Some tests contain specific chemistry or science sections; others ask you to be able to recognize important ideas and terms. Some of these key concepts are atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonds, chemical equations, stoichiometry, energy and states of matter, reaction rates, equilibrium, acids, bases, oxidation-reduction, nuclear chemistry, and organic compounds. B. How to Use This Chapter This chapter is presented in outline format as a systematic presentation of important chemistry topics to help you review for your exam. This does not constitute a comprehensive chemistry review—use it as an aid to help you recall concepts you have studied and to identify areas in which you need more study. At the end of this chapter, you will find a list of references and resources for a more complete review. Read each topic and answer the questions that follow. After answering the sample test questions, you can pinpoint where you want to concentrate your efforts. If a question poses particular difficulty for you, study more problems of this type. The more you hone your problem-solving skills, understand basic principles, and recognize core terms, the more relaxed and confident you will feel on test day.
