Topics Covered: 

• Molar Mass &Mole Ratios

• Percent Composition

• Limiting Reactants

• Hydrates

• Empirical & Molecular Formulas

Testing Tips:

Stoichiometry is the most BASIC foundation of all problems you will see on the test, and typically part A questions to a problem. This is EASY POINTS so double check your work.

Topics Covered: 

• Periodic Trends (& Exceptions)

  • Electron Affinity

  • Ionization Energy

• Coulomb's Law & Rules of Coulombic Attraction

• Atomic Structure

• Isotopes + Weighted Average Mass

• Energy, Wavelength, & the EM  Spectrum

• Emission Spectrum & Series

• Rules for Filling Orbitals

• Bohr's Postulates & Issues with His Model

• Para vs Diamagnetic Elements

Testing Tips:

Be able to explain rules and exceptions with specific language because you WILL be asked to do it.

Topics Covered: 

• Electron Configuration

• Quantum Numbers

• Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES) Charts

• Properties of & Reactions with Metals & Nonmetals

• Isoelectronic Series

• Ionic Radii Trends

Testing Tips:

You can get by with knowing basic periodic trends and the reasons behind them, but you cannot forget PES and how to identify different elements/ionization energies on the charts (common question).
