What are the different types of JC Chemistry tuition classes available at your centre?

We have 3 modes of learning for students to choose from: weekly physical classes at Bishan; weekly online lessons via Zoom; and on-demand video lessons.

Are you the only Chemistry tutor conducting the classes or do you engage other tutors to do that?

Please be rest assured that I conduct all my classes personally and I do not engage other tutors to teach at my centre.

How well do your students perform after attending your H2 Chemistry tuition classes?

Most of my students showed improvements by at least 3 grades and more than 80% have attained distinction for A Levels. The earlier the students join my classes, the more confident I am in improving their grades.

What is your class size at Bishan?

Usually the class size is around 10 to 12 students. Max class size is 16 pax.

Is there makeup lesson if I miss a class?

Yes makeup lesson is available in the same week subject to availability. If makeup class is not possible, the student can view the recorded video lessons at Google Classroom.

Do you have trial lesson available? How much is it?

Yes we do. Fees for trial lesson are for Bishan class and for Zoom online class.

Does your centre offer O Level chemistry tuition? Do you teach IB / IP chemistry tuition? How about H1 Chemistry?

Chemistry Guru specialises in H2 Chemistry for JC1 and JC2 or IP Year 5 and IP Year 6 students only. Find out all the information about A Level H2 Chemistry and the detailed comparison between H1 and H2 Chemistry. We do not conduct lessons for H1 Chemistry, O Level Chemistry, IB Chemistry or IP Chemistry at IP Year 3 and IP Year 4.

2020 P1 Q29 - Deducing Arrangement of Dative Bonds in Octahedral Complex

Let Chemistry Guru, Singapore's top choice for JC Chemistry tuition, guide you through 2020 A Levels H2 Chemistry Paper 1 Question 29.

2020 p1 q29 question

We are asked to deduce which diagram correctly shows the arrangement of the 6 coordinate or dative bonds in an octahedral complex of ruthenium.

From VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) Theory under Chemical Bonding, we have learnt that a species with octahedral shape will have 6 bonds perpendicular to each other.

Check out the following video to learn more about using VSEPR to determine shapes of molecules.

There are 2 common ways to show octahedral molecules or complexes:
