Chemistry Part B Checklist You should be able to:  describe the structure of the periodic table – groups, periods, location of metals, non metals and metalloids(semi metals)  write electron configurations for elements and ions  define ion, anion, cation, monatomic ion, polyatomic ion  describe how an ion is formed  recall that metals form positive ions, while non metals form negative ions  recall the valence for common ions (as stated on “symbols to learn”)  write ionic formula  state the Law of Conservation of Mass  balance chemical equations  identify the salt formed in a neutralisation reaction  write the general word equation for an acid – metal reaction  write the general word equation for an acid – base reaction  write the general word equation for an acid – carbonate reaction  write a word equation and balanced chemical equation for the above reactions when given the reactants.  define exothermic and endothermic reactions and give an example of each.  classify a given reaction as acid + metal, acid + base, acid + carbonate, combustion, combination/synthesis or decomposition
