As a means of preparing you for Test #1 on September 23, I have extracted from the Learning Objectives handed out the first day of
class the topics that are eligible for Test #1. These are modified somewhat in that I have excluded some of the objectives from this
list. Notice in bold face type specific expectations regarding what I expect you to know in the way of memory sorts of things coming
into the test. Dr. Buckley

Consider
Chapter 1 – Chemistry
Distinguish between hypotheses, laws, theories, and models (1.3)
Define and apply the risk-benefit quotient (1.5)
13 - 18
Distinguish between applied research and basic research (1.7)
Identify chemical and physical properties and changes (1.8)
29 - 32
Define and apply the terms solid, liquid, gas, homogeneous mixture, heterogeneous mixture, elements
33 - 44
and compounds (1.9)
State the seven base SI units of measurement (1.10)
Convert measurements within the metric system (1.10) 19-28, 45- 52
You will be responsible for knowing the milli-, centi-, and kilo- prefixes and being able to use
them. If I ask for others I will give you the definition of the prefix.
Work with derived units such as volume and density (1.10 and 1.11)
53 - 64
Given formulas be able to convert between different temperature scales (1.12)
65 - 66
If you are asked to do this I will give you the formulas necessary.
Chapter 2 – Atoms
State the Law of Conservation of Mass (2.2)
State the Law of Definite Proportions (2.3)
State the Law of Multiple Proportions (2.4)
Identify the four basic premises of John Dalton’s Atomic Theory (2.4)
State the historical primary driving force behind arranging the periodic table the way it is (2.5)
Chapter 3 – Atomic Structure
Describe two of the electrical experiments and their conclusions regarding atomic structure (3.1)
Describe Rutherford’s experiment and the conclusions it leads to regarding atomic structure (3.4)
Write isotopic symbols and interpret isotopic symbols to determine numbers of protons and neutrons

Consider
in a nucleus (3.5)
Write electron configurations for elements in the first three periods (3.7)
19 – 26
Identify the number of valence electrons in an atom of an element (3.8)
Identify groups (families), periods, main group elements, transition elements, metals, nonmetals, alkali
27 - 32
metals, alkaline earth metals, and halogens on the periodic table (3.8)
Chapter 4 – Chemical Bonds
Identify isoelectronic species (4.1)
Draw Lewis symbols for individual atoms (4.2)
Use Lewis symbols to depict the formation of ionic compounds (4.3-4.4)
Write formulas for and name binary ionic compounds (4.5)
You will be given a periodic chart that includes the names.
Write Lewis structures for simple covalently bonded compounds (4.6)
Write names for simple covalently bonded compounds
Draw Lewis structures for simple polyatomic molecules (4.8)
Know the formulas, charges, and names of a select group (to be distributed) of polyatomic ions (4.9)
Your list of polyatomic ions includes: ammonium (NH4+), hydroxide (OH-), nitrate (NO3-),
sulfate (SO42-), and phosphate (PO43-)
Use polyatomic ions to write formulas of and names of compounds (4.9)
If you need polyatomic ions other than those you are responsible for in the line above I will give
you the name, formula, and charge for the polyatomic ion.
Draw Lewis structures for more complicated molecules and ions (4.10 – 4.11)
