1001 Questions in MCAT Chemistry provides practice questions in all chemistry topics covered by the MCAT. The questions and explanations are designed to teach the student to think intuitively. Like the MCAT, conceptual thinking is encouraged while lengthy calculations are discouraged. Memorization of basic formulas is required, but usually will not, in itself, provide the fastest method to finding an answer. Questions are conveniently arranged by topic. Question difficulty ranges from easy to very difficult. Questions are formatted exactly like the MCAT. Answers and explanations are provided
The Examkrackers Chemistry Manual provides comprehensive instruction and simulated MCAT practice in the general and organic chemistry topics that are essential for success on the MCAT. The Examkrackers Chemistry Manual prepares students for the newly integrated MCAT, by highlighting connections between chemical and biological processes. This manual will further your success on both the “Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems” and the “Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems” sections on the MCAT.
In the past twenty-five years the products of organic chemistry have been increasingly encountered by the community at large. Polymers, plastics, pesticides and the wonder-drugs have all become part of everyday life. The products of organic chemistry are seen in objects as diverse as carpets, containers, drain-pipes and shoes. Organic chemistry encompasses very many disciplines, e.g. biochemistry, food, rubber and textile chemistry. Its practice demands the cooperation of a variety of skills...
No period in the history of organic chemistry has been as dynamic and productive of research accomplishment as the twelve years between the completion of the first and present editions of this textbook. New reagents, new reactions, and extraordinary syntheses have been manifold. New techniques and new instruments for analysis and determination of structures, improved methods for theoretical calculations, as well as new junctures with physical, inorganic, and biochemistry, have made organic chemistry an enormously vital discipline.
Many students struggle in high school chemistry. Even if they succeed in earning a good grade, they often still feel confused and unconfident. Why is this? And what can be done to help every student succeed in this vitally important course? Success in chemistry, according to veteran science teacher Professor Frank Cardulla, doesn't require any special intellectual gifts or talents or advanced mathematical skill. All it requires is a genuine understanding of the ideas that students encounter in the high school chemistry classroom.
