Hello guys! Welcome to KEM KORNER!

This page, I hope, will help you obtain a deeper understanding and appreciation of basic and not-so-basic chemistry concepts. For those looking for entertainment, there will be bits of that here although I'm not so sure yet how I'll go about this "entertainment" thing. But I assure you that this blog will be filled with links, downloadables and test-yourself questions that will help you, in some way, improve your understanding of the world of chemistry.

Suggestions, contributions and reactions, violent or otherwise, are also welcome... :)

The Element Song :)))



Lyrics:

There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium, (gasp)
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.

There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,
And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,
And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium.

There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead, praseodymium and platinum, plutonium,
Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,
And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium, (gasp)
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.

There's sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,
And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium,
And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium.

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Hahvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discahvered.

Long Test - Energy Metabolism (40 Items)



To my FSIM Biochem Classes...

The questions I have posted for this test are of 2 types: True or False and Identification. The questions will randomly appear as you click the "submit my answer" tab on each page. This means the sequence the questions will follow is unique for each quiz-taker. Make sure you enter the correct spelling of the words for questions under the identification type.

Before starting the test, you will be asked to enter your name (please include your course, year and section, i.e. LEMUEL OWEN H. CABANA FSIM 1I). You are also asked to provide a password. Password for the test is kemkorner.

You are given 30 minutes to finish answering all the questions. Yes, I know I promised I'll give you an hour but, I have taken the test myself and realized that 1 hour is too long a time to allow you to go over your lecture notes (yes, i know that too, hehe!). Your result will appear after the 40th question is answered. I am no longer requiring you to print the certificate generated by the site at the end of the test.

Click the image above to go to the quiz page... Good luck!
