Chapter 3States of Matter

• States of Matter (solids, liquids and gases)
• Kinetic Theory (recall molecular motion and its
  relation to temperature and phase)
• Behavior of Gases, Liquids, and Solids
• Phase Changes ( melting, freezing, condensation,
  vaporization, sublimation, deposition, changes in
  temperature during and between phase changes)

Chapter 4Atomic Structure

• The Greeks Model of the Atom (Democritus)
• John Daltons Atomic Theory ( his representation
  of the atom)
• J.J. Thomsons Atomic Model ( his atomic model
  and the evidence for subatomic particles)
• Rutherfords Model of the Atom ( his atomic
  model, the gold foil experiment, the discovery of
  the nucleus)
• Neils Bohrs Atomic Model ( his representation of
  the atom, what happens to the electron as it
  transfers energy levels)

5
Chapter 4Atomic Structure

• Atomic Number, Mass Number ( How they are
  determined, what they represent)
• Properties of Subatomic Particles ( Charges and
  masses of the Proton, Neutron, and Electron, who
  was Chadwick?)
• The Electron Cloud Model of the Atom ( what is an
  electron cloud)
• Atomic Orbitals ( What is the maximum number of
  electrons in each energy level?)

6
Chapter 5The Periodic Table

• Mendeleevs Periodic Table ( on what basis was
  his periodic table organized, who was Moseley and
  how was his periodic table organized)
• The Periodic Law ( what are groups, periods, and
  families)
• Atomic Mass (how is it calculated)
• Classes of Metals (differentiate between the
  properties of metals, non-metals, and metalloids)
• Variation Across a Period ( general periodic
  trends such as where are the most reactive
  metals, non-metals, and metalloids)
• Valence Electrons ( how do these effect the
  properties of the elements, where are the Noble
  Gases, Halogens, Alkaline Earth Metals, and
  Alkali Metals)

7
Chapter 6Chemical Bonds

• Stable Electron Configurations
• Ionic Bonds (definition, what are anions, and
  cations, what is ionization energy)

• Describing Ionic Compounds ( name common ions and
  polyatomic ions, writing formulas for ionic
  compounds)

Chapter 7Chemical Reactions

• Chemical Equations (identify the products and
  reactants of an equation)
• Balancing Equations (mass balance using
  coefficients)
• Classifying Reactions (identify synthesis,
  decomposition, single replacement, and double
  replacement reactions)

9
Chapter 8Acids and Bases

• What is an acid?
• What is a base?
• What occurs during a neutralization reaction?
  What are the products of such a reaction?
• What is a buffer, and indicator, a salt?
• Describe strong vs. weak acids and bases.
• How does concentration differ from strength?
• What does pH indicate?
• What are Hydronium ions?
• Write balanced equations using coefficients for
  various acid-base reactions.
