AP Midterm Review

The midterm will be 75 questions long. This is an actual AP Exam. I do not expect you to be able to answer the last 20 problems but I still want you to see how the exam is. You will be graded just like the exam (I will curve it). You will also be given a basic periodic table (name, symbol, atomic number, & atomic mass).

You should bring a scientific calculator, some #2 pencils, and a good eraser.

The exam covers chapters 1 - 9. I will anjust the test so that these are the questions you will be graded on. The following is a list of topics covered so far, any of which may be on the midterm. This list may be incomplete. Check your syllabi and go back through the chapters (especially the chapter summaries).

Here's the list:

matter & states	solubility rules
physical vs. chemical	signs of reaction & driving force
mixtures & solutions	metal reactions
elements & compounds	oxidation & reduction ("ReDox")
units, labels, & factor/label	activity series
Celsius, Kelvin, & Fahrenheit	titration
precision, accuracy, & sig. figs	energy in reaction
atomic structure & theory	kinetic & potential
isotopes, atomic mass	internal energy, heat, & work
periodic table & families	state functions
metallic properties & trends	exo- & endo-
molecules & ions	heats of reaction, Hess' law
molecular, ionic, empirical formulae	heat capacity & calorimetry
naming inorganic compounds	heats of formation
polyatomic ions	electrons, photons, & waves
molecular compounds	electromagnetic radiation
chemical reactions & equations	UV, IR, visible, line & continuous spectra
stoichiometry	E = hn c = ln l = h/mv
atomic & molecular weights	orbitals, quanta, uncertainty principle
moles	s, p, d, & f
empirical formulas from analysis	1s2s2p3s3p4s3d4p5s4d5p6s4f5d6p7s5f6d7p
using balanced equations	shielding & effective nuclear charge
limiting reactants & theoretical yield	electron configuration & the periodic table
molarity	periodic properties & trends
concentration & dilution	bonding: covalent, ionic, & metallic
electrolytes: strong & weak	dot diagrams & Lewis structures
equilibrium	energy & bonding
acids & bases: strong & weak	bond polarity & electronegativity
neutralization & salts	resonance structures
ionic equations: overall & net	bond lengths & strengths
metathesis & precipitation reactions	molecular geometry
oxidation numbers	bond angles
VSEPR	polarity of molecules
"expanded valence shells"	hybrid orbitals (sp, sp2, sp3, dsp3, d2sp3)
orbital overlap	multiple bonds
s & p bonds	s* & p* bonds
molecular orbitals	lab safety
diatomic molecules	labs from class

Please study together in groups; teach each other what you don't all know, and ask good questions BEFORE the exam.

Your part 2 is take home.
