<p>Is there anything else I need to 100% commit to memory besides solubility rules, nuclear decay (like positron, beta, alpha...), and how to recognize different types of acids/bases (Lewis, Arrhenius, and Bronsted-Lowry)?</p>
<p>Know elements and their colors. Also, definitely try to memorize organic forms but don’t stress too much about it–it only appeared once last year and it was on the FRQ, so I wouldn’t suspect that it’d be on the FRQ this year too. You never know though~</p>
<p>Oh yeah, flame colors and solution colors…</p>
<p>Should I even bother memorizing organic structures? We didn’t cover organic chem at all in my class and I’m not sure whether to skip it entirely or devote some time to memorizing alkanes, alcohols, etc…</p>
<p>Devote some time to it, yeah. It’s not worth a whole lot on the MC portion but if it shows up on the FRQ then there’s no way to dodge it.</p>
<p>EDIT: Don’t devote all of your time to it though, I mean. Just get the basics~</p>
