The potential energy that increases with each subshell around the atom is synonymous with the energy that it would take for a plane to reach orbit from differing heights; the plane that tries to take off from the ground will take more energy to reach orbit than a plane that is already...

...now returning to tutoring during my MBA studies. I struggled throughout high school until finally preparing for the SAT and ACT, so I'm adept with picking up just what you're struggling with - I was there once, too.

...with individuals from all walks of life. Often, I am asked by other salespeople for assistance and advice, and have been asked to train a number of newer sales associates. My approach to teaching and tutoring is to get the student to interact with me, as in more of a discussion versus a one-way lecture.

I hope that through tutoring and working with Varsity I can share my...
