I got a good question from a student recently:\u00a0 “Should I memorize this or not?”<\/p>\n
To be breif on this introduction, there are two types of students: memorizers and learners.\u00a0 Which is better?\u00a0 Both are a good, but being\u00a0a combination of the two is the best.\u00a0 That being said, there are certain times where one is essential.\u00a0 Nomenclature is one of those.<\/p>\n
Meth – 1<\/p>\n
Eth – 2<\/p>\n
Prop – 3<\/p>\n
But -4<\/p>\n
Pent – 5<\/p>\n
Hex – 6<\/p>\n
Hept – 7<\/p>\n
Oct – 8<\/p>\n
Non – 9<\/p>\n
Dec – 10<\/p>\n
If you memorize these now, you will save yourself a world of trouble down the road.\u00a0 So, in conclusion, I am not a HUGE fan of memorization, but this is one instance where it is a good idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
