Atoms Test: How to Prepare

There will be an atomic structure/chemical bonding/periodic table Friday March 7, 2014

We have been covering a lot of new information and you will need to study for this test for sure. If you have missed some days, I advise you to come in and get some help from me before school asap.

Here are some of the resources you should use to study for the test as well as a list of objectives, things you should be able to do after studying your notes.

1.Atom notes and summaries: Identify the names and properties of the three major subatomic particles. Use a Bohr model to determine the number of valence electrons in an atom. Be able to explain the significance of the valence electrons.

2. Your Colored Periodic Table: Periodic table notes and summaries: Identify major trends on the periodic table e.g.  where the metals and non-metals are found;  the names and locations of the most reactive (alkali metals and alkali earth metals and halogens) and least reactive families of elements (noble gases), how the table is organized by atomic number, periods (rows) and families (columns)  http://www.learner.org/interactives/periodic/groups.html

3. Your atom packet: Be able to determine the numbers of protons electrons, neutrons in a neutral atom using the periodic table, be able to draw a Bohr diagram for a specific element, Be able to draw Lewis Dot structures for specific elements. Be able to differentiate between an ionic bond and a covalent bond. There may be an opportunity for extra credit if you know how to use Lewis dot structures to draw a lewis dot structure for a molecule such as water, CO2, NaCl. You do not need to know what oxidation numbers and the words cation and anion mean, but you do need to know what an ion is and why they form.

5. The video on chemical Bonding: Be able to identify elements that are likely to form ionic bonds vs covalent bonds. be able to identify a bond as ionic or covalent. (2.27)

6. The powerpoint on Bohr Diagrams: be able to draw a bohr diagram correctly for one of the first twenty elements

7. The powerpoint on Chemical Bonds and your notes on chemical bonds: Be able to distinguish between ionic and covalent bonds. Know which types of elements will form covalent vs ionic bonds. (2.27)

8. Your notes on chemical bonds: same as above

9. Your Inspiration mind map of atoms. Save it to Edmodo when you are done. Here is a copy of mine

10 Vocabulary Review Sheet: You can print this out at home or I will have copies in class. The answers to this sheet are in the form of a quiz on your Edmodo account. Do the one that says copy #1 (the most recent one)

 

Feeling Ready for the test and want to learn some more?

Watch these videos: For extra credit, you can write a set of Cornell notes for any of them. 

Water properties and Polar Covalent Bonds and hydrogen bonds

Radioactivity

What is the shape of molecules

The uncertainty of the location of electrons

How small is an atom?
