It serves as your private tutor, leading you along, giving you help, and asking the right questions. The Guide lets you study and review on your own, testing your understandign to help you prepare for examination.s Chemistry will come alive as you become actively involved in*mastering this subject. Every chapter begins with a list of objectives. They state exactly what skills you should develop in a particular unit. Each objective corresponds to a section in the textbook Living Chemistry. Thus, to master objective number 2 for Chapter 1, you would study Section 1.2 in the text. For each objective, you will find three kinds of questions to check your understandin:g short answer (Study Questions,) multiple-choic,e and fill-in. The answers for all questions are provided at the end of the chapter. After taking the first quiz, you may find that you have answered several questions incorrectly. Yo u then know which areas need further study. For example, if you miss question 5 of a quiz in Chapter 2, you should go back to Section 2.5 in the text, studying this material again until you think that you have mastered objective 5 for this chapter. Do not become frustrated if you make mistakes. The purpose of the quiz is to help you know what to study. When you have reviewed the material correspondign to your incorrect answers, take the next quiz in the chapter. Again, carry out the procedure described in the previous paragraph, studying those topics you have not yet mastered. The third quiz then gives you another chance to test your mastery of the chapter objectives. Use the key word matching quiz to check your understandign of new words in the chemistry "vocabulary". First try to write down definitions of each term. Check your answers with the Glossary at the end of this guide. Then try matching each word with the correct response from the list of definitions in the quiz. After you have completed all the quizzes in a chapter of this guide, you should be confident of your knowledge of that portion of the text. Yo u can now answer the Exercises at the end of the chapter in Living Chemistry, which may have been assigned as homework questions. Completing the quizzes in the guide has also prepared you to take the examination provided by your instructo.r ix 1 Matter and measurement To demonstrate an understanding of Chapter 1, you should be able to: 1. Describe the scientific method. 2. Interpret the major prefixes of the metric system (SI). 3. Identify units of mass within the metric system. 4. Identify units of length in the metric system. 5. Identify units of volume in the metric system. 6. Find the density of a substance from its mass and volume. 7. Compare the three major temperatuer scales in terms of the size of degree and the location of zero degrees. 8. Describe the properties of the three major states of matter. STUDY QUESTIONS 1.
