Unit Test Practice

Lewis Structures Practice --- Answers
This Link explains how to draw 3D Lewis structures and shows a few examples
Chemical Bonding Practice Multiple Choice Test
Formal Charge Khan Academy Video
Bond Polarity
Lewis Structures Khan Academy- this video showed a different way of drawing these bonds but I liked it a lot better because for simpler ones, it was very time saving

In the practice tests I thought this Lewis Structure was really hard so here is the correct structure for anyone else who had the same problem



Unit Exam


The Unit Exam had a lot more questions than I expected and I think that was the worst part of the test. Most of the questions were similar to what we were used to and just a few were really difficult. I felt confident about all the ones I had time for, but I still felt really rushed. I think many of the questions were similar to the ones on the practice tests online and doing those helped a lot. I was worried that I would be completely lost this unit especially since I missed two days of class, but I wasn't as confused as I thought I would be. Overall, I think I would have done really well if we had more time or less questions.

Modeling Lab


I really liked this activity because it was a more fun, hands on way of learning. Going into the lab I was completely lost on the unit and didn't really understand how to place the electrons and such. The first few that I did I was very nervous and had a lot of questions. However, as we went through the lab I got more confident about the process and was able to do it better on my own. I'm really glad that we did this activity because it actually helped me a lot.
