Evaluation exam contents 2014/15

FIRST EVALUATION


Unit 0 - Formulation
  • Must have at least 7 correct

Unit 1 - The structure of matter
  • Describe the atomic models of Dalton, Rutherford and Bohr.
  • Explain Rutherfords experiment and conclusions.
  • Explain Bohrs atomic model and how it explains atomic spectra.
  • Explain why different elements have different atomic spectra.
  • State how the periodic table is organised.
  • Describe and explain atomic radius across a period and down a group.
  • Define "electronegativity".
  • Describe the pattern in electronegativity and be able to order elements in terms of it. 
  • Use electronegativity values to assign the types of bonding found between atoms.
  • Describe ionic, covalent (simple molecular and giant covalent) and metallic bonding.
  • State properties of each bonding type.
  • Describe an investigation to work out the type of bonding present in an uknown substance.
  • State the 3 types of intermolecular forces.
  • State the IMF´s present in molecules according to the elements present in them.
  • Relate IMF´s to melting and boiling points.

Unit 2 - Kinetic theory and ideal gases
  • Describe the particle models for a solid, liquid and gas.
  • State and describe kinetic theory in terms of the changing kinetic energy of particles, overcoming IMF´s and changing states of matter.
  • State the assumptions made about ideal gases.
  • State the name, sketch a graph, state the relationship (and constant variable) and the equation for the Boyle-Marriotte, Gay Lussac and Charles´ Law.
  • State the combined gas equation.
  • State the ideal gas equation and know the units used.
  • Use all ideal gas laws to solve mathematical and theoretical problems.

SECOND EVALUATION (includes minimum contents of 1st evaluation)

  • Molarity, molality and molar fraction.
  • Vapour pressure (Raolt´s Law).
  • Freezing point depression.
  • Boiling point elevation.
  • Osmotic pressure.

Unit 4 - Stoichiometry

  • Convert between moles and mass.
  • Identify limiting and excess reactants.
  • Calculate amounts of reactants and products.
  • Calculate percentage yields.
  • Apply information on gases and solutions to stoichiometric problems.
