CHEMISTRY COMMUNITY

Definitely keeping your studying balanced with relaxing so you don't overwork yourself or make yourself any more anxious.

Alexis 3F

Thank you so much for sharing!!

Alexis 3F

What kinds of dogs do chemists have??

Laboratory Retrievers

Alexis 3F

I watched a lot of practice problems on YouTube and followed along with the examples, and that was really helpful for me

Alexis 3F

Last night oxygen went on a date with potassium?

It went OK.

Alexis 3F

The final is absolutely cumaltive, so make sure to look over old tests and midterms

Alexis 3F

Does anyone know how many points would be needed, roughly, to get a B- or higher??

Alexis 3F

What kind of fish is made out of sodium atoms??
2 Na

Alexis 3F

I also like using flashcards and it's helpful to exchange notes with friends too and compare material (in case there's things you missed)!!

Alexis 3F

Definitely going to the review sessions help me so much!! I also watch extensive review videos on YouTube

Alexis 3F

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to, like the person above me sad, as long as we make it clear it's 10 different problems total and label them for the two weeks.

Alexis 3F

We should be getting more information on review sessions soon, probably by email or in class

Alexis 3F

^^^ that's really good advice actually, thank you!

Alexis 3F

I just did a bunch of the book problems from that section, and I also watched a youtube on intermolecular forces that had a lot of practice problems in it that I did while following along.

Alexis 3F

I think we should be receiving test 2 during our discussions!!

Alexis 3F

^^ I've been doing the same thing, making tangible flashcards would probably be better for your memorization but there are some on quizlet I've found!!

Alexis 3F

The second rule tells us that all single, double, and triple bonds are equally likely to repel each other

Alexis 3F

I'm pretty sure Lavelle said hybridization wasn't going to be on this test

Alexis 3F

I think it'd probably be best to learn how to draw the molecules structure just in case- even if it's not on the test, it might be helpful on problems where to visualizing the structures to figure out the bond angles

Alexis 3F

This test will only range from what we've learned since the midterm up until the first 5 minutes of class on monday

Alexis 3F

It probably depends on which TA you have and what they are looking for, it's not explicit on the syllabus so if you're unsure, I would ask your TA.

Alexis 3F

Does anyone know how many questions or how much time the final is supposed to be?

Alexis 3F

I'm pretty sure we're getting our midterms back on Wednesday, and I think he's going to show us the class average for the midterm as well... but that's just what I've heard.

Alexis 3F

I don't think the midterm will be curved, but the class itself is kind of on a curve, there's more information about it on the syllabus.

Alexis 3F

Oh thank you I had this question too

Alexis 3F

All these tips were actually really helpful, thank you!!

Alexis 3F

^^including the review of high school fundamentals covered in test 1

Alexis 3F

Attending the workshops is honestly one of the most helpful things you can do for yourself in preparing for the midterm

Degenerate orbitals represent elements where the s, p, d, and f orbitals all have the same energies. For example, hydrogen is degenerate because of the fact it has only one electron, so all the values of "l" in it's orbitals are the same, as well as the principle quantum number n which is ...

Alexis 3F

Thank you for this

Alexis 3F

I think it might also depend on which TA you have

Alexis 3F

Thank you so much for this - this question has kind of been unclear in the lectures.

Alexis 3F

For me, studying is most effective when I'm in a quiet area (like The Study at Hedrick, lol) and I usually skim through the textbook lessons as well as the notes I take in class. I also look over some notes from my high school AP Chem notebook if any of the topics we learned are something I went ov...

Alexis 3F

Thank you so much this was so helpful

Alexis 3F

I have the same question but I think it's one of those things that will become clearer as we get closer to the midterm.. depending on how much material we end up covering?

Alexis 3F

The workshops and the step-up sessions have been helpful in approaching problems and reviewing topics that I find confusing. I also go on YouTube when I haven't completely grasped the concepts, but I would strongly recommend to go to office hours for your TA as well. I AGREE!! Workshops are actuall...

Alexis 3F

Go to the workshops offered too!! I go to a few every week and have found that they're super helpful

Alexis 3F

I've been attending the workshops a few times a week and it's made suchhhh a positive improvement!!!!

Alexis 3F

This was helpful thank y'all

Alexis 3F

Y'all are so helpful thank you so much for this

Alexis 3F

Yes eventually, I remember one of the UA's told me we would need to remember some reactions for 14B, but I'm pretty sure that's only later on, and for now Lavelle will give us formulas and reactions (other than combustion, I think we need to know that one).

Alexis 3F

Thank you so much ! This is helpful

Alexis 3F

Thank you so much!! That list was actually helpful

Alexis 3F

I'm not 100% sure.. but I doubt we will need to include that I think it's just there for reference, and not actually essential to solving the problem itself.

Alexis 3F

Yes! You can find it for reference or practice on his class website too

Alexis 3F

As far as I know, we will be receiving the formulas for tests throughout 14A but I've read replies on here from other students emphasizing that it's good to gain familiarity with more "common" formulas like sodium carbonate, glucose, etc.. as you prepare for 14B

Thank you so much for this; as a student interested in pre-health, I found this advice very helpful!
