The goal of this introductory chemistry class is to help students attain a
fundamental understanding of chemistry, the characteristics of matter, and the
scientific method. Students will understand the properties and changes of matter,
atomic structure, various molecular shapes and know how to use the Periodic Table
to predict behavior and properties of various elements. Students will be familiar
with the different types of chemical bonds, their properties and formulas, naming
conventions, and how to draw Lewis structures for various compounds. Students
will learn about different types of chemical reactions and how to balance them.
They will be able to perform stoichiometric calculations, understand the different
states of matter and how to use the gas laws to solve problems. Students will also
know how to calculate the concentration of various solutions including how to
dilute known concentrations of molar solutions. Students will know how to
identify acids and bases and calculate their pH and pOH.
