earnings and a chance to develop my skills in a new environment! What qualification did you need to land your job teaching online? I think my background in teaching and mentoring throughout college helped! But that didn’t stop me getting properly qualified. Once I made the decision to teach, I knew I wanted to invest in the right TEFL/TESOL certification. It ended up costing me just over $1,000 CAD, but it’s been worth the investment. If anyone is looking to get a TEFL qualification for online teaching, I recommend going with a course at about this price point. I don’t honestly know if I could teach some of the grammar without it, because so much of what I knew before taking the course was innate. I struggled through the grammar portion of the course, and I’m glad I did. At least now I feel prepared in my online classroom. Also when I think about the price point, I compare it to my undergrad/graduate programs, where I could easily spend $1,000 CAD on a class. Some of those were taught by MA students. At least with the Oxford Seminars TEFL course, I was paying for a fully-qualified teacher. What did you like about your TEFL course? What I really loved about the TEFL course was the in-class components. They were very honest, which I value. They didn’t shy away from any of the tough questions and made sure to go over concerns for teaching abroad if you were LGBTQ+ or had tattoos. There was a detailed section on what to do about contracts and how to know if the contract is too vague or dodgy. There was a bit on how to research jobs and protect yourself, which I found useful. They also posed important questions about the cultural difference: like what should a teacher do in a country where it’s considered okay to discipline with a ruler? Were there any parts you didn’t like? Although it was a necessary evil, I wasn’t a big fan of the grammar portion of the TEFL curriculum. It was online, and I felt like I’d have absorbed it quicker in a classroom setting. It depends what kind of a learner you are, I’m extroverted, so I really value being in a class and bouncing ideas off other people. I used to have to go to a cafe with a friend just to get through some of the tougher grammar sections. What skills from your background in art do you think help with online teaching? I took several courses in theatre in college - I think it helps a lot. A mixture of being dramatic and being Italian definitely means I use my hands a lot when I am teaching online which helps the students. Art helps too because I can draw on the slides, and upload pictures. My coworkers are always laughing at the number of pictures I use, but pictures are so helpful when it comes to generating natural conversation. What do you think are the advantages of teaching adults online? There are a lot! The focus is more on fluency so you can have some really interesting conversations. A lot of the topics can lead to philosophical or political chats which are always fascinating. For example, the environment is one of the subjects. Right now, that’s a necessary conversation. We should probably all sit down and talk to someone for an hour about what we can do to help the environment. I am often inspired by my students and their ideas! I think you’ve to go in with an open and creative mind. I’m not sure everyone would consider this an advantage, but sometimes it can (especially one-on-ones) feel a bit like a therapy session. I don’t mind, because I genuinely love to connect with people and check-in. The biggest benefit is probably that you’re being paid to have this hour of connection with someone halfway across the world. I love getting to speak to so many different sorts of people. It’s an endless education. I love asking questions - so my job is an excuse to probe people. I love that I never know what my students are going to tell me. I could be talking about anything on any given day. Recently my students told me about Singles Day - which is like Black Friday in China. I had no idea! What are the challenges of online teaching? Usually in group classes - there’s a lot of time management and some students want to hog the class. It’s my job to interrupt them and make sure everyone has equal talking time. That can be tough because as a Canadian I feel rude interrupting someone, just culturally that’s not something I’d normally do. So I’ve to balance fairness with politeness. And in the context of a classroom of Chinese students, fairness is most important. In a normal classroom I might have more time to hone in on weaker students or give stronger students a chance to do some advanced work, but online you’ve to balance the class and talking time. Their names can be challenging too, I try to learn these in advance by getting Google to pronounce them - that normally saves me from messing up! I guess the hours can be hard to adjust to, starting work at 5 am is rough. It means I’ve to plan my social life well in advance. Is it hard to navigate cultural difference with Chinese students online? I think it’s easy for me to avoid any big cultural faux pas as I became a part of the Chinese club in university. It started out with just helping them with events, but by graduation, they had made me an honorary member! That experience means I’m already familiar with a lot of the cultural things. For someone teaching Chinese students for the first time, it’s valuable to do a bit of research around their culture, just so you don’t make any blunders. Any issues or horror stories? It’s not really a horror story, but once a student doctor came into a group conversation class just after she told a family that their loved one had passed away. She started crying in the class and was clearly very emotional. Instinctively I wanted to reach out, but culturally in China, it would have been considered unprofessional to spend extra time with her in a group class. Navigating that from a Canadian perspective is tricky, how do you show empathy without making things worse or letting a student lose face? That’s probably the hardest lesson I’ve had online. What is the single best thing about teaching online? Without a doubt, it’s the students. I’ve so much respect for them. One thing that stands out to me about adult learners is that they want to learn. Occasionally their boss is making them, but it’s not like kids being forced by their parents. They are so motivated. I think anyone who learns a new language is extremely brave, but I have a special respect for my Chinese students because they come from a culture where losing face and making mistakes is a big deal. With learning a new language, the risk of losing face is high because you’re going to make mistakes…that’s how you learn. There are so many obstacles for Chinese (Mandarin) speakers trying to learn English. In their language they don’t use tenses or pronouns, so explaining some of that can be tricky. It’s interesting to hear about their culture too. I love telling them about Canada, and they love to tell me about China. What kind of person would you recommend online teaching to? At Wall Street English, all my colleagues are very different, but I do think there are a few common traits that help. Pretty much everyone has an adventurous spirit, we’ve all been on crazy adventures. We’ve all traveled. It’s so important to be curious about other cultures and want to learn about your students, so having that sense of adventure and a desire to connect with other cultures helps. We also all value education and learning, so that we all have a sense of purpose. A growth mindset too, online teaching isn’t as easy as it might sound, and you really need to love working with the students and want to improve your teaching. Another big one is patience, you cannot get stressed out easily. You’re balancing classes with small groups of adults and need to be able to manage all the different personalities. Being creative helps, if you’re genuinely interested in teaching and have a creative spark, it’s amazing how many little games, pictures and diagrams you’ll find yourself creating. Students love that. It gives class that extra spark. Read this: Everything you need to know about teaching English to adults online

Or pottery, if you wish to hold us to this article’s title.Essentially, there is little difference between ceramics and pottery; they are both produced with the same materials, clays, and undergo the same processes:Shaping the clay body: forming it into whichever shape you desire; vases, cups... even stoneware dishes.Firing: placing the clay body into a kiln once the clay has driedGlazing: coating the clay body in a shiny, protective coatingRe-firing: exposure to the intense heat of a gas kiln or electric kiln ensures the glaze is bonded to the clay body at the molecular level.Taking the clinical approach, as we have here, there appears to be little mystery to being a clay artist but the art of clay does not rest only in the processes.Experimenting with clay mixtures, forming the bodies, expressing your artistic vision through your finishes â€" sgraffito and underglazes, applyin g Terra Sigillata...In short, there is nothing clinical about ceramic arts. It is all about skill and passion, vision and creation and, yes, processes.Whether you want to take up pottery for its therapeutic benefits â€" yes, there are many, or to express your artistic side, London certainly has a pottery class for you.Come with your Superprof now to discover the best ones.

That is perfectly understandable.Would you really sacrifice pottery-making simply because you have no inclination to get a bit grubby? Well, maybe if you knew a bit more about clay pottery...It is in that spirit of understanding that Parade Mews offers their taster sessions.You are invited to try handbuilding â€" working off a slab of clay and then coiling and pinching it into shape, much as you would with modelling clay or throwing a pot, the messy version that incorporates a potter’s wheel.Either way, you would be treated to refreshments and, even better: you get to keep two of the pieces you made.After such a two-hour session, if you decide you would like to learn more about ceramics, you are welcome to sign up for any of their adult classes; they also hav e kids’ classes after school for children as young as seven.For hen/stag parties, special events; even for students taking art classes at university, Parade Mews has something for everyone.Unlike Birmingham, London does not have a long history of ceramics works but Parade Mews comes very close to establishing this city as an important contributor to ceramic art.Shirley Stewart Pottery CoursesLondon is dotted with many architectural gems, one of them being the Lewisham Arthouse. Wouldn’t it be great to take pottery lessons there?Thanks to Shirley Stewart, a ceramic artist who has been exhibiting her work since 1989, you can!She now lends her considerable experience to a series of classes targeted to anyone interested in ceramic sculpting, wheel throwing or finishing â€" glazing pottery.Courses are held over the weekends, or on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 7-9 in the evening.Shirley also hosts workshops for children as young as five every Monday through Thursday, from 4: 30 to 6. If you have a teenager who might want to try their hand at the potter’s wheel, Shirley has a course especially for them, too.Prices and offerings for the many courses in this art curriculum vary; it would be best to contact her directly for the most up-to-date information.Did you know that Scotland, especially Glasgow has a tradition of pottery and ceramics? After your taster session, the clay artists will finish your work of art for you Image by sebastian del val from Pixabayceramics artists band together; they rent studio space large enough to accommodate several workshops and split the cost.If these artists agree, they may also tag-team as pottery instructors offering classes in basic skills, hand building techniques and glazing techniques. If they’re really brave (and have the right insurance), they teach kids classes, too.The Co-op is just such a pottery studio. They have the perfect blend of visual artists who are all keen to impart their knowledge to anyone interested in any facet of pottery-making.For instance, if you have a fair grasp of throwing, you may want to learn more about selecting and operating an electric kiln or learning how to use a raku kiln.The Co-op offers such courses, along with pottery painting workshops, glazing workshops and, yes, even the elementary wheel throwing workshops.By contrast, most ceramics class es in Leeds mostly revolve around painting and drawing on ceramics with little pottery-making involved...The Clay RoomWhat started out as an independent artist’s studio has turned into a new, major space for sharing the love of art and the joy of creation with as many as possible.The quartet of ceramists that staff the Clay Room did not come to the discipline in the traditional way; meaning that they did not know from an early age that ceramic sculpture was their life’s calling and go on to incur substantial debt to pay for their art education.Well, except for maybe Krista.The fact that most of the instructors at the Room came to clay in the same way you have, curious and willing to learn, makes them perhaps the best teachers for learning how to make pottery for those who are yet uncertain that clay sculpture is for them.You might try their throwing taster just to see how things work out and, if all goes well, you may even settle on the family-friendly course that is due to star t soon.Other offerings include clay taster workshops, when you would get to sample both wheel throwing and clay sculpting, slip casting and mould-making courses (a fun and easy way to make holiday ornaments!) or an all-out, ‘teach me everything!’ pottery class.Their new studio is only about 40 minutes outside of London city centre but so well worth the trip...The Midlands, especially Manchester is a location rich in ceramic materials that continue to be worked today. Along with pottery techniques, you will learn how to use clay tools Image by LuAnn Hunt from PixabayCrown Works PotteryIf you didn’t want to travel to Orpington or, for that matter, to the Midlands for pottery classes you may be quite happy to know that there are pottery lessons open to you just east of the heart of London.This working studio of eight artists offers up their distinctive pottery skills in one-offs, workshops and extended session classes that are open to anyone whether beginner or intermediate.If you are more advanced but would still like to learn from these masters, they encourage you to contact them so they can tailor their lessons specifically to your needs.Naturally, they will tailor lessons to all of their students’ needs: understanding the different types of clays: slip, ball clay, fire clay, or kaolin; how to mix them and what each composition is best suited for.In short, they’re not going to simply sit you in front of a pottery wheel (or hand you an extru der), tell you to get your clay and get on with it. If you’re there to learn about clay arts, you will inevitably learn about clay â€" not just what you can do with it.Exploring all of the art studios in and around London, we find that ceramic artists all have one particular trait in common.They have a passion to beautify the earth one piece of pottery at a time. The fact that they do so with the most elemental materials â€" earth, water and fire makes their art somehow seem so forthright and so pure.Doesn’t that make you want to learn what pottery art is all about?No need to search the web for ‘pottery classes near me’, Superprof makes your life easier with this handy list of London pottery classes.Pottery Classes in LondonStudio NamePhysical AddressPhone NumberWeb AddressParade Mews Pottery7 Parade Mews Norwood Road, London SE27 9AX0208 678 1686www.parademewspottery.co.ukShirley Stewart Lewisham Arthouse140 Lewisham Way London SE14 6PD0208 692 2513www.shirleystewart.co.ukC eramics Studio Coop Units 14C, 16C, 17CJuno Way, London London SE14 5RW0208 691 6421www.ceramicsstudio.coopThe Clay RoomV22 Priory, Church Hill, Orpington, BR6 0HH0793 810 2062www.theclayroomuk.comCrown Works Pottery11 Crown Works Temple Street London E2 6QQ0777 415 5703www.crownworkspottery.comSkandiHus Pottery90 De Beauvoir Road London N1 4EN0778 987 4147www.skandihus.co.ukTurning Earth E1011 Argall Ave, Walthamstow, London E10 7QE0203 325 1912www.turningearth.org/e10Clay Time168 Blackstock Road London N5 1HA0203 441 8787www.claytime.london
