Chemistry Recovery Final Exam Review

Directions:

You will be given a periodic table with polyatomic ions and any formulas you may need.
If you complete the entire review sheet by the day of your exam you will be eligible for the curve
should one be applied.
The answers to this review must be on a separate sheet of lined paper. To the best of our ability
we have tried to provide a chapter that can be reviewed to help with that content.
