Evaluation: In order to receive credit for this unit and test permission you must:
Complete and have a teacher mark all laboratory/investigation activities.
Take notes on each section
Complete Unit Review- self test
Once the above is complete, get test permission from a teacher to write A2 Quiz and Written Response (In assessment centre)
Ensure that you read all the information from the textbook. Read the material and take notes as you see fit.
Complete learning activities as you navigate through this digital learning guide
Pay attention to bold terms
Do as many of the review questions from the textbook as you find necessary to learn the material. These review questions area good indicator of how well you understand the materials. The Check and Reflects and Section Reviews are an excellent way to test your understanding of the material you have studied.
5. Attend the optional seminars for this topic. Please refer to the seminar schedule on D2L.
When you have completed the learning activities embedded throughout this digital learning guide, and readings for this section (A2.1- A2.5) you will be able to:
Explain, using the periodic table, how and why elements combine to form compounds in specific ratios
Explain the importance of and need for the IUPAC system of naming compounds in terms of the work that scientists do and the need to communicate clearly and precisely
Predict formulas and write names for ionic and molecular compounds and common acids
Classify ionic and molecular compounds, acids, and bases on the basis of these properties: conductivity, pH, solubility, and state
Predict whether an ionic compound is soluble in water, using a solubility chart
Relate the molecular structure of simple substances to their properties
Outline the issues related to personal and societal uses of potentially toxic or hazardous compounds
Identify examples of chemistry-based careers in your community.
