AP CHEMISTRY SUMMER PACKET 2017 Welcome to 2017-2018 AP Chemistry! This packet is intended to review the basic concepts covered in your first chemistry class. Write your answers in the packet. If the questions contain a problem to solve , you must show the work to receive full credit. Remember the little things, like , rounding to correct sig. figs., units, and dimensional analysis. This completed packet is due the first day of class. It is your first graded assignment. We will have an “introductory” quiz during the first few days of class on the material in the packet, concentrating on math skills and sig figs. The purpose of this packet is not to punish you or ruin your summer; we have quite a bit of material to study in AP Chemistry, and because of the AP exam schedule, we essentially have three marking periods to get all of our work done. This packet will keep the “chemistry stuff” in your brain close to the surface, and keep your math skills sharp. Use any outside source you want, but do your own work. My suggestion is to work on it mid to late August while you are preparing to get back into school mode ☺ . Looking forward to a great summer, and further forward to a great year in AP Chem! Feel free to email me at the Immaculate address ([lhall@myimmaculatehs.org](lhall@myimmaculatehs.org) ) . I will check mail regularly over the summer. Mr. Hall This Periodic Table is the one that i s us ed during an AP Exam . Notice name as you are expected to get familiar with them that it does not include the elements’and their correct symbols .
