What are you asking ? I am confused . Why don't you just chill and have fun before starting medical school.

Hey Div8,

I'm not sure what kind of chemistry is need for your MBBS, but I can answer your question just based on what is need to succeed in a medical level clinical biochemistry course (or at least I can try ):

- Intermolecular/intramolecular forces (hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds, ...)
- concepts of hydrophillicity, hydrophobicity
- some physical sciences type chemistry (what influences melting point of a substance?)
- pH, pKa, and acid-base chemistry
- a little bit of electrochemistry (what is fick's law? the nernst equation? oxidation? reduction?)
- organic chemistry: nature of C-C bonds, and C-O,N,... bonds
- some knowledge of symmetry of chemical bonds (why are the carbons in a double bond with each other in the same plane?)

I think this should be a good base knowledge. Anything else, you can pick it up "on the fly". I hope this helps !
