A physicist, biologist and a chemist were going to the ocean for the first time.

The physicist saw the ocean and was fascinated by the waves. He said he wanted to do some research on the fluid dynamics of the waves and walked into the ocean. Obviously, he was drowned and never returned.

The biologist said he wanted to do research on the flora and fauna inside the ocean and walked inside the ocean. He too, never returned.

The chemist waited for a long time and afterwards, wrote the observation, "The physicist and the biologist are soluble in ocean water".

Dihydrogen Oxide

Here is a funny chemistry story.

Somebody wrote a paper about how this chemical, dihydrogenoxide, has killed over 100,000 people world wide, usually through inhalation.

The story also went on that even if you wash your food you can never get this chemical off. No matter what you do you will be exposed to this very dangerous chemical every day of your life until you die.

The story finished by claiming that there needs to be a government research group founded to find a solution. yada yada yada...

Anyhow, a local press guy got a hold of this joke, if you haven't figured it out di-hydrogen-oxide is the correct name for H2O or water.

The deaths that he was quoting were from drownings. Anyhow, this local guy ran the article in a paper and started a big outcry for a government study before they realized what the story was about.....

Kinda funny chemistry humor.

Who are we?

a.mole.of.chemistry

Why a mole of chemistry? As we know, the mole (symbol: mol) is a unit of amount of substance : it is an SI unit and one of the few units used to measure this physical quantity.

It is one of the most commonly used physical quantity in all disciplines of chemistry. As the name implies, we hope to share with you the many interesting aspects and various disciplines of chemistry.

No doubt, the mole is often defined in terms of the Avogardo Constant, which is overwhelming in magnitude; and this could be similar to the amount of content and concepts that you require for your A Levels. BUT, we hope to simplify all that to be like a mole (simple yet being its equivalent). Being committed and professional Chemistry tutors, who have been helping our students with their work, tests and examinations over many years. And we hope to help more students like those that we have helped.

A brief introduction of us...

We recently graduated from NUS in 2009, majoring in Chemistry.

YY obtained a First Class Honors degree in Chemistry while William was awarded a scholarship to pursue his PhD in Organic Chemistry.

We specialize in teaching Chemistry, relentlessly pursuing to optimise our teaching pedagogy and to customise our teaching approaches to cater to the needs of different students.

Through a combination of the student's lecture notes, our notes and recommended textbooks, we are focused towards a targeted approach for the required syllabus. We seek to fill in the gaps and to expand upon missing links that teachers and lecturer cannot attend to owing to the large classes.

We WANT our students to improve and enjoy the learning of Chemistry. Moreover, with our vast tutoring experience, you can rest assure that we will assist you to achieve your fullest potential.
