Good Chemistry
You meet that special someone and though you are not attracted to them at first, their "charge" for you eventually causes you feel something back, due to this IMF.
What is dipole-induced dipole forces
Using the high activation energy of a reaction to justify why it is not spontaneous is making this common MCAT mistake?
What is conflating kinetics and thermodynamics?
It is often said that biology is just applied chemistry, and chemistry is applied this subject (which is pretty much just calculus).
What is:
Phosphorus
Hydrogen
Yttrium
Silicon
Cesium
Contrary to the belief of some, it is this fluid that flows through the pulmonary trunk
What is blood!
This is the amount of time you have on average to complete 1 GChem question!
What is ~1:35!
What is electronegativity
Though the conjugate of a strong acid is in fact a very weak base, it is so weak that we consider it not a base at all. A "weak base," then, is produced as a conjugate of this species.
What is a weak acid!
The bicarbonate buffer system helps prevent against the harmful effects of excess CO2 in the bloodstream, which lowers blood pH, a condition given what name?

Monogamy is commonly practiced with nonmetals in the HOFBrINCl series, but not so much with metals, due to their propensity for what type of bonding?
What is metallic bonding!
A "Texas carbon" is an atom of C with 5 (or more) bonds to it, and only exists in wrong answer choices on the MCAT due to its violation of this chemical principle.
What is the octet rule?
By atomic number, this is the first element with a name that can be made up by symbols, which is fitting, because it is one of the elements that makes up us!
What is CArBON
In chemistry, work equals pressure times the change in volume. In physics, work equals force over a distance. This makes sense, when you consider that the Joule, a unit of work, is equal to what, in terms of Newtons and Meters?
What is N x m
This is how many days in advance you can book a follow-up MCAT if you think you did poorly on the first one
What is 10!
Opposites attract! You and your partner are always joined at the hip and impossible to separate -- unless you are doing this leisurely activity!
What is swimming? (solubilizing ionic bonds)
The 4s subshell is filled before the 3d subshell. Or is it? This element serves as an exception to the rule, with 10 electrons in the 3d subshell and only 1 in the 4s shell.
What is copper!
You are in PSO 533478. How many different ways are there to spell out your PSO number with atomic numbers?
11!
(1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 11)
This theory in psychology states that you will perform at your best when you are sitting for the MCAT on test day--unless you get too stressed
What is the optimal arousal theory?
This is the lowest score that puts you in the 100th percentile range on the most up-to-date MCAT (varying depending on the day)
You just feel like you are putting all of the love in your relationship and it is not that strong. You are most likely participating in what kind of bond?
What is coordinate covalent?
The pKa of HCO3- is 6.7, so the pKb of HCO3 is 7.3. No! Given the first statement, this species actually has a pKb of 7.3!
What is CO32-!
There are more than 60 different ways to spell "postinoculation," the period of time after receiving, say, the COVID vaccine. Provide one of them.
Answers will vary.
This neurotransmitter (a chemical signal) is responsible for carrying on parasympathetic impulses to target organs. That is, except for the sweat glands!
What is Acetylcholine (ACh)
What are experimental questions!
