Unit 3 Study Guide

Here is the study guide for the upcoming Unit 3 Test. The Study guide will frame the content that will make up the Unit 3 Test. The test will be on Monday and Tuesday November 21/22.

Unit 3 Test 

The practice test will be available tomorrow and will be added to this post in the morning.

I am sorry for the testing on a Monday, but with the holiday I am really stuck with no other good options.

UPDATE: Please omit the periodic trends information (electronegativity, ionization energy, atomic and ionic radius, how the trends change, the highest and lowest values of electronegativity). That content we did not cover and will thus not be on the test.
