I'm finding it to be heavily theory based, so i'm not sure how i should approach unit 4. Many of the questions from the heinemann textbook seem useless, so i was just thinking of rote learning stuff and then practising exam questions. How are/did you learn unit 4, particularly AOS 2?
Any ideas/suggestions are welcomed :)

lol considering ive done like nothing for chem all semester so far.... I don't know.
However, I thought unit 3 was rote learning mostly XD all that crap about spectroscopy etc.
I've just started notes so far on just the basic concepts... i went waaay too crazy with summaries last semester - not wasting valuable time on that!

I make mind maps and understand the concept through them. For equilibrium i find that rote learning is not effective, most of the parts can be derived on the spot (e.g. le chattliers principle).
hope this helps :)

i disagree i think unit 4 is more conceptual based as u have to have a good understanding of why certain things are occuring...
rather than unit 3 rote spectrscopy techniques and graph reading learn formulas plug in numbers etc
to me theory means conceptual learning whereas the maths part is rote learning lol
