Course Description:
Course consists of three units of different length and value.
Unit 1: Stoichiometry: An introduction to the quantitative aspect of chemistry, students will examine stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is the mole to mole relationship in a balanced chemical equation. When studying reactions, students need opportunities to investigate the usefulness of the reactions. The corresponding calculations provide the tools to investigate and support the student's responses. (40%)
Unit 2: From Structures to Properties: The different forces of attraction involved in matter and how it influences their properties will be studied. Questions such as why does water have the formula H2O and whe does NaCl have such a high melting point will be addressed. (30%)
Unit 3: Organic Chemistry: Organic chemistry is the study of molecular compounds of carbon. The bonding capacity will be reviewed, as will the potential for atoms to form covalent compounds. The vastness of the number of organic molecules will be explored. Students will come to appreciate the need for a systematic naming scheme. Students will be given opportunities to discover how the classification of organic molecules into different family groups depends upon the type of bonding and atoms present. (30%)
