about
understanding the behavior of matter by studying
the behavior of atoms and molecules.

PROCESS:
Course Questions:
1) How do chemists evaluate experimental error?
2) How does atomic structure relate to chemical bonding and
periodicity?
3) How does the periodic table help us solve problems and make
predictions?
4) Why are balanced equations so important in chemistry?
5) Why are mole relationships so important in chemistry?
6) How do conditions of pressure, volume, and temperature
affect gases?
7) How does the process of solvation change concentration
and properties of a solution?
9) How is energy involved in chemical and physical changes?
10) How do kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics influence
chemical reactions?
There are NO do-overs in Chem II.
Course Expectations:
This class is designed for students who will
need to take a chemistry class in college. It
assumes that the student is comfortable
applying math skills (should be enrolled in
Pre-calculus if you haven’t already had it).
This class uses a college text, includes
college level labs, and requires students to
learn much of the material outside of class on
their own. Expect to do more work for the
same grade you got in Chem I. You must
have excellent attendance to do well in this
class.
