Chemistry
What is Chemistry?
Chemistry studies the properties and behaviors of matter, including its composition, structure, and transformations —allowing us to better understand how the world is made.
The Course
Our chemistry course will cover the basics of the subject, building up from the smallest units of matter to larger and more complex ones. Ideal for those aiming to take more challenging chemistry courses at school such as Honors Chemistry and AP Chemistry.
Topics (as defined by NGSS) covered within the course include:
(Note that each topic will not necessarily be covered in 1 week's class session. More complex topics that include many subtopics, most notably bonds and cell structure, may take multiple weeks to cover in detail.)
Atomic Structure
Elements
Bonds
Molecular Structure and Ions
Periodic Trends
Electron Configuration and Orbitals
Reactions
Biochemistry
Stoichiometry
