This is a great chemistry "cheat" sheet. I give these out to students at the beginning of the year and they can use them on every test. It includes the following information: Periodic Table; Common Oxidation States; Electron Placement Diagram; Location of Outer Electrons; Common Prefixes; Diatomic Elements; Definitions of 1 Mole; Solubility Chart; Solubility Rules; Rules for Significant Digits; Flowchart for Naming Inorganic Compounds; Steps to Dimensional Analysis; Metric Conversion Chart; Common Polyatomic Ion Chart; Common Chemical Equations; Activity Serives of Metals;
I laminate these and put students names on each Chemistry Helper. I have also laminated a classroom set. I only printed on one side of the paper and then I taped & laminated them: Making a cheat prevention shield for when students are taking test.
Very helpful!

Thanks, Mike. This is a great reference sheet for beginning chemistry. I look forward to using it.

Thank you for the Great Resource! Do you mind if I change it for my own needs?
Also do you find the students become dependent on the information provided and are unable to remember them when this sheet is not available? I used to let my students have an ion sheet but on the state test (Ca) they were not given anything in terms of ions.

Feel free to change it to your needs. If you would like an editable copy (Adobe Illustrator) I can get that to you. Currently I do not give them the "cheat sheet" until they pass a memorization test on the elements and ions. Once they have shown an 80% competency then I give them their personalized periodic table and allow them to use it on the test.
