<p>Are we tested with specific scientists and what they did and how they did it?
Is there a general list of these people?</p>
<p>I.e. JJ Thomson -> cathode ray tube -> discovered electrons. etc...</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>well there is a possibility but i don’t think they will though since there is so much else to ask.</p>
<p>btw i looked it up on apcentral and it doesn’t say any scientists :

<p>No, they will never ask who did what experiment, why or what gas law was founded by who.</p>
<p>But they will ask you to use those gas laws appropriately, and they could ask what would you expect to happen if “…”, and the description “…” is similar to a famous experiment. </p>
<p>But really, they don’t go into any of that. They have only 75 questions to gauge your knowledge of all of chemistry. They aren’t going to waste any on silly things like which scientist did what.</p>
<p>Of course, if the scientist’s name is included in a law or rule or he is associated with it, that may be important. I have seen on some MC, where i had to match Hund’s law to some phenomenon ( i think magnetism).</p>
<p>i think the 1999 exam had one question on rutherford… i may be mistaken though, cause every test is starting to blend together hahaha</p>
<p>No you’re right, that’s accurate. It had one on rutherford’s gold foil experiment, and that was just about knowing how the nucleus is charged or whatever… i forget. XD Something about how the nucleus or outer electrons repelled the light being shot… ugh I give up XD</p>
