My job aspiration


Hey all!!


Right now, I want to blog about my job aspiration. As you guys can see the picture above, I am interested in medical line and anyting that are associated with. I got this ambition of being a doctor since I was young and right now I am in the right path. I am one step closer in achieving it and I am grateful that I am in the right track.


Basically, after my study in Millennia I could pursue a course in medicine at NUS. It is quite a challenging course as it only accepts about 240 intakes and most of the students there is a straight As students so it is quite challenging for me. I will also learn about the surgeory which will take me a total of 5 years.


Besides that, I could also pursue a course on applied science course in NUS on biomedical incline but without the basic biology knowledge, I would have to take an extra module on general biology. Other than that, the duration of the course will be abt 3-4 years.
Well, basically that's all about my job aspiration. Hope you guys find this post beneficial and hope that you enjoyed the rest of your holiday!! :)

My strength and weakness

Strength
My strength is on the calculations of mole, atoms and the empirical formula.


Weakness
My weakness is doing some experiments because of some applications on the practical.

3 things I learned about chemistry

1) Binary Covalent Nomenclature Compound

steps to write the name of binary covalent compunds.

1st step:
If the first element is more than 2 and a non-metal, indiciate using one of the prefixes.
E.g. N2O3; di--

2nd step:
then put the name of an element.
E.g. N2O3; dinitrogen

3rd step:
Next put the 2nd element using the prefixes.
E.g. dinitrogen tri--

4th step:
Then put the name of 2nd elements.
E.g N2o3 ; dinitrogen trioxide.



2) I learned the roots of non-metal.

E.g.
H - hyd
C - carb
N - nitr
P - phosph
As - arsen


3)There is also a few names of the prefixes for the binary covalent nomenclature.

1 - mon(o)
2 - di
3 - tri
4 - tetr(a)
5 - pent(a)
6 - hex(a)
7 - hept(a)
