Congratulations on making the decision to take AP Chemistry! This course will move at a fast pace
and cover a substantial amount of material, starting with the first day of school.
So that we can spend more time on topics new to you in AP Chemistry, you are expected to be
familiar with answering questions and solving problems using the content covered in your first year
chemistry course. The attached review assignment covers first-year chemistry topics that will not be
taught in AP chemistry.
Copies of the periodic table and the metric prefixes you will be using in AP Chemistry are linked in
this assignment. Please note that this periodic table does not include element names. Charges of
monatomic ions and key polyatomic ions that need to be memorized are also included. You are
encouraged to make flashcards or use the Quizlet ions card deck below to begin learning these ions.
