AP Chemistry ­ Summer Assignment ​
2015­2016 Textbook : ​
Chemistry : The Central Science​
(11th edition, 2007) by Brown, LeMay and Bursten Instructor :​
Mr. Cole ​
Email : ​
[email protected] Welcome to AP Chemistry! This course is designed for students who expect to have Chemistry as a requirement for their program of study in college and who seek either college credit or to simply become better prepared. The goal of the summer assignment is to review requisite skills and become familiar with the first set of topics & concepts in ​
chapters 2 & 6 that we will encounter in September. The summer assignment is composed of 6 parts and will enable you to ​
review, learn, practice, and ​
apply important concepts of Atomic Theory. • Part I (​
Optional​
) : A review of dimensional analysis and significant figures from chapter one. • Part II : Introduction to the atom (​
chapter 2​
) • Part III : Electronic structure of atoms (​
chapter 6​
) • Part IV : Application Article • Part V : Self Assessment • Part VI : Quiz on Parts II, III, IV (​
upon our return in September​
) Part I​
: (​
Optional​
)​
: ​
Read sections 1.4 through 1.6 and complete the following problems. Ch. 1 Textbook Problems : 1.35, 1.37, 1.39, 1.41, 1.43, 1.45, 1.47, 1.49 Part II : Read chapter 2 sections 2.1 ­ 2.4 and reinforce the concepts by viewing the following supplemental concept building video tutorials of the selected topics from the chapter. Khan Academy : www.khanacademy.org Select : Chemistry Select : Atoms molecules and ions Select : Introduction to the atom View the following : • Introduction to the Atom ­ (21 min) • Atomic Number, Mass Number, and Isotopes ­ (10 min) • Atomic Weight and Atomic Mass ­ (9 min) • Atomic Mass ­ (10 min) Ch. 2 Textbook Problems : 2.2, 2.4, 2.9, 2.11, 2.13, 2.15, 2.24, 2.25, 2.26, 2.29, 2.31 (These problems represent a portion of the chapter 2 problem set. The remainder will be completed upon our return in September.) Part II should be completed by the end of July.​
Note​
: Do not proceed to Part III until the Ch.2 textbook problems have been attempted. Part III ​
: Read chapter 6 and reinforce the concepts by viewing the following supplemental concept building video tutorials of the selected topics from the chapter. Khan Academy : www.khanacademy.org Select : Chemistry Select : Electronic structure of atoms Select : Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom View the following : • Photoelectric effect ­ (10 min) • Bohr model energy levels ­ (10 min) • Absorption and emission ­ ( 11 min) • Emission spectrum of hydrogen ­ (11 min) Ch. 6 Textbook Problems : 6.2 ­ 6.5, 6.8, 6.10, 6.13, 6.14, 6.24, 6.31, 6.35 (These problems also represent a portion of the chapter 6 problem set. The remainder will be completed upon our return in September.) Part IV​
: Application Article ­ ​
Atomic Theory This short application article will illustrate the relevance and application of selected concepts from chapters 2 & 6 outside the context of an exam or classroom. Because the atom Carbon has a special “​
ability​
“, NASA is looking for it …. on Mars. NASA also has important reasons and methods in looking for “​
different kinds” of Carbon. This application article will be shared with you on Google docs. The article is titled “​
Follow The Carbon​
” and was taken from the chemistry periodical “​
ChemMatters”​
(​
Bleacher, L. (2008, February). Follow The Carbon. ChemMatters. 17­19 ). Part V : A brief self assessment of the summer assignment concepts and answer key will be shared with you on Google docs. It is composed of a short collection of practice AP Chemistry test questions involving the Atomic Theory concepts you have studied in chapters 2 & 6. Parts III, IV, & V should be completed by the end of August​
. Part VI​
: Summer assignment quiz on Parts II, III & IV upon our return to school in September. Summer Concept Checklist​
