This course provides students with a rigorous study of composition, properties, and changes associated with matter. The content includes, but is not limited to, heat, changes of matter, atomic theory, periodic table, bonding formulas and equations, mole concept, gas laws, energy and order, reaction rates and equilibrium, solutions, acids, bases, salts, nuclear chemistry, electrochemistry, and organic chemistry. Laboratory activities are an integral part of the course. This course continues to expand and apply chemical concepts introduced in chemistry. The content includes, but is not limited to, pH and ionic equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry, organic and biochemistry, and descriptive inorganic chemistry.
Laboratory investigations are an integral part of the course.
Students who perform successfully on the Advanced Placement Examination may receive college credit from participating colleges. The content includes, but is not limited to, structure of matter, chemical reactions, and descriptive chemistry. Laboratory investigations are an integral part of this course. This course provides students with an introductory study of the theories and laws governing the interaction of matter, energy, and the forces of nature. The content includes, but is not limited to, kinematics, dynamics, energy, work and power, heat and thermodynamics, wave characteristics, light, electricity, magnetism, and nuclear physics and sound.
