http://wine1.sb.fsu.edu/chm1045/notes/Periodic/Metals/Period06.htm (Florida State University)  - This page discusses the characteristic properties attributed to metal, non-metal, and metalloid elements.

http://wine1.sb.fsu.edu/chm1045/notes/Periodic/NMTrends/Period08.htm - Discusses the nonmetal elements of Groups VI, VII, and VIII.

 

 

            b.  Physical/Chemical Changes

            http://www.fordhamprep.com/gcurran/sho/sho/worksheets/worksht15b.htm.  On this worksheet, you must classify examples of various changes as either a physical change or a chemical change.  Answers are provided at the bottom of the worksheet.  For additional practice, click on 15c, 15d, 15e, 15f.

 

 

 

2.  Naming Substances

            a.  Elements

            http://www.colorado.edu/UCB/AcademicAffairs/ArtsSciences/physics/PhysicsInitiative/Physics2000/periodic_table/chemical_symbols.html - This page offers a list of common elements with their Latin name.

http://lrc-srvr.mps.ohio-state.edu/under/chemed/qbank/quiz/bank1.htm (Ohio State University, Undergraduate Chemistry Department).  Scroll down the test bank of quiz titles, and click on “Elemental Symbols” for an interactive quiz.

 

           

b.  Ions – Cations and anions

http://lrc-srvr.mps.ohio-state.edu/under/chemed/qbank/quiz/bank1.htm (Ohio State University, Undergraduate Chemistry Department).  Scroll down the test bank of quiz titles, and click on “Ions” for an interactive quiz.

http://wine1.sb.fsu.edu/chm1045/notes/Bonding/OxNum/Bond10.htm (Florida State University) - Discusses Oxidation Numbers of an element in elemental form, of a mono-atomic ion, of atoms in a binary compound, of atoms in an ionic compound containing a polyatomic anion.

 

            c.  Naming Compounds

 

           

1 = mono-

2 = di-

3 = tri-

4 = tetra-

5 = penta-

6 = hexa-

7 = hepta-

8 = octa-

9 = nona-

10 = deca-

c.  Naming Compounds, continued

http://www.prepchem.org/formulasandnamesofcpds.html (St. Joseph's Preparatory School, Philadelphia, PA). Provides a quiz-type review for writing the formulas of binary ionic and molecular compounds.

 

http://www.chem.vt.edu/RVGS/ACT/notes/Nomenclature.html (Chemistry Department, Viriginia Tech)  Contains table of prefixes, suffixes with meaning and examples.  Has tabular outline for applying rules to naming ionic and molecular compounds.

 

http://neon.cm.utexas.edu/academic/courses/Spring2002/CH301/McDevitt/Nomenclature.htm (University of Texas, Austin) - Has a table of general chemistry terms involved with the process of naming.  Discussion on binary, ternary compounds.  Very good.

 

http://gemini.tntech.edu/~snorthrup/chem111/tutorials/chap4c/start.html (Tennessee Tech ) - Has a very good interactive quiz on naming ionic compounds and binary molecular compounds.

 

http://www.odonel.k12.nf.ca/science/tut-nom/worksheet.html (O'Donel High School).  Has quiz worksheets for naming molecular and ionic compounds, including acids.  Click on the “Click here for Answers” link found at the bottom of each table.

The following pages belong to Fordham Preparatory School in New York.  Each is a quiz containing several problems, with the answers included at the bottom of the set of problems: Worksheet 54a, 54b.

 

 

3.  Elements/Compounds/Mixtures

            http://www.chem.vt.edu/RVGS/ACT/notes/Classification_of_Matter.html  (Roanoke Valley Governor's School).  Provides a tabular description.

            http://www.fordhamprep.com/gcurran/sho/sho/worksheets/worksht14a.htm  On this worksheet, you must classify examples of various substances as element, compound, solution (homogeneous mixture), and heterogeneous mixture.  Answers are provided at the bottom of the worksheet.  Click on 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f, 14g, 14h for additional worksheets.
