Course Overview

This course enables you to deepen your understanding of chemistry through the study of organic chemistry, the structure and properties of matter, energy changes and rates of reaction, equilibrium in chemical systems, and electrochemistry. You will further develop your problem-solving and investigation skills as you investigate chemical processes, and will refine your ability to communicate scientific information. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of chemistry in everyday life and on evaluating the impact of chemical technology on the environment.
