AP Chemistry “Things To Do” Summer Checklist

AP Chemistry “Things To Do” 

Summer Checklist 

The following items must be completed and turned in by the 

first day of class. Take the time throughout the summer to 

complete these review assignments. 

Memorize “AP Chemical Naming” and “Stuff I Need to Memorize in AP 

Chemistry” handout 

Complete the “AP Chemical Naming and Formula” worksheet. 

Read and understand Chapters 1, 2 and 3. The following 

assignments must be completed and checked with solutions: 

Ch. 1 Problems # 

22,25,29,30,33,36,37,52,57,59,67,75,76,81,82 


11,12,16,17,22,26,31,33,36,38,41,44,45,54,56,58,59,64,69,82 


13,15,20,24,25,43,47,49,57,60,64,66,72,77,78,80,84,88,100,124 

Study and prepare for Chapters 1,2 and 3 Test. You will have Ch. 1, 2 

and 3 Test on the second week of school. 

If you have any questions, please email at jrolader@walton.k12.ga.us 

I will be checking email on a weekly basis. 

I will have completed all of the above summer assignments for AP Chemistry by 

the first day of school.

numerals for d-block metals with 

more than 1 one oxidation number. 

2) name the second element with the 

–ide ending 

Ex: NaCl – sodium chloride 

CuCl2 – copper(II) chloride

a) polyatomic ion has ending: 

replace –ate with –ic 

replace –ite with -ous 

b) add the word acid 

Ex: H2SO4 – sulfuric acid 

H2SO3 – sulfurous acid 

AP CHEMICAL NAMING 

COVALENT compound 

(nonmetal + nonmetal) 

1) name the first element using the 

proper prefix (never use mono-) 

2) name the second element using the 

proper prefix with the –ide ending 

Ex: NO – nitrogen monoxide 

N2O5 – dinitrogen pentoxide 

Prefixes: 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 

mono di tri tetra penta hexa hepta octa nano deca 

ORGANIC compound including Hydrocarbons 

(compounds containing any of the following elements: C, O, H, N) 

1) identify compound as: Alkanes (all single bonds) = CnH2n+2 Ex: CH4 – methane 

Alkenes (at least 1 double bond)= CnH2n Ex: C3H6 – propene 

Alkynes (at least 1 triple bond)= CnH2n―2 Ex: C2H2 – ethyne 

(commonly known as acteylene) 

2) using the proper prefix to represent the number of CARBON atoms in the compound. 

3) if compound has an alcohol group (-OH), use the –ol ending. Ex: C4H9OH – butanol 

Prefixes according to the # of CARBON atoms: 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 17 

meth eth prop but pent hex hept oct non dec dodec heptadec 

compound w/ POLYATOMIC ION 

(metal or nonmetal + polyatomic ion) 

1) use the rules for naming ionic 

compounds 

2) never modify the special name of 

the polyatomic ion 

Ex: NaHCO3 – sodium bicarbonate 

NH4Cl – ammonium chloride 

Fe(NO3)3 – iron (III) nitrate 

short-cuts: 

sulfate (SO4 2- ) – -ate ending for 

polyatomic ions with more oxygen atoms 

sulfite (SO3 2- ) – -ite ending for ions with 

less oxygen atoms 

Ex: nitrate (NO3 ― ) nitrite (NO2 ― )
