Doing Chem without 1/2?

[Nomvalt]

This is the last set of Chemistry I did at Year 10.
See if you know it all, or master it now.

Wow that's a lot more chemistry than my science class ever did in year 10. All that we really went through as a class was the periodic table, covalent/ionic bonding, isotopes/radioactivity and balancing chemical equations. Though I got my year 11 chem textbook pretty early as well so was able to cover much of the topics I would have been taught if we went through it properly anyway. Is this amount work covered normal in year 10 for Victorian students? I'm just curious, coz if not then I can see why mhs as a group does so well each year. What did everybody go through in year 10 chem?

Ehh sorry. Unit 2.2 was eradicated from the course, I covered that personally. Oh and that was Semester 2 only. I didn't upload Semester 1 as it was 3.17MB...too big

Know about 3/4 of it the Some reaction types and equation part i didnt/havnt learnt.

I found TSFX summer course dreadful - I did it in the summer before Yr 11 and learnt very little.  Never did it again.

Cheers shall keep it in mind


Also having a look at the 2008 unit 4 exam seems like a foreign language i knew 1 answer on the whole exam.
Does anyone have a source i can learn how to balance equations? seems like it should be basic knowledge and i have no idea..

First thing you need to learn is the elecrovalency table and the properties of the periodic table.

+1. Emphasis was put on us during transition to memorise it. Attached.

Learn/memorise/familiarise/do the following:
1. Electrovalencies (important)
2. Solubilities (not as important in unit 1)
3. Basic formulas (Avagadro's, the basic mole one, etc.)
4. Know the first 20 elements and electron configs, basic properties, etc.
5. Don't do all the chapter reviews (or you'll have nothing to do in the year before tests!)


Thats it.
