<p>What do i need to know for Ap chem?
I copied this from another site, and if i understood all of this, would i be set for the course? any additional recommendations?</p>
<ol>
<li>Polyatomic Ions (including name, symbol and charge)</li>
<li>Variable Valences for Transition Metals</li>
<li>Rules for Naming Acids</li>
<li>Rules for Naming Ionic Compounds</li>
<li>Solubility Rules</li>
<li>Determining Oxidation Numbers</li>
</ol>
<p>Get the Princeton Review book.</p>

Seconded.</p>
<p>But yeah, you’re missing A LOT of stuff.</p>
<p>Redox, electrochemistry, equilibrium, stoichiometry, gas laws, etc.</p>
<p>Wait, do you mean BEFORE taking AP Chem? Before taking AP Chem, in addition to what you’ve mentioned, you should know:
-Basic stoichiometry
-Lewis dot structures
-Basic gas law stuff (PV=nRT)
-Types of reactions (double replacement, single replacement, combustion reaction, etc.)
-Balancing equations (Especially combustion of a hydrocarbon reactions–if you can do those, you can balance anything, haha)
-The electromagnetic spectrum</p>
<p>I think knowing those little things will make learning bigger concepts in AP Chem easier. Knowing more than that will make the year even easier.</p>
