Fundamental MCAT Chemistry In our first practice chemistry question, I mentioned how important the fundamentals are in chemistry. And the most fundamental thing in chem is atomic structure and the periodic table. Our previous question asked about a periodic trend…
MCAT Practice Chemistry Question Our previous Chemistry question asked about a common fundamental topic on the MCAT – trends on the periodic table. For this question, we’ll go to the other end of the difficulty spectrum and look at a…
While the chemistry that’s tested on the MCAT can get pretty complicated, the lion’s share of the questions come from the application of relatively fundamental ideas to the tricky situations in the passages. In order to ace the physical sciences…
