In order to ensure the best start for everyone, I have prepared a summer assignment that reviews basic chemistry concepts that you learned in your first year of Chemistry. You will quickly notice that things are different from what they were in Honors Chemistry. Material that you were not asked to memorize, you now have to know without reference material.  \nThis is a college-level course and has different expectations from honors classes. Plan ahead. Find a study group, seek help when needed, and look for resources (test prep guides, videos, webpages) to be successful.  \nYour goal should be to complete the summer assignment and ask your teacher for help when needed.  \nSpread out the summer assignment. DO NOT try to complete it all in the final week of the summer. Chemistry takes time to process and grasp at a level necessary for success in AP Chemistry. All research on human memory shows us that frequent, short periods of study, spread over long periods of time, will produce much greater retention than long periods of study completed in a short period of time.  \nThe course will move on from the initial chemistry review into the eight AP Chemistry Units: Atomic Structure and Properties, Compound Structure and Properties, Chemical Reactions, Kinetics, Thermochemistry, Equilibrium, Acids and Bases, and Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry. The topics will build upon your knowledge from your first-year chemistry class and cover more application and detail.  \nThis summer assignment will not be collected. However, you will have a test within the first two weeks of school on items that are to be memorized and the content from this summer review assignment (Tasks 1-5).  \nTask 1: Review material from sophomore/junior chemistry that was most challenging  \nOnline chemistry tutorial websites and videos to review content that you may have forgotten.  \n● Khan Academy videos  \n●  Bozeman Science AP Chemistry  \n● YouTube-Tyler DeWitt AP Chemistry Resources Playlist  \n● YouTube-Crash Course Chemistry-Chemistry Playlist  \n●  [https://chemfiesta.org](https://chemfiesta.org)  \n● [www.chemteam.info](www.chemteam.info)  \n● Any others that you find helpful  \nTask 2: Memorize the names of the elements and their corresponding symbols, phases (solid, liquid, gas), and subscripts, if applicable.  \n● You should memorize the “Names and Symbols of Common Elements & Their Phases” list at end of this document. While the AP exam will never require that you name an element, knowing the elements’ symbols will increase your fluency in the language of chemistry and make life easier.  \n● Many of these elements you will already know.  \n● Making flashcards or using Quizlet will be helpful. Many of these already exist on Quizlet.  \n● It’s important that you know these elements because the periodic table you are provided in AP Chem has only the symbols and not the names of the elements.  \n● There are many memorization tools to help you remember the diatomic elements (Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2, and F2):  \n○ Brinclhof (sounds like brinckle-hof)  \n○ H NO, halogens  \n○ They make a 7 on the periodic table  \n○ Cleveland Browns IN Hall Of Fame.  \nTask 3: Memorize the ionic charges of the monatomic ions  \n1. Ionic Charge by Location on the Periodic Table  \nMost elements form normal monatomic ions in a clear and easy-to-remember pattern on the periodic table. Their place on the periodic table suggests the charge on the ion, since the neutral atom gains or loses a predictable number of electrons in order to obtain a noble gas configuration. This was a focus in first-year chemistry, so if you are unsure what this means, get help BEFORE the start of the year.  \na. All Group 1 metals lose one electron to form an ion with a 1+ charge  \nb. All Group 2 metals lose two electrons to form an ion with a 2+ charge  \nc. Group 13 metals lose three electrons to form an ion with a 3+ charge  \nd. All Group 17 nonmetals gain one electron to form","cbCaicaNTSb00ogd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicaNTSb00ogd","pdf",877730,23,"English","# Overview\n# Study Plan and Expectations\n# Test Information\n# Task 1: Review Challenging Chemistry Concepts\n# Task 2: Memorize Elements, Symbols, Phases, and Subscripts\n# Task 3: Memorize Ionic Charges of Monatomic Ions\n## Group Trends (1+, 2+, 3+, 1-, 2-, 3-)\n## Naming Cations vs Anions\n## Transition Metals and Roman Numerals\n# Task 4: Memorize Polyatomic Ions (Names, Formulas, Charges)","[{\"question\":\"When will the assessment on the summer assignment happen?\",\"answer\":\"There is a test within the first two weeks of school.
