It helps if you understand Chemistry deeply enough to be able to
figure out the mechanisms for the inorganic chemistry reactions (at
least for the simpler ones, excluding the more complicated redox
ones). Try drawing out the mechanisms for the inorganic reactions
that you're required to be familiar with, and once you get the
mechanisms right, it'll help a lot in that you can recall the
reactions more naturally, with understanding instead of blind
memorization. Your school teacher will probably have no time to
help you with these, best is if you can find a private tutor who is
willing (and competent enough) to help guide you with these
mechanisms.
May I know what the examiners are asking of the
requirements of the students,ie memory-based or
application,memory+application?
Any better way to recall/recap with writing?(esp.Chemical
Periodicity)I have difficulty understanding the formulae.
The top few students in Chem in my class(including myself),face
difficulties relating to this chapter.(such as constant reference
to notes)
I have attempted tutorials and found them manageable,but the
memory part appears to be hard to grasp.
