AP Chemistry Summer Assignment
The summer assignment for AP Chemistry has two parts.
1. Complete the practice problems in this packet. You may use the resources listed below as well
as any notes/worksheets from Accel. Chem that you may have.
2. You need to master the formulas, charges, and names of the common ions. On the first week of
the school year, you will be given a quiz on these ions.
You will be asked to:
• write the names of these ions when given the formula and charge
• write the formula and charge when given the names
I have included several resources in this packet. First, there is a list of the ions that you must know on
the first day. This list also has, on the back, some suggestions for making the process of memorization
easier. For instance, many of you will remember that most of the monatomic ions have charges that are
directly related to their placement on the periodic table. There are naming patterns that greatly simplify
the learning of the polyatomic ions as well.
Also included is a copy of the periodic table used in AP Chemistry. Notice that this is not the table used
in first year chemistry. The AP table is the same that the College Board allows you to use on the AP
Chemistry test. Notice that it has the symbols of the elements but not the written names. You need to
take that fact into consideration when studying for the afore‐mentioned quiz!
I have included a sheet of flashcards for the polyatomic ions that you must learn. I strongly suggest that
you cut them out and begin memorizing them immediately. Use the hints on the common ions sheet to
help you reduce the amount of memorizing that you must do. Do not let the fact that there are no
flashcards for monatomic ions suggest to you that the monatomic ions are not important. They are
every bit as important as the polyatomic ions. If you have trouble identifying the charge of monatomic
ions (or the naming system) then I suggest that you make yourself some flashcards for those as well.
Doubtless, there will be some students who will procrastinate and try to do all of this studying just
before the start of school. Those students may even cram well enough to do well on the initial quiz.
However, they will quickly forget the ions, and struggle every time that these formulas are used in
lecture, homework, quizzes, tests and labs. All research on human memory shows us that frequent,
short periods of study, spread over long periods of time will produce much greater retention than long
periods of study of a short period of time.
I could wait and throw these at you on the first day of school, but I don’t think that would be fair to you.
Use every modality possible as you try to learn these – speak them, write them, visualize them.
I look forward to seeing you all at the beginning of the next school year. If you need to contact me
during the summer, you can email me and I will get back to you quickly. Best of luck to you all,
Mrs. Basile

Common Ions and Their Charges
A mastery of the common ions, their formulas and their charges, is essential to success in
AP Chemistry. You are expected to know all of these ions on the first day of class, when I will give you a
quiz on them. You will always be allowed a periodic table, which makes indentifying the ions on the left
“automatic.” For tips on learning these ions, see the opposite side of this page.

Tips for Learning the Ions
“From the Table”
These are ions can be organized into two groups.
1. Their place on the table suggests the charge on the ion, since the neutral atom gains or loses a
predictable number of electrons in order to obtain a noble gas configuration. This was a focus in first
year chemistry, so if you are unsure what this means, get help BEFORE the start of the year.
a. All Group 1 Elements (alkali metals) lose one electron to form an ion with a 1+ charge
b. All Group 2 Elements (alkaline earth metals) lose two electrons to form an ion with a 2+
charge
c. Group 13 metals like aluminum lose three electrons to form an ion with a 3+ charge
d. All Group 17 Elements (halogens) gain one electron to form an ion with a 1- charge
e. All Group 16 nonmetals gain two electrons to form an ion with a 2- charge
f. All Group 15 nonmetals gain three electrons to form an ion with a 3- charge
Notice that cations keep their name (sodium ion, calcium ion) while anions get an “-ide” ending
(chloride ion, oxide ion).
2. Metals that can form more than one ion will have their positive charge denoted by a roman numeral
in parenthesis immediately next to the name of the
Polyatomic Anions
Most of the work on memorization occurs with these ions, but there are a number of patterns that can
greatly reduce the amount of memorizing that one must do.
1. “ate” anions have one more oxygen then the “ite” ion, but the same charge. If you memorize the
“ate” ions, then you should be able to derive the formula for the “ite” ion and vice-versa.
a. sulfate is SO42-, so sulfite has the same charge but one less oxygen (SO32-)
b. nitrate is NO3-, so nitrite has the same charge but one less oxygen (NO2-)
2. If you know that a sufate ion is SO42- then to get the formula for hydrogen sulfate ion, you add a
hydrogen ion to the front of the formula. Since a hydrogen ion has a 1+ charge, the net charge on
the new ion is less negative by one.
a. Example:
PO43HPO42H2PO4phosphate
hydrogen phosphate
dihydrogen phosphate
3. Learn the hypochlorite
chlorite
chlorate
perchlorate series, and you also know the series
containing iodite/iodate as well as bromite/bromate.
a. The relationship between the “ite” and “ate” ion is predictable, as always. Learn one and you
know the other.
b. The prefix “hypo” means “under” or “too little” (think “hypodermic”, “hypothermic” or
“hypoglycemia”)
i. Hypochlorite is “under” chlorite, meaning it has one less oxygen
c. The prefix “hyper” means “above” or “too much” (think “hyperkinetic”)
i. the prefix “per” is derived from “hyper” so perchlorate (hyperchlorate) has one more
oxygen than chlorate.
d. Notice how this sequence increases in oxygen while retaining the same charge:
