How To Study Chemestry


  1. Recopy your notes.
  2. Recopy your notes after each lecture. This will reinforce the information you just learned. Make sure you understand what you are recopying.
  3. Write your One-Page Summary.
  4. This is the key step! Summarize your notes onto one page after the completion of each chapter. (Click here for an example of a One-Page Summary.) It is much easier and more productive to study from the one page of condensed notes.
  5. Understand and memorize your One-Page Summary.
  6. Don't blindly memorize. You must understand your summary before you memorize it.
  7. Do problems.
  8. To thoroughly understand the concepts presented in each chapter, do as many problems as you can from your textbook. For extra practice, click the Practice Problems tab and select the appropriate topic. Try to relate each problem to a point on your One-Page Summary. Write out all the steps of your solution, especially when the question involves structures.

Example of a One-Page Summary

Chapter: Alkynes
  1. IUPAC Naming: drop the -ane of alkane name and add –yne.
  2. Physical properties: increasing () the number of carbons increases boiling point (bp), branching decreases boiling point, alkynes are not polar.
  3. The two carbons (C) of the triple bond are sp hybridized, linear shape, bond angle = 180°.
  4. Classified as internal, C-C≡C-C, or terminal, -C≡C-H
  5. Terminal alkynes are slightly acidic:
  6. Alkynide ions also react with carbonyl compounds:
  7. Synthesis of Alkynes: - list and show the methods
  8. Reactions of Alkynes: - list and show the reactions
Start off by memorizing just the eight points of this chapter: naming, physical properties, hybridization, classifications, terminal are acidic, alkynide ions, synthesis, reactions. Then memorize the important facts about those eight points.

This could be a way out if you find out more explore more like this one on the residency writing side and there you will find some more sample on this residency writings.

You will find out a lot of fellowship program which can work for you but see this here once as they said they will give you the guarantee for any kind of circumstances.

Here are some check that where you can really find out as how they do their work on the personal writing side and how it could be going on there.

The teacher of the sciences has great chances for preparing the lecture of especially for chemistry because this subject is more difficult for the students. I recommend that https://www.phdthesiswriting.biz/help-with-writing-a-nursing-concept-analysis-paper/the students for preparing the assignment and exams. You will check the whole site for preparing the sciences exams.

This post is very helpful for the students of Chemistry and we can clear the concept of sciences with the help of this website because it gives us more information about the many things related to science. Science subject is https://www.statementofpurposephd.com/statement-of-purpose-for-phd-in-chemistry-tricks/ very important today because more students have take part in the sciences.
