WARNING: THIS IS ONLY A STUDY GUIDE. YOU MUST ACTUALLY STUDY. DO NOT PROCASTINATE!! SAMPLE QUESTIONS WILL BE POSTED ON RENWEB. MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT THEM!

List of topics to study:

Chapters 1-9

Chapter 1: An Introduction

Scientific Method-Be able to apply it to a real life problem

Chapter 2: Matter

Know the difference between elements/compounds and molecule Physical vs. Chemical Properties/Changes (Be able to give examples and/or classify a change or property) Mixtures vs. Pure substances (Be able to classify) Types of Mixtures Separation of Methods

Ch. 3: Chemical Foundations: Elements, Atoms and Ions

Names and Symbols of Elements Dalton’s Atomic Theory Thomson’s Experiment Plum Pudding Model Rutherford’s Model Model of the Nuclear Atom Isotopes Ions- how they are formed

Ch.4: Nomenclature

Ionic vs. Covalent Names and formulas of strong acids/bases Type I, Type II, Type III Compounds POLYATOMIC IONS

Ch.5: Measurements and Calculations

Scientific Notation Conversion (Metric System and English System)-Look at the chart I gave you in class Uncertainty in Measurement Temperature Conversions Significant Figures (Be able to apply the rules for addition/subtraction, division/multiplication) Density

Ch.6: Chemical Composition

Atomic masses and amu Grams-moles-number of atoms/molecules

Molar mass Percent composition Empirical vs Molecular Formula

Chapter 7: Chemical Reactions-An Introduction
