Topic Breakdown

Scientific Investigation - 20% Chapter: 1

CH.1 Investigate and understand that experiments in which variables are measured, analyzed and evaluated, produce observations and verifiable data. Key concepts:

designated laboratory techniques;

safe use of chemicals and equipment;

proper response to emergency situations;

multiple variables manipulated with repeated trials;

accurate recording, organizing, and analysis of data through repeated trials;

mathematical and procedural error analysis; and

mathematical manipulations (SI units, scientific notation, linear equations, graphing, ratio and proportion, significant digits, dimensional analysis use of scientific calculator).

Atomic Structure & Periodic Relationship - 16% Chapters:3/4/5

CH.2 Investigate and understand that the placement of the elements on the periodic table is a function of their atomic structure. The periodic table is a tool used for investigation of periodic trends. Key concepts:

mass/atomic number;

isotopes/half-lives/nuclear particles;

particle/mass charge;

families/groups;

series/periods;

trends/patterns: atomic/nuclear radii, electronegativity, shielding effect;

electronic configuration/oxidation numbers

chemical/physical properties; and historical quantum models.

Nomenclature, Chemical Formulas & Reactions - 32% Chapters: 7/8/9

CH.3 Investigate and understnad how conservation of energy and matter is expressed in chemical formulas and balanced equations. Key concepts:

nomenclature;

balancing chemical equations;

writing chemical formulas (molecular, structural, empirical, and Lewis diagrams);

bonding types (ionic, covalent);

reaction types (synthesis, decomposition, single and double replacement, oxidation-reduction, neutralization, nuclear, exothermic and endothermic, spontaneous/non-spontaneous, dissociation ionization; physical and chemical equilibrium); and

reaction rates and kinetics: activation energy, catalysis, degree of randomness.

Molar Relationships - 16% Chapters: 10/11/15/18/19

CH.4 Investigate and understand that quantities in a chemical reaction are based on molar relationships. Key concepts:

Avagadro's principle, molar volume;

stoichiometric relationships;

solution concentrations;

chemical equilibrium; and

acid/base theory: strong/weak electrolytes, dissociation/ionization (pH, pOH) and titration.

Phases of Matter & Kinetic Molecular Theory - 16% Chapters: 12/13/14/15

CH.4 Investigate and understand that quantities in a chemical reaction are based on molar relationships Key concepts:

partial pressure; and

gas laws.

CH.5 Investigate and understand that the phases of matter are explained by Kinetic theory and forces of attraction between particles. Key concepts:

pressure, temperature, and volume;

vapor pressure;

partial pressures;

phase changes;

molar heats of fusion and vaporization;

specific heat capacity;

solutions; and

colligative properties.
