| From chem2U |
One way of remembering the defnition is by using mneumonics. The following is one example: OIL-RIG
Other example of mneumonics:
"GEROA", "LEORA"—Gain Electron Reduction Oxidizing Agent, Lose Electron Oxidation Reducing Agent

Compare Hexane and Hexene
Recently my students just carried out experiments to compare hexane(C6H14) and (C6H14) in terms of sootiness of flame during combustion. Filter papers are used to collect soot formed during the experiments.
It is obvious from the filter papers, hex-1-ene produces more soot than hexane during combustion. It is due to percentage of carbon content. Though both hex-1-ene and hexane have 6 carbon atoms per molecule, but hex-1-ene has higher percentage of carbon content than hexane.

Paper 3 SPM 2005 - Planning an Experiment
In paper 3 Chemistry SPM, a student is asked to plan an experiment based on the situation given. I have given this question to my students as an exercise. Most of the time, they would give me an wrong experiment plan. They planned experiment exactly the same as the experiment they carried out to investigate how the concentration of sodium thiosulphate affect its rate of reaction with sulphuric acid.

Aspirin
Aspirin is one example of analgesic which is normally used in treatment for headache and fever. However it is not suitable for kids as it can cause internal bleeding in the stomach.

Atomic Model
An atom consists of three types of subatomic particles:
- proton
- neutron
- electrons
In Paper 2 SPM 2006, students are asked
- to compare the relative mass and the charge of two of the subatomic particles[4 marks].
- describe fully the atomic structure of lithium[6 marks].
- draw the structure of an atom of sodium or potassium[7 marks].
- describe and the atomic structure of hydrogen[4 marks].

Latex
Rubber tree(Hevea brasiliensis) is quite common in Malaysia. The first rubber tree in Malaysia still can be found is in Kuala Kangsar, Perak.
Latex is a white white milk-like fluid secreted by rubber tree. It's a type of polymer, called polyisporene. Due to its elasticity, latex is widely used to produce latex glove, condoms and clothing.
