Chemistry Midterm Exam Review 2013
These are topics from a traditional 1st quarter. If you used the thematic approach with me this year, you
will notice that the topics are not in order of their presentation throughout the year. The final exam is
cumulative so this review will help you with reviewing the concepts and calculations. Notice that I have
connected chapters to each unit from your book. Don’t forget the importance of the review sheet.
