- naming (make sure u know EVERY substituents and how to deal with subtituents inside substituents)
- optical isomers & chiral centre
- Lewis structure
- combustion and Wurtz reaction
- structural (constitutional isomers)
- and of course....the free radical substitution mechanism.
 
Be prepared.

CHM301 - Pre-test review

CHM270 - Pre-test Review

(Updated on 01.08.11, 11:22am)

@Ismi: In layman's term...it could also mean - "What is the reaction order of A?"

 p/s: munasabah betul la tanya soalan pukul 5:47 pagi...hadoyaiiii....

(Updated on 31.07.11, 10:20pm)

@Kamalia: The topics u should focus on are: Hess law, the collision theory, and ALL the discussion that we had in class...I will also includes some of the questions from paper CHM159 and CHM201 from previous 3 semesters, which related to the respective chapter. For example, CHM201 paper (April 2011), you shud be able to answer questions from Part A (16, 17, 19) and Part B (6) <------ (HINT!)

All of the questions have been discussed in class....so, do the tutorial and the previous exam papers, and hopefully you'll be rewarded.

(Updated on 31.07.11, 9:22am)

The test (which covers the chapter on Thermodynamics and Kinetics) will be held tomorrow during tutorial session. In the mean time, pls post any inquiries in the comment session and I'll try to reply it immediately. Also, try to answer questions from the previous exam papers (CHM159 and CHM201).

Pls check this post for updates on questions, hints and discussion.
