Atomic Structure and Radioactivity Pretest

The pretest for the Atomic Structure and Radioactivity Unit was extremely difficult, as expected. Because I've never learned anything about the atomic structure or radioactivity in chemistry, I did not know the answer to the majority of the questions. However, I am excited to learn about these topics and class. Radioactivity is relevant to me, knowing how close our school is to a nuclear waste site. Also, I want to learn about the atomic structure of atoms because I really enjoy knowing how and why the atoms bond and how they work the way that they do. Although I expect this unit to be tougher than the previous one, I truly am excited to learn about this specific topic.

  1. Although yes, it was difficult, as you said, but I'm also sure that you probably remembered some things from Physical science where we learned about the half life as well as many other things

  3. I agree with you on the fact that it was difficult, but as you progressed in the test, you could eventually figure out the answers. I sort of figured out the isotopic symbol. I actually did alright on the pretest. I was shocked to find out that someone got a high grade in the class without even studying! Wish I was that smart. Then the ACT would be a piece of cake.
