Test Hints

Want to know what to study; well here it is. Ideas directly off the test.
These are random thoughts that come to mind as I make up these tests, may or may not be a 100% but it should be darn close. Not the order in which the materisl was covered.
Book references are not necessarily yours. I will colour code page references for you. See RED Pages .

Unit I Atomic Theory / Aggagates

• know your electromagnetic spectrum
• energy equations, photon, quanta
• energy states, orbitals, s, p, d, f, order of
• remember the selection rule n>l>=/m/
• n, l, m, s what they mean and allowed numerical values
• electron configuration and energy level diagram, know the difference and similarities between the two.
• covalent bonding, ionic bonding coordinate covalent bonding, polar and nonpolar, Electronegativity difference of 1.7 is the pivot point
• lattice sites ==> central atom, coordination number, orbital hybridization
• types of attractive forces & where found, stong (ionic, covalent, metallic) and weak (van der Waals)
• network solids 1-2-3 dimensional with examples and properties
• properties of ionic, molecular, network, and metallic solids
• bond angles, VSPER theory
• molecular classification
• NOTE: when the sum of bonding and nonbonding pairs does not equal the coordination number double bonds are a strong possibility.
• Some Pages to check out
  • Chapter 1 ---> 11, 15, 19, 21
  • Chapter 2 ---> 32, 33, 35, 36, 41, 42, 54, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 65,
  • Chapter 3 ---> 73, 75, 77, 80, 81, 83, 87, 88, 92, 95, 102, 103, 105, 119
  • Chapter 4 ---> 127, 128, 132, 135, 136, 139, 140, 141, 145, 146, 149, 150, 151, 155 etc.

Make sure you look at all the Internet notes and sites that were recomended to you.

Test 1 Oct 11 2001

• know your alkanes, alkenes and alkynes
• the various types of isomers ==> structural and geometric, cis & trans
• functional groups and how to use them in nomenclature ==> writing formula from a structural picture and sketching a molecular diagram given the name.
• recognizing and completing reactions given the reactants with necessary catalysts.
• types of reactions: addition, elimination, substitution, combustion, halogenation, etc.
• Polymers
  • Condensation
  • Addition
  • Know examples of each
• Tests for unsaturated compounds Bayer's solution
• 20 multiple choice, (Make sure you have a pencil) 12 or so nomeclature questions
• reactions to complete using words and pictures
• written response questions
• make sure you know the following terms and concepts
  • all the function groups and how to name
  • crosslinkages and the type of polymers you get , thermal setting etc.
  • reaction of permanganate ion with and alkene
  • esterification and saponification
  • geometric isomers -->cis - trans
  • tests and reactions; what does what 1^o , 2 ^o & 3 ^o alcohols
  • types of bonds ( Sigma Pi ) and hybridization orbitals that form these bonds. Book has pictures of this
  • fatty acids example
  • types of reactions see given list
  • Pages to look at 174, 176, rest of the chapter looks at functional groups.
  • Sections 6-7, 6-8, 6-9, 6-10, 6-11, 6-12, 6-13, 6-14, 6-15, 6-16, 6-19, 6-20, 6-21, 6-22, 6-23, 6-24
