Document Summary

Chapters 1-9 (all sections); chapter 10 (section 10. 2 tables 10. 1 and 10. 2). As a chem 6a student, you should be able to . Interpret prefixes for units of measure and express numbers in scientific notation; analyses in solving problems); Interpret the number of significant figures in a measurement and round-off numbers correctly in related calculations: distinguish between accuracy and precision. Matter and energy: describe the states of matter, distinguish between elements, compounds, and mixtures, as well as physical and chemical properties and changes. Light meets matter: early quantum theory: describe the wave properties (c speed of light, n frequency, l wavelength, and amplitude) of electromagnetic radiation and how these properties are related to energy (e) of an electromagnetic wave. Periodic trends: predict the periodic trends in effective nuclear charge (zeff), atomic and ionic radius, ionization energies (ie1, ie2, etc. ), and electron affinities (ea1, ea2, etc: describe the inert-pair effect, identify the pairs of elements that exhibit a diagonal relationship.
