Chemistry Unit Test: What is on it? What should I study?
Topics on the test:• CHONPS• Organization of the periodic table• Families/groups• Periods• Characteristics of metals, metalloids, nonmetals• Names of the families in the periodic table• Combustion reaction• Be able to identify: reactants, products, from
a chemical equation
Topics on the test:• Given an example (like a circuit or a piece of
burning wood) and have to identify the types of energy
• Types of kinetic energy: radiant (light), thermal (heat), sound, electrical
• Type of potential energy: chemical energy• Energy transformation• 5 signs of a chemical reaction• hydrocarbons
Topics on the test:• Know where chemical energy is stored in a
compound• Be able to describe the different energy
transformations when chemical energy is released during a chemical reaction
• Law of conservation of mass• Count atoms• Be able to write the chemical formula from
words
Topics NOT on the test:
• Balancing chemical equations• Lewis structures (electron dot diagrams)• Chemical bonding with Lewis structures
What should I study?
• Study the Chemistry Unit Review Sheet:– Page 1 front and back– Page 2 front only
• Do NOT study:– Page 2 back
Acuity Constructed Response (CR) ? #32 will be an essay question on the test.
Answers:• Electrical energy = travels through the wires and
the bulb/filament• Light energy (radiant) = given off by the light
bulb• Chemical energy = stored in the battery• Heat energy (thermal) = given off by the wires,
bulb/filament, battery• Sound energy = given off by the light bulb
