0:00.0 | I'm so excited to announce that MCAT Go, an MCAT experience led by me, Sam Smith, the host of the MCAT basics podcast, is now available. |
0:08.7 | MCATGO provides engaging concise audio lessons that span the full spectrum of MCAT science and social science content. |
0:15.7 | Sign up now at medschoolcoach.com slash go. |
0:19.0 | Again, that's medschoolcoach.com slash go. Again, that's medschoolcoach.com slash go. |
0:24.8 | Welcome to the MCAT basics podcast, brought to you by the physicians at med school coach. |
0:30.5 | Each week, Sam Smith breaks down high-yield MCAT topics, so you can score as high as possible on test day. |
0:41.3 | Hello, I am Sam Smith and this is Sam's MCAT basics. |
0:46.6 | This podcast covers the most important topics put out on the AAMC MCAT each year. |
0:53.1 | And I determined this list by going through all the official practice materials that the AAMC puts out |
0:58.0 | and also some third-party practice material. |
1:01.5 | And just put together this big list of topics that consistently kept on showing up |
1:06.1 | and ranked those topics and made podcasts out of it. |
1:11.2 | So this podcast is going to cover atomic chemistry. |
1:16.4 | And I'm going to talk about kind of five or six main topics within atomic chemistry. |
1:22.0 | The first is going to be hybridization along with molecular geometry. |
1:26.5 | I'll talk a bit about quantum numbers and quantum theory and then go |
1:29.9 | into electron configuration periodic trends. And lastly, I will talk about atomic decay or nuclear decay. |
1:39.0 | And out of these topics, I would say the most important of these, or the one that I see most, is probably |
1:45.6 | decay. You see the decay a lot. You'll always get a hybridization question, probably, somewhere on the |
1:50.6 | MCAT. And this podcast will really cover just the physics chem section of the MCAT. So it's |
1:59.1 | just going to cover about one out of the four sections. |
2:02.2 | Again, this is on atomic chemistry, and I hope it helps. |
