AP Chemistry

The AP Chemistry course includes:

• Unit 1: Atomic Structure and Properties
• Unit 2: Molecular and Ionic Compound Structure and Properties
• Unit 3: Intermolecular Forces and Properties
• Unit 4: Chemical Reactions
• Unit 5: Kinetics
• Unit 6: Thermodynamics
• Unit 7: Equilibrium
• Unit 8: Acids and Bases
• Unit 9: Applications of Thermodynamics

In this course, students will:

• plan scientific experiments involving chemicals use, and record and explain each step of the experiment;
• study in depth the periodic table and achieve a greater understanding of its more basic elements;
• learn how different types of chemicals combine, as well as the behaviour of molecules during the reacting process;
• learn about mathematical principles and chemical principles involved in experiments and calculations;
• become familiar with laboratory protocol, safety rules, equipment, etc.
• gain an appreciation for chemistry as a comprehensive body of information and scientific processes.
