Honors Chemistry Summer Assignment
Part 1: Go to www.ck12.or/flexbook
Search for CK-12 Chemistry – Second Edition
You can either download the relevant chapters or view from the site
Read and outline the first 4 chapters
 Chapter 1 – Introduction to Chemistry
 Chapter 2 – Measurement in Chemistry
 Chapter 3 – Matter and Energy
 Chapter 4 – The Atomic Theory
Answer the “Review Questions” at the end of each section.
You will turn in your Chapter outlines and answers to the review questions on the FIRST DAY OF
SCHOOL. We will spend the first 2 weeks going over questions from the summer assignment and
take a test covering the material at the beginning of the third week of school.
Part 2: Make flashcards for memorization
Use index cards! You will need flash cards of the following:
i.
Metric units
ii.
Element names and symbols
iii.
Polyatomic ions
In this packet you will see what needs to be on the flashcards. For elements and
ions, put the symbol on one side and the name on the other. Have only one element
or ion per card.
You will be given a grade for your flashcards on the FIST DAY OF CLASS. There will be an
element/ion/metric unit quiz during the second week of school.
If you have any questions, please email me.

Polyatomic Ion Flashcards
DIRECTIONS: Write the polyatomic ion symbol on one side and the name on the other.
Example:
CN-
cyanide
Polyatomic ions are groups of multiple atoms that have a charge (positive or negative). The
symbols shown below tell you what elements are in the ion, how many atoms of each, and the
charge. For example, NH4+, contains a nitrogen atoms, four hydrogen atoms and the entire group
has a charge of +1.
Memorization Hints
If you have two ions with similar names and the only difference is the number of oxygen atoms in
your ion:
-ite means smaller number of O
-ate means larger number of O
Hypo- (smallest) and per- (largest) are used if there are four ions with similar names and different
number of oxygen.
