SNC1W Chemistry Unit Test Review
The best way to study for a test in this course is to review your notes and the worksheets you have completed. This
test will cover ALL Chemistry topics that we have discussed so far. For each topic below, you will have a class note
and practice questions—redo these. Please also ensure that you are reviewing labs and class activities. This is your
best way to get a good understanding of the material.
You will need to bring;
● Pencil, eraser, and calculator.
What do I need to know for the test?
● What is Matter? ● Physical and Chemical Properties (+ Density)
● Changing States ● Physical and Chemical Changes
● Particle Theory ● Atomic Structure
● Pure Substances ● Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams
● Mixtures ● Lewis Dot Diagrams
● Laws of Matter ● Intro to Ionic and Molecular Compounds
● The Periodic Table of Elements ● Counting Atoms
Practice Questions:
1. List the five main ideas of the Particle Theory in your own words.
2. Draw what the particles look like in a liquid, solid, and gas. How do they differ in their movement?
3. How does the movement of particles change based on temperature?
4. Use the particle theory to explain why cooling down metal causes it to contract (shrink).
5. What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?
6. What is the difference between an element and a compound? Provide examples of each.
7. What is the difference between a homogenous and a heterogeneous mixture? Provide examples of each.
8. Identify the following as a homogeneous mixture (solution) or heterogeneous mixture (mechanical
mixture):
a. A window e. Clear apple juice
b. Chocolate chip ice cream f. A slice of pizza
c. Poutine g. Pasta salad
d. Gatorade h. Diet Coke
9. Where are the metals, non-metals and metalloid elements located on the periodic table?
10. What are some physical and chemical properties of a non-metal?
11. What are some physical and chemical properties of metals?
12. Explain the significance of the bold “staircase” line on the periodic table.
13. Describe two ways in which the Periodic Table is organized.

DENSITY - USE GRASS TO SOLVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. An object has a mass of 2800g and a volume of 3cm3. What is its density?
2. What is the density of a substance with a mass of 37.5 g and a volume of 20L?
3. If a substance has a density of 2700 kg/m3 and a volume of 200 m3, what is its mass?
4. A puppy’s rubber ball has a density of 1.20 g/mL. If the mass of the ball is 458 g, find its volume.
