Chemistry Overview
Chemistry
involves the study of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. A
broad background is presented in this course. The topics covered
include conversions, atomic theory, the mole concept, formula and
equation writing, chemical bonding, periodicity, stoichiometry, the
behavior of gases, acid-base concepts, properties of solutions, and
kinetics. When possible, topics are introduced or reinforced in
laboratory activities. Problem solving is an important part of this
course and proficiency in algebra is required.
