What does the periodic table on the SAT Chemistry look like?

<p>My chem teacher last year gave us periodic tables that had all of the ionic charges and oxidation states for every element in the top-right corner of each box.</p>

<p>Does the SAT Chemistry periodic table give you all of the charges, or do you have to memorize some of them?</p>

<p>You have to memorize some of them, but it is not that bad.</p>

<p>Well the charges and oxidation numbers of most of the elements are really easy to memorize, since they all follow a simple pattern. The transition metals might give you a tiny bit of difficulty, but in the end, memorization is memorization.</p>

<p>Does the periodic table look like the one in the new barron’s review book?</p>

<p>Hmm, too lazy to go open my Barron’s book right now. But all it has are the elements’ symbols, and their molecular weight. Nothing more than that.</p>

<p>It’s sideways and stupid…in that it’s sideways</p>

<p>WOAH WOAH WOAH. CB doesn’t provide you with the atomic numbers? How is that going to work!</p>

<p>Barron’s Modern Periodic Table includes:
Numeration of the periods/groups
s/d/p/f block labelings
Molecular weight
Atomic number
Name of elements and symbols
Shorthand for electron configuration (e.g. Li is [He]2s^1
Oxidation states</p>

<p>CB’s table gives you element symbol, atomic number and mass number. That’s it.</p>

<p>Same as the AP Chem periodic table right?</p>

<p>My bad. Atomic weight AND number. Nothing else though. Barron’s table has a lot of stuff that won’t be on the actual one. Try looking at Princeton review’s practice test periodic tables.</p>
