<p>I took honors chem a year ago but didn't learn much. Im going into ap chem in a few days and am studying for it. Which of the following topics should I know most of? Can I omit any?</p>
<p>The Periodic Table
Nuclear Chemistry
Chemical Bonding
Liquids and Solids
Gases
Solutions
Stoichiometry
Chemical Reactions
Equilibrium
Kinetics</p>
<p>Here is the list of the topics I think you should learn from most important to least important (if I’m forgetting something, tell me):</p>
<ul>
<li>Stoichiometry</li>
<li>Periodic Table Trends (electronegativity, ect.)</li>
<li>Chemical Bonding/Reactions</li>
<li>Gas Laws</li>
<li>Atomic Theory</li>
<li>Molecular Geometry</li>
<li>States of Matter</li>
<li>Solubility/Reactions</li>
<li>Intermolecular Forces</li>
<li>Kinetics</li>
<li>Chemical Equilibrium</li>
<li>Acids and Bases</li>
<li>Thermodynamics</li>
<li>Electrochemistry</li>
<li>Liquids and Solids</li>
<li>Nuclear Chemistry</li>
<li>Organic Chemistry</li>
</ul>
<p>By the way, the reason why I have Kinetics over Chemical Equilibrium is because Equilibria makes more sense once you understand Kinetics. If you have to omit some, omit the ones that are the least important for AP Chemistry (the end of this list). But try to learn it all!</p>
<p>I recommend using a prep book to guide your studying, if you really want to get a head start. My AP chem teacher in high school recommended a prep book that she wanted us to use during the year.</p>
