Chemistry

ABOUT THIS COURSE: This course introduces students to fundamental chemical principles, starting with the mole concept, which helps quantify substances in chemical reactions.

Students will learn how to write and balance chemical equations, ensuring the correct representation of reactants and products in reactions. The concept of stoichiometry will be explored, focusing on the quantitative relationships between reactants and products. Empirical and molecular formulae will be discussed to determine the simplest and actual compositions of compounds.

The course will cover the laws of chemical combination, which govern how substances react, followed by an in-depth study of chemical bonding and molecular interactions. The kinetic theory of matter will be introduced, explaining the behavior of particles in different states of matter.

Finally, students will study gas laws, including Boyle’s, Charles’, and Avogadro’s laws, to understand how gases behave under varying conditions of temperature, pressure, and volume.
