The student should be able to:
Fundamental Principles of Chemistry
1. Be able to state the Four Fundamental Chemical Principles including Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT, also called Particle view of matter), Conservation of Mass, Conservation of Energy and Coulomb's Law (I call it Coulombic Force, CF).
2. Be able to explain the two possible outcomes of particles colliding and the names we give each outcomes.
3. Explain Bohr's model of atom including location/charge of each subatomic particle), two types of electrons.
4. Explain energy of electron and its Coulombic force strength to nucleus as electrons are in higher and higher energy levels.
5. With a Periodic Table, be able to show where Metal/Nonmetal?/Semimetals? are located. Also, be able to state the energy and how valence electrons there are in an Element.
6. Be able to state the three different types of Intramolecular Forces.
7. Be able to explain how valence electrons are going to interact between a Metal element and a Non-metal element, name of bond and the "base unit" or particle that exist for that ionic compound (also be able to draw/label components).
8. Be able to explain how valence electrons are going to interact between two Metal element, name of the bond, and draw/label a picture of this metal.
9. Be able to explain how valence electrons are going to interact between 2 non-metal elements, name of bond, and the "base unit" or particle that exist for that molecular compound.
10. For molecular compounds, explain the difference between polar and non-polar molecules and what is the name of force between two polar compounds called.
2. Thermodynamics explains what questions concerning chemical reactions
5. Define the two factors that determines an Effective Collision (cause reactant to become products).
4. State the two questions (about chemical reactions) that Kinetics explains.
2. Thermodynamics explains what questions concerning chemical reactions
3. Be able to explain the difference between Exothermic reaction and Endothermic reactions.
Labskills including Significant Figures (Sig Fig)
1. Know the name, location and use of the safety equipment in the room.
2. Know the safety information from the Safety video.
3. Explain the difference from qualitative and quantitative observations.
4. Explain the difference between accuracy and precision.
5. Explain the significance of significant figures (sig figs) and two pieces of information every quantitative observation provides.
6. Determine the number of sig figs for any measure (the person is making the measurement)
7. Determine the sig fig from a quantitative observation someone else determined (you are looking at someone else's data)
8. Memorize metric system base units.
9. Memorize prefix and their symbol and conversion factors in the Metric system.
