Academy Goals

2011-2012

This segment of the presentation was made by Ben Wardrop. Dan Barnes has modified it somewhat . . .

How are We Measured?

• Every school in California earns an Academic Performance Index (API) score.

• This score combines the performance of all students in two categories:

–CST

–CAHSEE• API scores are on a scale of 200-1000

Our Past Performances

Our Goal for this Year

The School of Engineering has set a goal of:

800

This means we must make a 122 point jump from last year to achieve this goal.

How Do We Get There?

Every FridayAction

Commit 5 focused minutes of each class to test prep questions

BenefitPrepared for next class assessment AND

familiarized with CST topics

How Do We Get There?

CST test days in MayAction

Give each question full attention and effort

Benefit

Passing grade on CAHSEE and improved performance band on CST

How Do We Get There?

Every Day!Action

Respect yourself by always trying your best

Benefit

High individual and school-wide scores

What our Future Looks Like

If everyone in the Academy scores Basic and passes the CAHSEE our API will be:

838!And we can even do better than that!

Q6. Which describes the bonding within solid magnesium (Mg)?

A. Atoms of magnesium share two electrons to fill their valence energy level.

B. One atom of magnesium transfers two valence electrons to a neighboring magnesium atom, creating ions.

C. Magnesium atoms form double covalent bonds to empty their valence energy level.

A. Zinc shares one electron with each chlorine atom.

B. Zinc donates two electrons, one to each chlorine atom.

C.Each chlorine atom donates one electron to the zinc atom.

D. Zinc gains two electrons from each chlorine atom.

What kind of bond is it when two atoms share electrons?

A covalent bond forms between a nonmetal atom and another nonmetal atom.

Zinc is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal.

Q9. Chemical bonds provide the forces of attraction that hold molecules together. Sharing electrons forms covalent bonds. Which of the following compounds contains covalent bonds?

A. NaCl

B. NH3

C.Al2S3

D. Li3N

Q11. Which combination would form a compound held together by covalent bonds?

A. AB B. BC

C. CD D. AE

A B C D E

Q13. Ionic bonds result from two atoms

A. sharing electrons

B. exchanging electrons

C. losing electrons

D. gaining electrons

BAD WORD CHOICE

Shame on you, California!The way you wrote your chemistry standards threw ALS off!

“exchange” = “trade”

A MUCH better word would have been . . .

transfering

Q14. Which compound is held together by the sharing of electrons between atoms?

A. MgO

B. CaSO4

C.FeCl3

D. NF3

N and F are both nonmetals. That’s why.

= covalent bonding

nonmetal + nonmetal = covalent bond

Q15. Which compound is held together by ionic bonds?

A. CuO

B. SiO2

C. H2O

D. Cl2

metal + nonmetal = ionic bond

nonmetal + nonmetal = covalent bond

Q22. Where on the periodic table would you find the elements with the largest atomic radii (sizes)?

A. upper left

B. upper right

C. lower left

D. lower right

“Large, loose losers on the lower left.”

A. N, O, F

B. S, Cl, Ar

C. Cl, S, P

D. N, P, As

Fluorine has the highest electronegativity of any element.

Noble gases aren’t even given electronegativity ratings because they don’t form bonds.

As you go down a group, electronegativity ratings get lower.

As you from left to right across a horizontal row in the periodic table, electronegativity values get higher.

A. 4

B. 26

C. 32

D. 66

P in 5A 5 dots each x 1 atom = 5 dots total from P

Now, the equation is balanced, and the coefficient in front of the NH3 is . . . 2

However, “2” is answer A, and the answer key says the correct answer is C.

Perhaps the chemistry wizards in the California department of education don’t like using fractions as coefficients.

In this particular equation, it’s okay to use an odd number over two as a coefficient for O2 because O2 is a diatomic element.

However, if you really hate using fractions as coefficients, there is a solution: multiply every coeffcient by two.

The equation is still balanced, and now, the coefficient in front of NH3 is a “4”.

This is not a good question.

You should never write multiple choice question for which there is more than one correct answer. Maybe that’s why the CA DoE released this CST question.
