Summer Assignment
This assignment is mandatory. The purpose of this assignment is to solidify certain concepts
in your head before we begin the year. Not doing this assignment will be perceived as a lack
of dedication to the class.
All of this material was covered in your Pre-IB Chemistry semester, so it should be a review.
The terminology may be different, but welcome to college-level Chemistry.
Keep your notebook from Pre-IB Chemistry. Many of the labs & assignments will help you
throughout the coming year. We also gave you some great resources during this class.
If you have questions about any of the assignments, email me during the summer, and I will
reply as soon as possible. My email address is: [email protected]
The assignment is in 2 parts:
o Part 1: Memorization  You will have a quiz on this on Day 1.
o Part 2: Book Work  You will have a test on this material
sometime during the first week of the school year.
Textbook:
Zumdahl, Steven, et al. (2014) Chemistry 9th ed. Stamford, CT:
Cengage Learning. ISBN-13: 978-1-113-61110-3
I prefer the AP edition for the additional end of chapter questions.
The book may be purchased from the school for $145. Please pay the financial
office, and bring your receipt to Mr. Evans (B102) for your book. You may be able
to find some online, but they will most likely be more expensive as this is a brand
new book.
Part 1: Memorization
 Memorize the ions on the next page: Many of these you should already know. Refresh
yourself on charges of each major group of the periodic table. Be able to name and write
formulas.
Part 2: Book Work – A Review of Year One
 If you notice, the assignment is broken up into days for you as a suggestion. How you choose
to spread out these days is up to you, but you should give yourself at least a week to complete
the assignment so that you do not go into Chemistry overload just a few days before school
resumes. 
 This assignment will be collected the first day of class. After that day 50% credit will be
awarded. No late assignments will be accepted past the first week of school.
 Each suggested day, you have a topic, pages to read, and problems to work out.
o The readings will help refresh your memory, and help you re-learn the material.
o The problems assigned to you refer to problems listed at the end of each chapter.
o Show all work for mathematical problems. All other problems should be answered in
complete sentences and complete thoughts.
o Answers to some of the assigned problems can be found in the back of your textbook.
The problems that have answers have their numbers printed in blue in your textbook.
Do refer to these answers to make sure you are doing your work correctly, but do not
simply copy the answers.
 You will have a test on this material sometime during the first week of school. Fear not! We
will review the material in class prior to the test.
