This exam prep document for Chem 1030 – General Chemistry I includes 100 fully solved questions from the 2025/2026 Exam 1 administered at Prado University. It is a comprehensive study guide designed for students pursuing degrees in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, pre-med, chemical engineering, and other science-related fields. The material covers foundational topics in chemistry, including the properties and classification of matter, physical vs. chemical changes, phase transitions, SI units, measurements, and density. A significant portion focuses on atomic structure, the discovery of subatomic particles, isotopes, and the periodic table. Additional in-depth coverage includes quantum theory, the behavior of electrons, atomic orbitals (s, p, d, f), electron configurations, quantum numbers, and periodic trends such as atomic size, ionization energy, and electron affinity. Special attention is given to visual models (ball-and-stick, space-filling), basic spectroscopy concepts, and the role of light and energy in atomic transitions, making it an essential revision tool for first-year university students. The document aligns closely with introductory chemistry syllabi and is perfect for exam preparation, practice, and concept reinforcement. This document is highly relevant for students enrolled in: – General Chemistry I (Chem 1030 or equivalent) – Pre-Medical Chemistry Courses – Introductory Chemistry for Life Sciences – First-Year Science and Engineering Programs Keywords: general chemistry, matter and its properties, physical change, chemical change, atomic structure, isotopes, periodic table, electron configuration, quantum numbers, atomic orbitals, quantum theory, periodic trends, ionization energy, electron affinity, SI units, molecular formulas, Avogadro's number, spectroscopy, Bohr model, light and energy, Aufbau principle, Hund’s rule, Pauli exclusion
