Course Description
|
Designed to be the equivalent of introductory college chemistry, students may
earn college credit by examination. This course provides students with the
conceptual framework, knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal
critically with the science of chemistry. Both short and long term laboratory
investigations are an integral part of the curriculum.
The Advanced Placement Chemistry topic outline includes: atomic theory, quantum
mechanics, atomic and molecular structures, chemical bonding, kinetics,
thermodynamics, equilibrium, solution chemistry, periodicity, and the laws for
phases of matter.
Although both AP Chemistry I and AP Chemistry II must be taken to complete the
course content necessary to properly prepare for the Advanced Placement
examination, AP Chemistry I may be taken without continuing through AP Chemistry
II.
Prerequisites for AP Chemistry I:
Chemistry I, Algebra II
Prerequisites for AP Chemistry II:
Advanced Placement Chemistry I
Grades 10 - 12
