Are any of these on the AP Chem exam?

<p>Our teacher put a lot of crap into our curriculum, so just want to know if these are on the exams</p>

<ol>
<li>drawing pi or sigma bonds</li>
<li>naming complex coordinates</li>
<li>Henry's law</li>
<li>Beer's law</li>
<li>Formal Charges</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li><p>OBVIOUSLY, pi and sigma bonds are basically just single and double bonds. this is the very basics of chemical bonding, which is VERY important, as it can explain a lot of reasons (bond strengths)</p></li>
<li><p>Never even heard of this</p></li>
<li><p>No, never went over this</p></li>
<li><p>Not important</p></li>
</ol>

<p>The important equations, which you should also understand conceptually, should be found in the equation sheet.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>But do you actually have to draw them? I am not talking about drawing molecular geometry of lewis structures, I am talking about sigma and pi hybridization bonds</p>

<p>What about Redox Titrations?</p>

<ol>
<li>drawing pi or sigma bonds<—yes, its not too bad</li>
<li>naming complex coordinates<– definitely yes</li>
<li>Henry’s law<—no</li>
<li>Beer’s law<— it was on a frq but you simply drew data from the graph</li>
<li>Formal Charges<—no, and its weird that it isnt on it</li>
</ol>

<p>

</p>

<p>We seriously have to draw those ugly bonding and know how to name those really annoying complx coordinate? Those damn ligands?</p>

<p>You don’t have to draw them.</p>

<p>There’s usually 1-2 MC on them.</p>

<p>so i took the exam last year and this is what i think…</p>

<ol>
<li>drawing pi or sigma bonds<----absolutely</li>
<li>naming complex coordinates<----yes, come on.</li>
<li>Henry’s law<—idts.</li>
<li>Beer’s law<—maybe…</li>
<li>Formal Charges<----yes, know this.</li>
</ol>

<p>A lot of different answers here…but so far I can rule out henry’s law</p>

<ol>
<li>drawing pi or sigma bonds <- Probably not that weird hamburger looking thing but at least know what they are, and it’s only one fact so just know it</li>
<li>naming complex coordinates <-Yes (I need to go learn this by Tuesday :P)</li>
<li>Henry’s law <- Never heard of it so most likely no (My AP Chem teacher is AMAZING :P)</li>
<li>Beer’s law < - Same deal as 3</li>
<li>Formal Charges <- Not TECHNICALLY if you memorize EVERY STRUCTURE of anything, but it makes drawing structures a whole lot easier</li>
</ol>

<p>im pretty sure sprevite and i have been saying all the same answers. And the reason why i said formal charge isnt on there is because it hasnt appeared on past frqs. but its probably really likely that it will pop up in mc</p>

<p>Omg what are naming complex coordinates???</p>

<p>Henry’s law is so basic, how can it NOT be on there??</p>

<p>ummm, so redox titrations is a possibility…it’s hard to rule out anything on chem, to be honest with you. like, it might be a MCQ but probably not a FRQ. but i got thrown a curveball with one of the FRQ’s last year that was about laboratory procedure [yeah, i know] and i wasn’t sure…whatever, i got a four anyway. i just wish i had actually prepared instead of just going in cold.</p>

<p>what are these complex coordinates?</p>

<p><em>bump</em></p>

<p>what are complex coordinates??</p>

<p>just a central metal cation with ligands attached.
I have never seen a multiple choice question on naming them but I have seen them in MC questions</p>

<p>You know what, drawing pi and sigma bonds are not on the exam either. I just took 2008 and there was nothing on them.</p>

<p>No, but there might be something in the FRQ about them.</p>

<p>About drawign them? Noteven on PR</p>

<p>Ohhhhh drawing, yeah I don’t think drawing will be on it.</p>
