CHEMISTRY MIDTERM EXAM REVIEW SHEET
The notes for the chapters included on this exam can be found on the wikispaces we use for our slass, under the title
“Chapter Resources.” The wikispaces website is: http://chemistrymcc.wikispaces.com/
Most of the notes for our class are in Powerpoint format. If you are unable to open the Powerpoint notes, you may use
your textbook and your notes from class to prepare, or access the notes using school computers during break, before or
after school.
