Concepts to Know


  1. 1. What are the characteristics of acids, bases and neutrals?
  2. 2. What is pH?  What is the pH of acids, bases and neutrals?  What do we use to measure or determine pH?
  3. 3. What are examples of acids, bases and neutrals?
  4. 4. What happens when you put acids and bases together?  What do they form?  What is a neutralization reaction?
  5. 5. What are some common indicators of acids, bases and neutrals and how do they work?
  6. 6. What is a solution? Solvent? Solute?  Saturated solution? Supersaturated solution?  Describe chromatography as a method to separate a solution (mixture).  
  7. 7. Why is carbon so important?
  8. 8. Why can it form so many kids of bonds?
  9. 9. What are the forms of pure carbon? Be able to identify from pictures.
  10. 10.   What is an organic compound?  What are properties of organic compounds?
  11. 11. What are some chemical and structural formulas containing carbon?
  12. 12. What is an isomer?
  13. 13. Why is carbon so important to living things?
  14. 14. What are some important organic compounds for life? How do we use these compounds (like carbohydrates are sugars like sucrose and they are used for energy in our bodies/cells)?
