Chemistry Flashcards

Chemistry is one of the most common trouble spots on the TEAS science section, especially for students who haven't taken a chemistry class in years. This deck covers the vocabulary that comes up again and again: atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, solutions, and acid-base balance.

Because so much of nursing practice depends on body chemistry, from electrolytes to pH balance, this deck connects each chemistry term to how it actually shows up in the body and in patient care, not just abstract lab concepts.
