Chemistry 11
In this course students will be studying the physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds. It begins with a study of atomic theory in relation to quantum theory, the shape of molecules in 3D and periodic trends. The atomic and molecular structure of matter is analyzed through experimentation with emphasis on chemical reactions. Students will also be introduced to the concept of a mole and learn about stoichiometry. Solution chemistry (solubility, pH and titrations) and organic chemistry (naming compounds, functional groups and synthesis) are also covered.
These topics are examined using a wide variety of techniques including laboratory activities, analysis, projects and investigations.
A strong background in the chemistry topics from Science 9 and 10 as well as math skills is required.
