Naming Ions and Compounds
- Ion names/symbols determined by element's position on the periodic table, and charge.
- Compound names/symbols determined by combining cation (positive) and anion (negative) elements in a way that results in a neutral charge.
Periodic Table Groups and Blocks
- Alkali Metals: Group 1 (except Hydrogen), atomic numbers 3, 11, 19, 37, 55, 87.
- Transition Metals: Groups 3-12.
- Inner Transition Metals: Lanthanides and Actinides.
- Lanthanides: Atomic numbers 57-71.
- Actinides: Atomic numbers 89-103.
- Metalloids/Semi-metals: Elements with properties between metals and nonmetals. (Specific elements are not listed, refer to periodic table)
- Other Metals: All elements to the left of the metalloids, and below the nonmetals, except the alkali metals and alkaline metals. (Specific elements are not listed, refer to periodic table).
- Other Nonmetals: All elements to the right of the metalloids, and above the nonmetals. (Specific elements are not listed, refer to periodic table).
- Halogens: Group 17.
- Noble Gases: Group 18.
- Gases at room temperature: Specific gases depend on the conditions (e.g., hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, etc., refer to specific elements.)
- Liquids at room temperature: Specific liquid depend on the conditions (e.g. Bromine, Mercury, etc., refer to specific elements.)
- Solids at room temperature: Most elements are solids at room temperature, ( refer to specific elements.)
- Man-made elements: Elements with atomic numbers greater than naturally occurring elements ( refer to specific elements, and table.)
- Metals: Generally found on the left and center of the periodic table.
- Nonmetals: Generally located on the right side of the periodic table.
Physical Changes vs. Chemical Changes
- Physical change: Change in form/state but not its composition (example, melting, boiling, crushing).
- Chemical change: A rearrangement of atoms resulting in a new substance (example, burning, rusting).
Phase Changes
- Boiling: Liquid to gas at its boiling point
- Evaporation: Liquid to gas at a temperature below its boiling point.
- Sublimation: Solid to gas without passing through the liquid state.
- Freezing: Liquid to solid
Periodic Table Organization
- Rows: Periods (horizontal) - number of energy levels.
- Columns: Groups (vertical) - similar properties.
Electron Configurations
- Coefficients (large numbers): Energy levels/shells.
- Letters (s, p, d, f): Subshells/orbitals containing specific types of electrons.
- Superscripts (small numbers): Number of electrons in each subshell.
Electron Occupancy
- s orbitals: hold up to 2 electrons.
- p orbitals: hold up to 6 electrons.
- d orbitals: hold up to 10 electrons.
- f orbitals: hold up to 14 electrons.
Atomic and Electron Structure
- Energy levels/shells: Can hold a maximum number of electrons based on level number.
Properties of Elements in the Same Group
- Elements in the same group have similar electron configurations in their outermost (valence) shells, resulting in similar properties.
Periodic Trends
- Atomic radius: Decreases across the period and increases down the group.
- Electronegativity: Increases across a period and decreases down a group.
- Ionization energy: Increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Isotopes, Ions, and Charges
- Isotope: Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Ion: An atom that has gained or lost electrons, thus carrying an electric charge.
- Determining ion charges: determined by the number of electrons gained or lost.
Valence Electrons and Subatomic Particles
- Valence electrons: Electrons in the outermost electron shell; determine an atom's reactivity.
- Atomic number: Number of protons.
- Mass number: Number of protons and neutrons.
- Calculating subatomic particles: Using atomic number, mass number and charges to calculate the number of protons, neutrons, electrons.
Atomic Structure Theory
- Dalton: Proposed a solid sphere model of the atom
- Thomson: Discovered the electron and proposed the "plum pudding" model.
- Rutherford: Discovered the nucleus and proposed a nuclear model.
- Bohr: Proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Mixtures
- Heterogeneous mixture: A mixture with visibly different components.
- Homogeneous mixture: A mixture where the components are uniformly distributed.
Significant Figures
- Multiplication/Division: Significant figures in the result are the least significant figures in the inputs.
- Addition/Subtraction: Decimals in result should be significant the number of least significant digits after the decimal in the inputs.
SI Units (and Metric Conversions)
- SI base units: Specific base units (e.g., meter, kilogram, second, etc.), refer to table.)
- Metric conversions: Applying appropriate conversion factors to convert units.
Lab Safety and Behavior
- Proper lab attire: Refer to specific regulations.

Bond Types
- Ionic bond: Transfer of electrons between metals and nonmetals.
- Covalent bond: Sharing of electrons usually between nonmetals.
Naming Compounds
- Binary ionic compounds: Name cations first, followed by anions.
- Covalent compounds: Use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element.
- Naming and formulas: Relate written names to chemical formulas and vice-versa.
- Roman numerals: Used to indicate charge of transition metal ions.
- Polyatomic ions: Ions with multiple atoms.
Polarity
- Polar bond: Unequal sharing of electrons between atoms; dipole moment.
- Nonpolar bond: Equal sharing of electrons between atoms; no dipole moment, for a molecule.
- Determining polarity: Consider electronegativity differences using the periodic table
Molecular Shapes (VSEPR)
- VSEPR: Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory: Describes molecular geometries based on repulsion between electron pairs.
- Molecular shapes: Shape descriptions e.g. linear, trigonal planar, bent, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal.
