AP Chemistry Mandatory Meeting 6/10/2016 12:25-12:50 Room 17 Summer Assignment and Preparation for AP Chemistry 2016-2017 Get files of Textbook Chapter 1 through 4 from Mrs. Bude. We use the following text: Chemistry, 9th edition by Zumdahl Complete the Textbook Notes and Chapter End Questions. THIS IS HOMEWORK AND IS DUE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. This assignment will take a while, so don’t put it off! Textbook Notes. Read the text very carefully then take detailed hand-written notes. Take at least one page per section. Include all “Interactive Examples” in your notes. Minimum hand-written page numbers for each chapter are shown below: Chapter Minimum number of hand written notes pages 1 10 2 8 3 11 4 10 Chapter End Questions (This assignment is NOT included in your chapter notes.) Complete these problems neatly on binder papers, showing your work. Hand written only. (If your hand writing is not good, please talk to me during the mandatory meeting.) All of these problems are the types of problems with which you should be very familiar. You must copy questions followed by short answers or answer questions with questions embedded in your response. (I have to be able to extract the content from your response.) The better you are able to do these problems, the more prepared you will be to succeed in AP Chemistry. Chapter 1 2 3 4
Chapter End Question numbers 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49, 53, 57, 61, 65, 69, 73, 77, 81, 85, 89, 93 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49, 53, 57, 61, 65, 69, 73, 77, 81, 85, 89, 93, 97,101 31, 39, 47, 51, 59, 63, 67, 71, 75, 79, 83, 87, 91, 95, 105, 113, 117, 121, 125 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49, 53, 57, 61, 65, 69, 73, 77, 81, 85
Familiarize yourself with the Periodic Table. You should recognize the symbols/names and their position in the Periodic Table of the first 20 elements. Memorize the list of sixty familiar ions. You should be able to write the symbol of the ion given the name and vice versa.
Included in this packet are: (1) a list of ions by name, (2) a list of ions by grouping, (3) ion flash cards, and (4) four practice ions quizzes.
You should be able to complete the ions quiz in less than four minutes without trouble. (Basically you need to know your ions better than you know your multiplication table.)
There will be an ion quiz in the first week of school.
You may want to print out and cut the flashcards of the ions, and then arrange them by groups based on patterns you observe. (For example, which ones are made of only one element / several elements? Which ones have positive charges vs. negative charges? If it’s an ion from a single element, where are they on the periodic table? Which ones have several possible charges? How are they named, e.g. –ium, -ide, -ate, -ite, hypo-, per-, bi-, thio-, -ous, -ic?)
Learn every topic in Chapter 1 through 4 from different angles. These are all the concepts and skills that you are expected to have learned during your first year of chemistry and that you can do with ease. Additional summer review resources:
