CH 1013 Hey, Prof. H. What's on the Exam?

If I had limited time and could not study everything, what are the big concepts that I really should know for the final exam?

Chap. 1: nothing really, a little vocabulary a little classification

Chap. 2: Nomenclature (ionic and molecular, this subject will bite you in the butt all the time in other questions)

Chap. 3: Molecular vs Molar mass, Analysis for EF and MF

Chap. 4: Solution concentration, Solubility and precipitation prediction, Total vs Net Ionic equations, Acids and Bases, Oxidation / Reduction and the Activity Series

Chap. 5: Gas Laws applied to specific problems, Kinetic Molecular Theory

Chap. 6: Thermodynamics (E vs q vs w) Thermochemistry and the BCE, Hess's Law (direct and indirect)

Chap. 7: Story of the Bohr model, Story of the Quantum Mechanics model, Quantum numbers for orbitals and electrons in atoms and electronic configurations

Chap. 8: Effective nuclear charge and physical properties (rad., I and EA)

Chap. 9: Lewis structures, Bond Energies and Hess's Law

Chap: 10: VSEPR (Lewis Structure --> designation --> arrangement --> hybridization --> shape --> molecular polarity)

Oh, and by the way, the solution sets for the remaining chapters are up on the course webpage.

Oh yeah, you will see questions in the solution set for chapter 10 from sections that we did not cover. Don't freak out. They are there for completeness you will not be asked about that material.
