Review Material

I thought it would be helpful if I added chem topics that I feel you should be familiar with for the OAC level but may be rusty at and need some tutoring to get you back on board.
This list will be updated throughout the semester to assist those of you who need review material.

1. Nomenclature at Boise State How to name compounds courtesy of Boise State, Idaho
   When you go to this site you should see a menu, go to the site Naming Inorganic Compounds (there are two of them, either one is fine).
2. How to Balance Equations courtesy of Ohio State.
3. Practice Balancing Equations courtesy the Chembalancer
4. 40 Equations to Balance courtesy of the Chemistry Coach.
   Approach this site as a homework exercise. Try balancing the equations on paper, then check your answers. Any problems, just bring them to class.
5. Chemical Reactions: An Introduction courtesy of the University of Illonios.
   Divided into several parts but only the first three (and examples which are listed last) are relavent to you; they are
   
   • What a reaction tells you
   • Types of reactions
   • Balancing chemical equations
   • and examples: Sample problems but again stop at the redox examples.

You can go to a series of chemistry sites that may also be useful. If you have the time look throught them for relevant material; the more you read the better for you.

Notes

Note are available from different sites. I will give you an introductory page then tell you which topics to get your notes from. This way I'm not continuously generating individual links.

1. Frostburg State, Antoine,

   Chemistry 101 Lecture Series
   Each individual lesson has Learning Objectives which outlines what you are responsible for.This becomes an inclusive guide for you.
   • Atoms & Ions Early atomic theory (pre-quantum) also has nomenclature
   • The quantum theory
   • Electrons in atoms
   • The periodic table
