Innovative Mnemonics in Chemical Education - A Review Article
[1]
Arijit Das, Department of Chemistry, Ramthakur College, Agartala, India.
In this review article, formulae based mnemonics on chemical education have been highlighted by innovative and time economic way to enhance interest of students’ who belong to paranoia zone of chemistry. Here, I have tried to hub fifteen (15) time economic mnemonics by including thirty six (36) formulae in the field of chemical education. This article encourages students to solve multiple choice type questions (MCQS) at different competitive examinations in time economic ground.
