The test will cover the following
topics (here are the details);
- Atomic Theory and Structure (Chapters 2,
3, 6 and 7)
- Evidence for the atomic theory
(Section 2.2)
- Atomic masses; determination by
chemical and physical means (Section 2.2)
- Atomic number and mass number;
isotopes (Section 3.3)
- Electron energy levels: atomic
spectra, quantum numbers, atomic orbitals
- Periodic relationships including,
for example, atomic radii, ionization energies,
electron affinities, oxidation states
- Chemical Bonding (Chapters 8 and 9)
- Binding forces
- Types: ionic, covalent,
metallic, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals
forces
- Relationships to states,
structure, and properties of matter
- Polarity of bonds,
electronegativity
- Molecular models
- Lewis structures
- Valence Bond Theory:
hybridization of orbitals, resonance,
sigma and pi bonds
- VSEPR
- Geometry of molecules and ions, structural isomerism of
simple organic molecules and coordination
complexes; dipole moments
of molecules; relation of properties to structure
- States of Matter (Chapter 10)
- Gases
- Laws of ideal gases
- Equation of state
for an ideal gas
- Partial pressures
- Kinetic-molecular theory
- Interpretation of
ideal gas laws on the basis of
this theory
- Avogadro's
hypothesis and the mole concept
- Dependence of
kinetic energy of molecules on
temperature
- Deviations from
ideal gas laws
- Liquids and Solids
- Liquids and solids from
the kinetic-molecular viewpoint
- Phase
diagrams of one-component systems
- Changes of
state, including critical points and
triple points
- Structure of solids;
lattice energies
- Stoichiometry and Equations (Chapters 3
and 4)
- Ionic and molecular species
present in chemical systems: net ionic equations
- Balancing of equations including
those for redox reactions
No mention is made of Thermochemistry in the
above list but as you can see from the sample multiple choice examination there are some questions covering the content of
Chapter 5.
We have not covered these
topics and you will NOT be responsible for questions covering this material on the final.
