AP+Chem+Key+Graphs

A few of the fundamental concepts in chemistry are described perfectly using graphs. Occasionally, students are asked to examine graphs on AP chemistry exams, and the list below includes the most likely graphs to appear on an exam. Studying these graphs also allows a student to review those fundamental concepts of chemistry.

Top Ten Graphs central to Chemistry

While Mr. Robinson was collecting this list of graphs, he also noticed that there are several pictures and tables which summarize large amounts of information.
