About Course
ABOUT THIS COURSE: This course begins with an introduction to chemistry, covering its importance, branches, and applications in daily life. Students will then become familiar with laboratory equipment, safety rules, and proper handling of chemicals. The nature of matter is explored, including its states, physical and chemical properties, and changes.
The course further examines elements, their symbols, valency, and how they combine to form compounds and mixtures. Standard separation techniques such as filtration, distillation, and chromatography will be studied to understand how substances are purified.
Students will also learn about the particulate nature of matter, including atoms, molecules, and ions. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) system of naming chemical compounds will be introduced to ensure correct chemical identification.
Finally, the course will cover atomic structure, including atomic number, mass number, isotopes, and how these concepts relate to the arrangement of elements in the periodic table.
