ABCC-Pretest

Chemistry is the study of the interactions of matter.  In this course, we will take a "modeling" approach to study how and why particles of matter behave in the way they do. Before we begin, I'd like for see what knowledge you bring to the course.  We'll retake this assessment at the end of the course to see how your conceptual understanding has changed.

Carefully consider each question and indicate the one best answer for each. Several of the questions are paired. In these cases, the first question asks about a chemical or physical effect. The second question then asks for the reason for the observed effect.

Note: While this is listed as a "graded" quiz, you will receive full credit for your thoughtful completion.
