I can report measurements and results accurately and precisely, including appropriate use of units and significant figures.

I can draw and interpret particle representations.

My responses show all work using an acceptable and easily understood format, including complete and accurate labeling of all values.

I can support a result or conclusion with evidence.

I can analyze a result for error and offer reasonable sources of error.

 I can classify, describe, compare, or contrast various classifications of matter and its changes in a variety of ways.

Given some of these for an isotope, I can determine the correct values for the rest: symbol, isotope name, protons, neutrons, mass number.

I can identify, compare, and contrast the three major types of radioactive decay and can write and interpret nuclear decay equations for them.

I can use the relationship between half-life, time, and remaining quantity to calculate missing values.

 I can predict the formula and charge of an ion.

 I can write the correct formula for a compound given a cation and an anion or separate a given ionic compound into the correct ratio of cation to anion.

Given a chemical formula I can write the correct name.

Given a chemical name I can write the correct formula.

I can determine the molar mass of an element or compound.

I can use conversions to describe a quantity of a substance in terms of mass or moles.

I can predict the products of a reaction given only the reactants.

I can balance chemical equations.

I can use stoichiometry to relate the quantity of one chemical in a reaction to the quantity of a different chemical used, produced, or remaining in that reaction.

I can choose the appropriate gas law to solve a variety of problems involving gases.

I can use Kinetic Molecular Theory to explain observed gas behaviors.

 I can create ionic compounds from ions and break down ionic compounds into ions.

I can determine and use the molar mass of a compound.

 I can write complete ionic and net ionic equations.

 I can calculate the moles of solute, volume of solution, volume of water needed, or molarity of solution from appropriate data.
