Anyone got a good suggestion for me to cramp 35 chapters of pure chem crap under 15hrs? Let me start off, maybe I shouldn't be at my comp at this time :lol: ... need study techniques ppl...suggestions welcome

Anyone got a good suggestion for me to cramp 35 chapters of pure chem crap under 15hrs? Let me start off, maybe I shouldn't be at my comp at this time :lol: ... need study techniques ppl...suggestions welcome
Good luck with the re-sit
okay without the resit ;)
hmm you sound alto like me
what i used to do was read the study notes and that was it funny once
i read the book studied got 4 out of 20 <_<
didn't read the book and studied the study notes new shit about the book memorized and got a nice 18
One suggestion........Do not try and cramp that many chapters at once.
It's realy bad on the stomach ;)
Good luck Red.........It sounds like your going to need it :)
Peace brotherdoobie

I've been working so hard for introductory calculus and economics I forsaken my sciences...i'm gonna drop chem next year newayz
did i forget to mention physics is just the day after :D :D :( :( :ph34r: :ph34r:
That's what my parents always told me. :lol: It worked when I was little. :unsure:Quote:

now, now people, this is about me and my chem exams.. :(
what are the main topics and i can give you a quick summary about them.
redox, hydrocarbons, gas laws, energy profile diagrams, metal displacement reactions, etc...wow I just came up with those on of the top of my head. :lol:Quote:

in chemistry there are some stuff you can summarize ;)
you have to imagine some special reactions ;)
~nice dreams...
here are my chem notes from 3 different pages (we are allowed to have 1 page of notes with the test)
(btw this is only like early chapters)
Laws of conservation mass In products of a chemical reaction have the same mass as the reactants
Law of conservation energy Any physical or chemical change, energy can change form, but toal amount of energy remains constant. Cannot be created or destroyed.
Specific Heat capacity amount of heat energy required to raise the temp. 1g of the substance by 1k. SI unit for energy is joule.
Accuracy-how exact it is. How close to true value. Precision how closely several measurements of the same quantity made in the same way agree w/ 1 another.
Cathode Ray Tube Experiment J.J Thompson Pumped most of the air out of the glass tube, Applied a voltage to two metal plates placed at each end of the tube. The plates are called Electrodes. One of the plates is called the anode, attached to positive terminal of the voltage source, therefore it had a positive charge. The other plate, a cathode carried a negative charge, because it was attached to the negative terminal of the voltage source.
Rays emerged from cathode and struck the anode & nearby glass walls. Cathode rays are called that because of their origin. Used in T.V., monitors, oscilliopes, & radar displays.
Cathode rays consist of tiny particles, they have mass. Negatively charged. Electron mass is 5.485799x10 to the negative 4. Cathode rays always identical.
Rutherford Experiment A beam of positively charged particles called alpha particles directed at gold foil. Most particles shot at foil and passed through. But some were deflected. Only a very concentrated positive charge located in the gold atom could repel the fast moving positively charged alpha particles. Came up with the nucleus. It meant that most of the atom was made of empty space though. Nucleus contains all of atoms positive charge and nearly all its mass, but only a small fraction of its volume. Nucleus less than 1/10,000 of the radius of the whole atom.
Protons Positively charged particles.
Protons & Neutrons found inside nucleus. Electrons found outside nucleus.
Atomic number-number of protons. # of protons = # of electrons.
Mass number minus Atomic number = number of neutrons
Isotopes-atoms of same element w/ diff #s of neutrons. One of two or more atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
Radioisotopes unstable nuclear configurations.
Allotrope-one of a number of different molecular forms of an element.
Density=Mass/Volume
Organic compounds have carbon

ml=cm cubed. Liter = 1000 milliliters. Liter = 1000cm cubed.

Electromagnetic spectrum includes x-rays, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves. light=energy
Frequency X wavelength = speed of light
Element can be excited if electron is not where it is expected to be
Each orbital holds 2 electrons. 2, 8, 18, 32
S-spherical, P dumbbell, D - 4 leaf clover. Shapes represent clouds.
Difference between 3p & 2p orbitals, 3p takes up more space.
2n squared to find electron number, where N is the principle energy level.
Sig Figs addition, no more #s than the least # of sig figs to the right of the decimal.
A number that can only take definite values is a quantum number.
Columns in periodic table called groups.
Metals are members of groups 1 12 as well as some elements in group 13 and 16. groups 3-12 = transition metals.
Nonmetals = second region of the periodic table.
Semiconductors or metalloids conduct electricity better than nonmetals but not better than metals.
Groups 1, 2, and 13-18 are called main group elements.
Alkali metals react w/ water to produce alkaline solutions.
Halogens combine w/ most metals to produce salts. Most reactive group of nonmetals.
Noble Gases low reactivity
Hydrogen its own class- behaves unlike other elements because it has one proton and one electron.

they repeat because i took 4 tests with 4 different pages of notes, but i took some notes from previous chapters :)
hope i could help :)
btw: this is HS chemistry, not college ;)
i can photocopy my university books for you, but it will take me about 3weeks.
hey wait a sec, this thread was created on a saturday - u had a chem exam on sunday? :blink:
nah it's created on Sunday. and thanks guys for the notes, but i'm not even allowed notes here and some stuff on the previous page is a bit irrelevant, but still thanks heaps.
I just hope I don't screw up Gas laws and redox....or electorn dot diagrams...i suck at those and yehr i'm in high school in aus not college...
btw, as im posting this, i'm only an hr 15mins away from my exam.
any last minute questions you need help with?Quote:

how do you felt u did?
hopefully it went well dude. electron dot diagrams are easy. try remembering the whole periodic table for exams. hydrogen, helium, lithium, berelium, boron, carbon,nitogen, oxygen, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, sulphur....the rest is a blur after the few pints i counsumed tonight.
baking soda and vineger do not mix :o
