Thought I would make a thread like this to maybe help some people..

If you have a mnemonic device that you use for certain things.. Please post.. They may help some people out...

I'll start it off..

ROYGBIV
Vision Spectrum

 

[SonofanOpt]

OIL RIG
Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain (of Electrons)

 

[TNgal21]

King Phillip Came Over For Great Soup!

Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

SEVEN UP

Seminiferous tubule
Epididymus
Vas deferens
Ejaculatory Duct
Nothing
Urethra
Penis

SEVEN UP

Seminiferous tubule
Epididymus
Vas deferens
Ejaculatory Duct
Nothing
Urethra
Penis

I think I actually ended up using that on the test...

Another one you could use for electrons is:

"LEO the lion makes a 'GER' noise"
(LEO= loose electrons oxidized; GER = gain electrons reduced)

Lame but it totally worked for me 😛

 

[OpticalBlackOut]

I was a huge fan of LEO the lion says GER and SEVEN UP.
Add in

PEMDAS;
not too original, still very useful.

King TUC (tut) is in a Pyramid - thymine, uracil, cytosine are pyrimidines

Pure AG - adenine and guanine are purines

Similar to the previous post:

I could never remember which ones were purines and pyrimidines until my teacher came up with this:

PU AG (PUrines: Adenine Guanine)
PY CT U (PYrimidines: Cytosine and Thyamine (DNA)/Uracil (RNA)

You say it like "Poo AG Picked You"

And I always remember that the smaller word has the double ring (purines) and pyrimidines have only one ring.

King Hector Died Monday Don't Call Me

Km Hm Dm (m) dm cm mm

Metric prefixes
also use with grams, etc.

You CUT the "py" (pie)
This means that the other two, AG, are obviously not "py."

I always used "CUT the pyramid".... which doesn't necessarily make much sense, but it worked for me.

 

[ng26]

you could also remember "pure As Gold" for the AG

 

[Optom3try5]

For which elements hydrogen bonding occurs with:

Hydrogen bonding occurs on the FON (sounds like phone): Fluorine, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.

 

[Optom3try5]

To remember the variables in Gibb's Free energy:

G=H-TS: Get High Test Scores.

CAP RAS

Capacitors Add when Parallel (Parallel) Ceq=C1+C2+C3+...
Resistors Add when in Series (Series) Req=R1+R2+R3+...



Then you can either remember that the other type for both is adding the reciprocals or shorten it again



CRS RRP
Capacitors add Reciprocal for Series (Series) (1/Ceq)= (1/C1)+(1/C2)+(1/C3)+...
Resistors add Reciprocal when Parallel (Parallel) (1/Req)=(1/R1)+(1/R2)+(1/R3)+...

 

[EyEnStein 07]

Diatomic elements anyone? (dont know if this is important for OATs)

"I" "H"ave "O"ne "Cl"oset "F"or "N"ine "Br"ooms

or

I Bring clay for our new home

 

[sweetmonkey]

I Pied on the MAT

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telephase.

 

[velossien1]

Here's some:

for Q=MC (change in) T
I thought when change in T was a triangle the word looked like Q= MCAT. That ended up helping me with that.

Also for the Lorentz Force Law I had a weird, Star Trek one:
F=qVBsin(x)
Fans Queue (for) Vulcan Beauties.
Yeah... I'm a nerd.

For oxidation/reduction and anodes/cathodes:
An Ox; Red Cat
Anode Oxidation; Reduction Cathode
