AP Chemistry Summer Assignment
Welcome to college chemistry!
Congratulations on making the decision to take one of the most challenging college-level
courses. Many would-be engineers and doctors change their careers because of the difficulty of
taking this course while in college. By taking college chemistry in high school, you could earn
college credit for the course (so you don’t have it take it in college). At a minimum, you will
prepare yourself very well for chemistry in college so you CAN get that elusive “A” in college
chemistry and become whatever you want to be!
I love teaching students college level chemistry! I am an ex-chemical engineer and have been
teaching at Cooper High School since the doors were opened way back in 2008. I work very
hard to help you meet your goals. I promise to provide you with appropriate, focused materials
and help you build skills to do your best on the AP chemistry exam next May. I am here to help
you.
The folks that run the AP program (College Board), say you will need to study 5-10 hours per
week outside of class to be successful. Be assured that I work very hard to provide materials that
focus you on what’s the most important. This should minimize that time requirement and allow
us to “do more with less”. But, no doubt about it, you will need to study outside of class.
To be honest, I dislike summer assignments. However, I feel that it is unfair for me to expect you
to be able to name chemical compounds on Day Two without providing you with practice. Much
(or hopefully all) of the naming you have already learned in honors chemistry. But you should
refresh yourself for the naming quiz on Day Two. All of this information can be found at
www.mrwestfieldsclass.yolasite.com. (Login: westfield, password: 5jags5). Be sure to lower
case letters for Login. There are also naming practice videos on the website if you want more
help
Assignment:
Things to buy:

Lab Notebook: Lab Notebook 100 Carbonless Pages Spiral Bound; by Barbakam
(Author) (about $15 on Amazon)

Classroom Materials: 3” 3-ring binder, paper, scientific calculator, writing
utensils.

Note: I will be analyzing new AP study guides over the summer as new ones are
being developed. Over the course of the school year, I will ask you to purchase
one that I believe is the best.
1
Things to Study and Practice:

Study and complete the practice naming work below. There will be a quiz on the second
day of school. The quiz will count as your first quiz grade.

After the quiz, you will show me that you completed AT LEAST the three practice
quizzes and self-assed them. This will be your first homework grade.
Again, welcome to our class. Please contact me at daryl.westfield@boone.kyschools.us if you
have any questions. During the school year, I will check this e-mail address regularly. During the
summer, I plan on not checking e-mail often.

Nomenclature (Naming) Practice
Instructions: Use the material provided below to review naming.
Notes:
1. This is for you to practice. There’s nothing to turn in to me. After the quiz, you will show
me that you completed and self-assessed at LEAST the three Practices Quizzes at the end
and self-assessed your work.
2. There will be a quiz on the second day of school. You will have a periodic table only as a
reference. Use only the periodic table provided for practice.
3. This is for a REVIEW and will not tell you how to name. If you need help to understand
any of this, you can go to my website or use other materials to help. You can also send
me an email. If you have specific questions.

Polyatomic Ion List for AP Chemistry
Some Rules:
 -ite is one less oxygen than the –ate {ex: nitrate (NO3-) to nitrite (NO2-)}
 Hypo- is one less oxygen than the –ite {ex: chlorite (ClO2-) to hypochlorite (ClO-)}
 Per- is one more oxygen than the –ate {ex: chlorate (ClO3-) to perchlorate (ClO4-)}
 Hydrogen can be added to -2 or -3 ions to make a “new ion” {ex: H2PO4 – is dihydrogen
phosphate (note the – charge went up 1 for each H+ added)}
Strategy: Learn the bold ions below first. They are the most important. Then, learn the others.
Use the Rules above to help. Make flashcards and practice a few minutes daily until you get
these!
+1
ammonium, NH4+
-1
acetate, C2H3O2-, or CH3COO chlorate, ClO3cyanide, CNhydrogen carbonate, HCO3- (also called bicarbonate)
hydroxide, OHhypochlorite, ClOnitrate, NO3nitrite, NO2permanganate, MnO4perchlorate, ClO4-2
carbonate, CO3 -2
chromate, CrO4 -2
dichromate, Cr2O7 -2
peroxide, O2 -2
sulfate, SO4 -2
sulfite, SO3 -2
-3
phosphate, PO4 -3
phosphite, PO3 -3

Periodic Table and Ionic Charges
You need to know:
1. Group 1A ions always have a +1 charge (i.e. Li+)
2. Group 2A ions have a +2 charge (i.e. Ca2+
3. Group 3A ions typical have a +3 charge (i.e. Al3+)
4. Group 4A ions vary
5. Group 5A ions typically have a -3 charge (i.e. N3-)
6. Group 6A ions typically have a -2 charge (i.e. O2-)
7. Group 7A ions typically have a -1 charge (i.e. Cl-)
8. Noble gases only form ions in extreme cases
9. Transitions elements typically have variable charge, however you need to know these
fixed transition element ion charges:
a. Silver ion Ag+
b. Zinc ion Zn2+
c. Cadmium ion Cd2+
