Chemistry..

Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes.

In STPM examination syllabus, Chemistry is divided into three main parts of study, physical chemistry, organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry. In order to score well in your Chemistry paper, you have to study all these three parts. However, if you want to score excellence in this paper, you have to master all these parts.

Physical chemistry is more to calculation, and the basic of calculation we have learned about it during Form Four and Form Five. Well, there maybe some new facts that we study under Form Six, however what we learned is the continued part of what we study in Secondary School. So, if you can't score well in physical chemistry, you have to remind back what you have learned before, ask your junior about what they have learned during they are in Form Four or Form Five. Take their textbooks and read it over again so that you can master the basic calculation such as how to calculate the number of mole. Do you remember all the formulae to calculate mole? Well, there are many ways to do it!! Discover it yourself.

Organic chemistry maybe new to some of us. However, we actually have learned about it too when we under Form Four or Form Five, but we only learned a little bit only. The processes, the naming of alkane, alkene and etc. In Form Six lessons, we also learned the processes but we learn more about it. The mechanism of reactions, the conditions that we must know so that the reactions can take place and many more. However, if you notice about it, you will find organic chemistry is the easiest to study. All the processes involved the same thing, even the mechanism also almost alike. At first, I also feel so 'ma fan' need to study about organic chemistry, need to memorise many formula, conditions and reactants involved. But, after sometimes, I start to love it, and can score very high for it. It is so easy, have a good time to study it!!

Inorganic chemistry, we study about the periodic table. Well, I admit that I hate this field of chemistry. Many we need to memorise, and it is quiet boring though. However, we can't abandoned inorganic chemistry, cause we need to face it both in paper 1 and paper 2 of chemistry paper. And some of the questions given are easy sometimes, so why don't you have a good try in this inorganic chemistry? It is not you must master all topics but at least you must score some topics.

Chemistry, is the study of matter. When we get to know about chemistry more, we will discover about ourselves more. So keep on it, even though you don't like chemistry, you can't avoid it. And of course, if you really hate chemistry, don't try to force yourself to love it, cause it may hurt you. :)
