Best ChatGPT prompts for Chemistry Teachers, Postsecondary

Generate a set of 20 practice problems on infrared spectroscopy, including 5 problems that require students to identify the functional groups present in a given molecule based on its IR spectrum, 5 problems that ask students to predict the IR spectrum of a given molecule, and 10 problems that require students to determine the structure of a molecule based on its IR spectrum and molecular formula, ensuring that the problems cover a range of molecular complexities and functional groups, and provide detailed solutions and explanations for each problem, including the underlying chemical principles and any relevant spectroscopic rules or conventions.

Create a comprehensive grading rubric for a laboratory report on a titration experiment, including criteria for evaluating the introduction, experimental procedure, results, discussion, and conclusion sections, as well as the quality of the data analysis, graphical presentations, and overall writing clarity and organization, ensuring that the rubric assesses both the technical quality of the report and the student's ability to interpret and communicate their results, and provide a sample lab report that demonstrates exemplary work and a sample rubric that can be used to assess student reports.

Design a molecular modeling activity that asks students to use a software program, such as Jmol or PyMOL, to visualize and analyze the structure of a series of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, and to identify and describe the key structural features and functional groups present in each molecule, including any relevant hydrogen bonding patterns, ionic interactions, or hydrophobic regions, and provide a set of guiding questions and prompts to help students explore and understand the relationships between molecular structure and function, as well as a set of assessment criteria to evaluate student understanding and participation.

Generate a step-by-step mechanism for a complex organic reaction, including all relevant intermediates, transition states, and reaction conditions, and provide a detailed explanation of the chemical principles and reaction pathways involved, including any relevant kinetic or thermodynamic considerations, and ensure that the mechanism is consistent with the reaction's observed stereochemistry and regiochemistry, and provide a set of practice problems that ask students to predict the products of the reaction under different conditions or to propose alternative mechanisms, along with detailed solutions and explanations.
