AP Chem Intro: (10:30 - 12:00 pm) Sample classnotes

1. Atomic Structure and Properties: Learn the structure of atoms (protons, neutrons, electrons), isotopes, and atomic mass. Understand electron configurations and their role in chemical behavior.
2. The Periodic Table and Trends: Study the organization of the periodic table and periodic trends like electronegativity, ionization energy, atomic radius, and their impact on element properties.
3. Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure: Explore types of chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, metallic) and molecular geometry (VSEPR theory). Understand how bonding affects properties like polarity and intermolecular forces.
4. Stoichiometry and Chemical Reactions: Master calculations involving moles, molar mass, and balancing chemical equations. Learn to use stoichiometry to predict reaction yields and limiting reactants.
5. States of Matter and Gas Laws: Understand the behavior of solids, liquids, and gases, focusing on gas laws (e.g., Boyle’s, Charles’s, Ideal Gas Law) and intermolecular forces affecting phase changes.
6. Acids, Bases, and Chemical Equilibrium: Study the properties of acids and bases (pH, pOH, Bronsted-Lowry definitions) and the basics of chemical equilibrium, including Le Chatelier’s principle and equilibrium constants.
